Spotting at 6 weeks

hi all, I am on my forth FET after three miscarriages prior to six weeks.

I am so happy getting a positive pregnancy test again but been really worried as started to get spotting at six weeks which has continued upto now and I am nine weeks pregnant.

I have had two scans ( six amd eight weeks) and heart beat has been present. But the daily spotting has me anxious and worried every time i go to the bathroom and it is there when I wipe. Has anyone experienced similar spotting and what was the out come?

Not quite the same experience but I had spotting everyday from about 6 dpt and two large red bleeds until 8 weeks. Spotting then returned at 12-14 weeks. No cause ever found and baby is healthy and here. I had swabs galore for infections etc and my cervix checked for polyps and ectropians and 4 scans but nothing ever found as to why. I’m not unconvinced it wasn’t linked to my progesterone not being absorbed well and then stopping it but this was never confirmed. I was told that anecdotally Ivf pregnancies do bleed more but no idea why.

I remember how I was similarly petrified and had miscarried several times before so understand how awful this feels. I was genuinely shocked when the scans said baby was still there. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you for the positive words and sharing your experience. As you said until I hold baby I think it will be difficult but I will try my best.

could it be that your progesterone or oestrogen levels are low? It happened to me due to low oestrogen..
