I am 37 and just over five weeks pregnant with my first. Last week I went to the dr because I thought I had a bacterial infection and I wanted to be tested. I still do not have the results back but they did do blood work and everything looked normal. Well, a couple of days ago I started very light pinkish brown spotting. I put in a pantiliner to monitor it and it is not much at all. However, I called my doctor and on Monday they sent me for more blood work and a transva___al ultrasound. My blood work looked great and on the u/s they were able to locate a smal sac in my uterus. They want me to come back in ten days to see if they can locate a heartbeat. I am still spotting and very concerned. I wonder if the inital test for the BV could have caused some delayed bleeding (I often bleed after gyn exams) or I wonder if I will miscarry. Has anyone experienced this very light spotting and then had a successful pregnancy?

In my fourth pregnancy(my baby is 6 weeks) never had a mc, I started spotting a little brown at 6 weeks 5 days we went in had an us and an internal exam. us showed baby with heartbeat of 126 bpm. After the appointment a few hours later I called the dr because when I went to pee and wiped I saw pink blood but just one wipe. She said it was probably from the internal but I was worried. On and off in the first about maybe 10 weeks sometimes I would see a bit, a tiny bit of brownish spotting. I must have had seven u/s in my first trimester because I was convinced something was wrong. My dr. would do an u/s every time I was concerned and they all showed everything to be fine. It was just old blood or unexplained spotting that some women get. I never had it in my first three pregnancies so I was really worried. I carried Ethan to term and he was born at 8lbs. 4oz. I know it is scary but hang in I had a friend tell me a long time ago to enjoy your pregnancy because whatever is going to happen will happen but stop worrying and embrace and enjoy this time. I know easier said than done. Good luck. I have said a prayer for you and your baby.

Carly, thank you for your kind thoughts and words. It was encouraging to hear your story. I'm doing my best to eat right, get enough rest and take my vitamins. Beyond that, I have no control over this situation. Whatever is going to happen, is going to happen. Hopefully, I will have some more answers next week after the u/s.
