Question about spotting
I just peed and when I wiped I saw a tiny bit of red (like the amount to equal the size of a nail head- maybe a little smaller). Do you think this is something to be concerned about? I have no cramping.
I'm not sure what is considered spotting- would I need to wear a pad, because it would be that much, or would I see it in my urine?
Not sure if I should call my Dr. Like I said, it's a very tiny amount and don't want to be over reacting, but also not sure if it could be something bad.

Re: Question about spotting
I've been spotting ever since I found out I was PG, so it's been going on an entire month now. For me, it's been there when I wipe and rarely makes it way to the undies, so I haven't had to wear a pad or anything at all. It's been mostly brown, sometimes pink and red only once.
Even though I haven't had any cramping and it's never been a lot, I was still very nervous when it first started and called my Dr. I've already been to see them twice (I'm just 9 weeks today) and getting to see the little bean and see the heartbeat (haven't heard it yet though, maybe Monday if I'm lucky) made me feel a TON better.
If you're concerned at all, call your Dr, it's better to be checked out and see that things are ok than to worry at home!

Re: Question about spotting
How far along are you? Whenever ive had tiny amounts of red blood it was from irritation. ( i was on progesterine so it can irritate). I could also feel sore then too. I was told to dab, not wipe because all our blood flows down to that region and we are more apt to be swollen and have bleeding from irritation.

Re: Question about spotting
Just want to throw this out there - is there a chance it came from your bladder? It could be a sign of a UTI, not sure if you've had any other symptoms.
If that's all that you have, I probably wouldn't worry about it. If it gets worse, or you have cramps, or you are nervous, call your doctor.

I am 6 weeks. Where ever the blood was from, it was very little and it has stopped. I will def keep an eye on it though. And that's good advice, to dab and not wipe.. thanks!
