What Causes Brown And Pink Vaginal Spotting During Pregnancy?

I am approximately 5 weeks 4 days pregnant and started spotting brown and pale pink last night. The spotting is very light and I have no cramping. I have had two miscarriages and two live births. I am scared I will miscarry this time. However, my previous miscarriages involved bright red blood and happened quickly. What should I do since today is Saturday and I haven t seen a dr yet in this pregnancy? Additional details-I am diagnosed with GAD and depression and my psychiatrist took me off my mood stabilizer and Xanax this week. I am having lots of effects from stopping the two meds.

If it is brown discharge, you have to immediately get confirmed that the embryo is not damaged. This can be confirmed bu ultrasonography. Usually the brown discharge suggests that the embryo has already been jeopardized.
