Spotting 10 days till Week 5

I’ve had light dry brown spotting 4 days before my period was due. I tested positive the day my period was supposed to come. Brown Spotting continued daily till today (10 days since first spotting). I went to A&E today to have it checked out, embryo with yolk sac could be seen within the uterus (hence ruled out ectopic pregnancy). Did a blood test and will redo again in 2 days to check if hCg doubles. I wonder if it’s normal to have brown spotting (no fresh blood streaks), doctor said it’s unusual to have implantation bleeding this long. Appreciate if anyone can share some experiences? Thank you in advance. #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby

I had spotting similar to yours all the way in my first trimester. Then when I hit my second trimester, it stopped completely. I am now in week 32 of my pregnancy and my baby has been growing happy and healthily. I’d say take the necessary precautions and checks from your gynae but also don’t worry or read up too much about it because curiousity and anxiety kills the cat! If you don’t have any fresh blood or cramps, you’re generally fine!

Yes yes, thank you for sharing! I’m really new to this, and friends around me somehow didn’t experience any of these. Hence, I got slightly concerned. I’m thankful for this community ◡̈
