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

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
