Brown/pale pink spotting

[Amanda86]

Hey all

This morning about an hour or so after taking my pessaries I noticed that I hate brown/pink spotting. It was in my pants mixed with the pessaries (I forgot to put a liner on) I wiped a couple of times and it was on the tissue. I wiped again and then there was nothing more.

I have no pain. However, with my miscarriage a few years ago I did begin spotting a few days before the miscarriage happened and didn't have pain although I think the spotting then was more pink/red.

Just feeling really anxious now.

We're away to Loch Lommond for the weekend leaving in a couple of hours so it couldn't have come at a worse time 😩

Thanks everyone xxx

Try not to one worry - spotting happens a lot in early pregnancy. I’m sure it’s will be fine xxxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Fredaflintstone]

Thank you 🙏 Xxx

I totally understood how you're feeling, the anxiety is awful. Spotting is normal in pregnancy I read about it.

Easier said than done but try and enjoy your time away and don't worry too much.

If you're concerned ring your clinic and hopefully they can put your mind at ease. Sometimes we freak out at these things and when we get reassurance from professionals it seems a bit better.

Take care x

[Amanda86 in reply to Dream32]

Thank you. I might give them a call as sometimes I've heard they increase proestrogen when spotting so might be worth calling them xxx

[Dream32 in reply to Amanda86]

Yes I think I've read that somewhere too. Hope you feel better after speaking to them x

Hi Amanda86. Oh dear! So often this happens, and we don't know why. Have a word with your clinic, who may ask you to double up on your pessaries. Try not to worry unless it become really red. Try and enjoy your trip to the Loch, The colours are wonderful at this time of year. Thinking of you. Diane

[Amanda86 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thank you Diane. It's still brown when I just went to toilet now. I'm not having pain but my stomach is feeling slightly more heavy with sore of twinge feelings is the only way I can describe it, I'm aware of the feelings but it's not causing me discomfort xxx

[DianeArnold Partner Nurse Fertility Network UK in reply to Amanda86]

Hi Amanda86. That sounds like some old blood coming away, even after all these weeks, or it could be the pessaries irritating you?? The twinges you are feeling are probably just due to your womb starting to move and pulling on the ligaments. You must be almost nearing your scan date, so fingers crossed all will be well and it will reassure you. Thinking of you as always. Diane

[Amanda86 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thank you Diane 😘 Xxx

Hope the clinic can offer some reassurance. Thinking of you and hope you manage to enjoy your time away. Xx

[Amanda86 in reply to Lou9]

Thank you xxx

I know how your feeling Amanda, my spotting has settled but convinced all is not well because of the cramps I had too. It's a good sign that you haven't had any cramping, I'm sure you've googled the crap out of it like I have and found that spotting is really common, try enjoy yourself you need a break from all this. I'm heading to a place outside Dundee for my Dads 70th, glad to be getting a change of scenery and be away from my supply of pregnancy tests, sending love xxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Allybally81]

I'm now having twinges. It's not painful I'm just aware of little feelings like twinges in my stomach and right side? Just wiped and had more spotting 😡🙁 still brown.

The worry is awful isn't it? How long did your spotting last?

I hope you enjoy your weekend away 😘 Xxx

[Allybally81 in reply to Amanda86]

It lasted about 2 days as did the cramping. I tested this morning and actually got the 3+ weeks on clear blue but I realise hcg can stay in your system regardless of the outcome. Just rest up, and tell them to hang on in there that's what I'm doing! Love Ali xxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Allybally81]

Thank you. I'm very reassured that it's brown. I did a cheap test this morning after my spotting and got 2 strong lines, same as you though I realise it doesn't always mean anything but still reassuring non the less. Thank you 😘 Xxx

[Tugsgirl]

I had brown spotting first time. It wasn’t a sign of my miscarriage. My clinic told me it’s very common, brown is old, they even said that the cyclogest can irritate the cervix. You must be so worried... I hope all settles down for you soon and that you can enjoy your weekend away xx

