Does Vaginal Spotting During Early Pregnancy Indicate Miscarriage?
brown spotting friday with discharge, and saturday as well. well for the past 4 hours i have had pink to red spotting. But saturday i confirmed a positive pregnancy test and with my lamp calculations is i will be 4 weeks tomorrow. Is this starting of a miscarriage?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... In early pregnancy, spotting and light bleeding is often harmless. It usually happens at about the same time that your period would have been due, and may last for a day or two. You may only notice it after you have been to the toilet and wiped. Unfortunately, heavy bleeding in early pregnancy can be a sign of a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. Early miscarriage usually happens when a baby is not developing properly, and the bleeding becomes steadily heavier. An ectopic pregnancy happens when the fertilized egg implants outside of your uterus. An ectopic pregnancy must be removed quickly.
So you should visit a gynecologist for consultation & she would confirm it by taking an ultrasound. Also hormone therapy may be required.
Don't worry you would be fine Hoping your query is solved
