Some women spot, some bleed, some don't. It can be a sign of impending miscarriage, or it may not be. Either way, it isn't anything you can control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-light-spotting-during-early-pregnancy-is-safe#post-2754390 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 20:49:29 +0000 erinbaderin 2754390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two instances of full out bleeding and then two weeks of spotting, healthy baby boy. On the other hand, I also had a week of spotting that resulted in a miscarriage. They both started at 5w5d. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-light-spotting-during-early-pregnancy-is-safe#post-2754386 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 20:40:50 +0000 Littlebit7 2754386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had legit bleeding at 8 weeks and everything was fine. Bodies are weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-light-spotting-during-early-pregnancy-is-safe#post-2754376 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 19:13:52 +0000 pachamama 2754376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, the internet makes it seem like spotting is abnormal when almost every woman I know had some spotting early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-light-spotting-during-early-pregnancy-is-safe#post-2754374 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 18:57:54 +0000 pachamama 2754374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Curious_Katty: I spotted for about 8 weeks, mostly brown. I was on progesterone suppositories so I thought that might have been the cause but I am 5w3d now and on progesterone with no spotting! Baby#1 was perfectly healthy and my pregnancy and labor were wonderful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-light-spotting-during-early-pregnancy-is-safe#post-2754354 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 16:22:56 +0000 Coral 2754354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! While spotting is something that usually "sounds the alarms," spotting in early pregnancy can be due to a lot of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-light-spotting-during-early-pregnancy-is-safe#post-2754352 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 16:10:15 +0000 Curious_Katty 2754352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is completely redundant to my previous post and I'm still trying to conceive. I've heard spotting can be a sign of either ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Just wanted to know - is it possible to keep spotting infrequently during early gestation? </p>
