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 brown spotting during my first trimester too. Gynae said no issues after doing all the necessary checks and my friend told me prolly was all the “old blood” being expelled from my body too. Everything progressed smoothly and fast forward to today, I’ll be delivering next month. So don’t worry too much! Week 5 is still pretty early on, as some commented here as long as no fresh blood accompanied by cramps, it’s ok! By week 8, u will be able to hear your bb’s heartbeat alr, relax in the meanwhile and keep ur everyday duties light!
