Brown spotting daily in early pregnancy
Hi everyone. I'm on my first pregnancy now and kinda anxious about everything. I'm about 5w 3d now.
I started having a very light brown spotting about a week ago. It's kinda gotten lighter some days, heavier some days, but hasn't completely stopped. I started on progesterone from my OB the day after the spotting started but it hasn't gone away yet. The heaviest that it has gotten is probably less than 25% of a pantiliner, it's mostly a couple of drops or a thin streak in 24 hours. It hasn't gotten heavier and I have had only very mild intermittent cramps (MUCH milder than my usual period cramps).
Has anyone else experienced the same? Getting stressed every time I google this. I'm too early to see the OB so my first ultrasound will only be next Friday, which seems ages away.

I hope everything turns out OK at my first OB visit next Friday, fingers crossed!
I did a scan last Friday, saw the gestation sac and everything in the right place (so not an ectopic pregnancy, which is a load off my mind at least) but wasn't able to detect a heartbeat just yet. The gynae said it's likely to be still too early as she dated it about 6w1d +/- 10 days, so I'm going back again next Friday for another scan.