[Amanda86 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thank you, it's remained brown which is reassuring. Just hope it eases off so I can at least enjoy our few days away. Thank you 😘 Xxx

thinking of you ❤

[Amanda86 in reply to misswinky34]

Thank you 😘 Xxx

[Frenchie2017]

The symptoms you are describing are exactly the same as I had a couple of days before my OTD. The brown/pink spotting lasted less 24 hours... I've convinced myself it was just old blood (as it was mainly brown) and my body was just getting rid of it... As others have said, give the clinic a call as they may up your pesseries as a precaution. Have a lovely weekend away and try to relax xxxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Frenchie2017]

Thank you 😘 I've gave them a call although they haven't picked up yet. I'll keep trying though xxx

[Cinderella5]

Hopefully its just the pessaries causing irritation! Hope you can enjoy your weekend away!xx

[Amanda86 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you 😘I hope so xxx

[Oakey80]

I had this for nearly the whole 12wks I was on those damn pessaries. Was also worried at first but it just seemed to be them irritating my cervix. I read somewhere not to push them in too far and this seemed to stop it for the last couple of weeks I was on them. Was so glad to see the back of them! xxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Oakey80]

Thanks Oakey. Funnily enough I pushed the pessarie in far last night and this morning as I was amazed at how far is seems to be able to go, maybe that's been the cause. I'll be more cautious now with how I put it in xxx

[MrsTM13]

Try not to worry. Enjoy loch lommand- it's currently raining I have to warn you so I hope you have your wellies. Raining or not always beautiful and relaxing which will hopefully help relax you. X

[Amanda86 in reply to MrsTM13]

Thank you. Wellies are packed 🙂 Xxx

[Strawb86]

I had this with bells on! Try not to worry it really is just one of those things xx

[Amanda86 in reply to Strawb86]

Thank you, hope it's the same for me then 🙂 So far no more spotting, nothing on my pad either so 🤞 I'm taking a little comfort from the fact I've no pain xxx

[Poppy16]

Try not to get upset though I know easier said than done! Enjoy your trip to Loch Lomond. Such a beautiful place and especially at this time of year. As long as staining is not red blood it is maybe just implantation bleeding or else common early pregnancy spotting that alot of pregnant women get. For reassurance you could call your gp or local early pregnancy clinic for advice. I understand how you are feeling anxious especially as you have lost in the past but you have to try and remain positive for yourself and your precious baby. Take care. Xo

[Amanda86 in reply to Poppy16]

Thank you. Tried to call clinic a couple of times but no answer. I've had no further spotting so hopefully all is ok 🙏🤞 will try to enjoy our weekend away and just hope that the spotting stays away xxx

[Allybally81 in reply to Amanda86]

How are you now Amanda? I've had some further spotting on toilet roll this morning, I don't know how I will get through the coming days before scan, feel like giving up xx

[Amanda86 in reply to Allybally81]

Hey Ally, that's a shame you've had some more. Do you think it could be the pessaries?

I've had no further spotting since yesterday afternoon. Yesterday my back ached all day and at night I had a really heavy feeling in my stomach like AF could come, but this morning I've woken up feeling ok so 🤞 Xxx

[Allybally81 in reply to Amanda86]

I'm wondering if it is as I kind of feel tender in the area they go. Just feel like I've got no symptoms other than negative ones, I've booked a private scan, will only be a few days before NHS one but I need this uncertainty to end xxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Allybally81]

I feel the same with symptoms. Horrible isn't it? I'm also considering a private scan. I'm going to wait a few more days but thinking to book one for when I'll be 6 weeks 5 days. It really is such a long time to wait 🙁

I do feel it could be pessaries. They have me bad thrush this time as well 😩 Xxx

[Amanda86 in reply to Allybally81]

Hi Ally, how's things? Xxx
