10 weeks and spotting? Ghost? Anyone?

Post by lukesmom »

I am currently 10 weeks pregnant. This morning when I got up and went to the bathroom and had a little spotting (brownish pink). My DH and I had intercourse yesterday. Could this be the reason for the spotting? It scares me to death to think of losing this baby. Anyone else experience this?

There was a nurse who posted here about a month ago that such spotting of "brown blood" is very common in early pregnancy and not particularly alarming.

Keep your clinic informed, of course.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

It is probably nothing to be concerned about. could be due to intercourse. If it does not subside in a day or two call your doctor. It will ease your mind to go have an U/S and see that everything is fine.
Hugs to you.

Don't worry I had this also, if it just goes away your fine but if it's
followed by severe cramping and more thick and red blood then
go to the hospital..so I was told. Good luck.

I can pretty much guess it was from intercourse. Your cervix is very soft and full of blood. Any manipulation can cause some bleeding. And since it stopped, I would bet that's what caused it.
I am an infertility nurse and I work in a major IVF facility. I am willing to answer questions and give guidance, however, since I am not treating you, only your physician can give you the most accurate information.
