5 weeks and spotting

So worried!! I’m 5 weeks and yesterday noticed a small amount of brown blood when l wiped. Called the early pregnancy unit and they have said there is nothing we and just to hold out. I am so scared. I know that a little bit of bleeding can happen and as it’s brown it could be old blood but we’ve tried so hard for this!!

Try not to worry, I bleed for 3 weeks sometimes brown and sometimes bright red and everything was ok. Try and rest as much as poss and keep hydrated xx

I've got 2 friends who both had bleeding around 5-8 weeks.. 1 ready to give birth now and the other 14 weeks 😊 xx

Hi Valjohn 2014. Sounds like some old blood coming away from egg collection punctures. Have a rest when you can. As you say, brown is old, so unless lots of bright red, hopefully all will be well. Thinking of you. Diane
