spotting - UPDATE @ bottom
Well after a good ultrasound last Friday where we got to see the baby at 6 weeks and hear the heartbeat, today Ive had some spotting. I called the doctor's office and the doctor, not my normal ob, wants me to monitor the bleeding and call if it gets heavy or I have cramping.
I only had the spotting this afternoon - I wiped three times and it was there the first two wipes. It was red and part of the mucus (not streaks). I havent since. My other concern is that for the last couple weeks Ive been exhausted - barely able to keep my eyes open - but yesterday and today I havent been. Ive not really been tired at all. I havent really had any other pregnancy symptoms to compare.
This is my 5th pregnancy. In 2007 I had a miscarriage - spotting at 6 weeks followed with normal ultrasound (heartbeat too) normal appt at 8 weeks, no heartbeat at 12 - baby was only 8 weeks. In 2009 I had an ectopic and lost my right tube. In 2011 I had a beautiful baby girl. In January I had a blighted ovum followed by a d&c in February at 10 weeks.
With all the troubles Ive had Im so upset the dr wouldnt bring me in to either give me peace of mind or a definitive answer. Instead he wants me to wait a week until my next appt.
Im so upset. I dont get to be excited about being pregnant because Im always waiting for the bad news. I.know how blessed I am to have my daughter, but Im so tired of failed pregnancies.
Thanks for listening.

Try to stay calm and just take a day at a time. I know its very hard. It took a lot strength and energy from me to keep my cool, but its possible. I'll keep you in my prayers
I had spotting with my first miscarriage and with my daughter, but it was just a little bit. With my most recent mc I already knew it was a blighted ovum before I started spotting.
Doctor has started me on progesterone and I have a follow up next Wednesday.
I am still spotting. In fact, tonight I had bright red colored mucus.
Does anyone have experience with taking progesterone early in pregnancy? Ive never gone this route. He hasnt checked my progesterone either so we dont even know if this is the problem.
Hope this works.
