Spotting at a little over 5 weeks, this is normal right?

Hi Ladies, i am a little over 5 weeks. This was my 4th ivf and I had my second beta yesterday which was over 9,089. I've had a little brown spotting since the weekend off and on. I asked the re if this was normal and they said progesterone can irritate the cervix. I take 200mg four times a day so i guess that makes sense, right? I am just nervous bc I had a missed miscarriage last September at 10 weeks. I guess I am just looking to see if this has happened to anyone else bc i didn't spot the last time from the progesterone. I am taking comfort in yesterdays high beta but i dont go back until next Wed.
Thanks!!

id would ask for them to change your appointment some time this week...

spotting is extremely common... but it was a bad sign for me so i would never let spotting go without getting checked out asap...

It can be due to many different things. Not always a reason to panic, but better to call your OB and discuss with them just to be sure.

Hang in there!

I had spotting at 5 and a half weeks, and my OB told me that that's the time when the embryo burrows itself further into your lining. It's a second implantation bleeding.

It's so scary to see blood, I know. I had spotting 3 times, several weeks apart, and bright red blood at 14 weeks. But the OB always told me that unless it was enough to fill a sanitary pad and / or accompanied by cramps worse than period cramps, that I was ok.

Thanks everyone! I will wait to see how it goes tonight. So far it has pretty much stopped. Seems to happen after i use the progesterone. I have no crampung so if starts up again tomorrow i am going to call. They didnt seem concerned and it only happens a few times on the tp so hopefully it will stop. Thanks!!

I am also on vag. progesterone supp. and had some very light bleeding between 5 and 6 weeks. I go to the RE weekly still and everything is fine and I am 7w3d now. It def. made me feel better to go to the doc.

Re: Spotting at a little over 5 weeks, this is normal right?

i had brown spotting around 7 weeks and light pink at 9.5... both times i was told it could be something or it could be nothing. lucky for me it was nothing but you should definitely see your doctor to make yourself feel better!

I had spotting / bleeding the entire pregnancy so far and amazingly my babies are doing good. It is SO stressful, especially after a loss (i know) Time will be your best friend in this The more time that passes, the bigger the babies, the more confident you will become. I would just request sonos every week, to give you piece of mind.

Re: Spotting at a little over 5 weeks, this is normal right?

I had spotting for a solid week from 5-6 weeks. They did 3 sonos for me and so far all is fine
