Am I losing the baby?
Am I losing the baby?

I can't tell you anything for certain, but I can share that I had brown/pink spotting with both my pregnancies early on and they developed normally with healthy outcomes. With my first, around 6 weeks I had red/brown spotting which turned out to be an SCH that resolved itself. With my second it was just around when AF should have happened but didn't.
Always best to call your provider, even just for peace of mind. This is hard, sending you hugs.

I had redish brown bleeding with E at 6w and 10w both made me so scared. I called my doctor for both and was seen in the office after the 6w scan and went to the ER for the 10w scan. I hope this works out for you.

I also had some red/brown bleeding early on with both of my pregnancies. The first was enough to fill a liner and I freaked out and had them check my hcg levels. The second was just spotting. Everything turned out ok. hoping it is the same for you!

A little bleeding can be normal at the beginning. I had some! Keep us posted on how it goes. You can always call your doctor if you are worried.

I had what I thought was my first postpartum period when I was actually about 4 weeks pregnant and didn’t know it. It was either very heavy implantation bleeding or a SCH. I found out I was pregnant a few weeks later...I’m so glad I didn’t know at the time or I would’ve definitely panicked. Sending you lots of positive thoughts that it’s nothing to worry about

Just wanted to say I'm 10+3 and have been spotting brownish pink since about 6 weeks. Have had 3 ultrasounds in that time and baby is right on track. I don't even have any visible subchorionic bleeding. They think it's my cervix that's causing the spotting. FWIW, with my miscarriage I never bled/spotted at all.
You could request betas since you're still really early, but my practice stops doing them even if you're high risk once a clinical pregnancy has been established because levels and doubling times can vary so much from pregnancy to pregnancy.

@CatchAFallingStar: I bled my entire first trimester with LO2 - sometimes brown, sometimes bright red. It was terrifying but ultimately ok. Fingers crossed for you.

@CatchAFallingStar: have you taken another frer yesterday or today? Hoping for the best for you!

@Chuckles: no.. I think it would be positive but wouldn’t tell me much

@CatchAFallingStar: I know it's not a totally reliable indicator, but I've had 3 losses between 4 and 5 weeks and all 3 times the lines on my tests got lighter before I started bleeding. If your line is still strong, I'd think that would be a good sign.

I’ve never felt so profoundly sad. I’m so sorry for all the mothers who have gone through this.

@CatchAFallingStar: if they’ll do betas for you I’d do those just to see that they go up normally. I had bleeding with my positive pregnancy test this time and went to see my doctor who ordered three betas. I had early bleeding on and off this time and in my second pregnancy too. Hope everything is going to go well for you.

I had spotting with both pregnancies. And both resulted in healthy babies!
Turned out I had low progesterone. I was put on progesterone supplements (candidly, they SUCK! but worth it...) and that fixed everything. I would ask to have your progesterone levels checked.

It feels like a period now. No cramps yet, but I’m fairly certain it’s not a viable pregnancy. Still waiting for the doctor.

@CatchAFallingStar: I'm sorry you are going through this! I'm hopeful that an ultrasound can be done soon and will give you some good news.

@CatchAFallingStar: ugh I'm so sorry you're going through this. I went through a chemical last cycle and it sucks so bad. I hope it turns out to be nothing. FWIW many ladies (including spotting) have had spotting/bleeding that ended in a normal pregnancy. Fingers crossed for you!

My beta HCG was only 5.6, so it’s not a viable pregnancy. I’m surprisingly ok. I don’t know why. I think maybe because this opened us both up to knowing for sure we want another baby. We will most likely have to go back to our fertility doctor, but that’s ok. It’s very sad to say goodbye to this pregnancy. But, I know that our baby is still waiting to come to us.

Sorry to hear this. Glad it cemented the baby desire for you and you can move forward together with a plan. What a hard thing.

@CatchAFallingStar: I'm so sorry to see this, but glad to hear it brought you some clarity. All the luck for when you're ready to try again.
