What Causes Spotting During Pregnancy?

Greetings Doctor, I would like to first of all thank you for the selfless work you are doing for people online. My name is Favy and I am 26 years of age. My last period was on February 19 and I run 28 days circle though not regular sometimes. I was expecting my period starting from March 19 but missed it. I did a blood text on March 23 and it turned positive. I have spotted lightly for about 5 times between the week I did the test till this morning when I wiped and saw a very pinkish stain but light. Meanwhile I did an ultrasound on March 29 (that s 6 days after I did blood test) which in my own calculation I was about 5weeks and 2 days or so and the result showed the following: OBSTETRIC SCAN UTERUS: * An anteverted and normal size uterus * The endometrium is thickened (13.9mm) ? early gestational changes. * The cavity is empty *The retained products of conception * No fibroids uteri OVARIES: *Are normal in size and stromal echoes * Visible primordial follicles are noted * No ovarian cyst ADNEXA: * Bilaterally free * The salpinges show nothing remarkable * Nothing in the pouch of Douglas SUMMARY: * Thickened endometrium * ? early gestational changes * Advice serum PT This is my very first pregnancy and my husband and I really do not know anything concerning pregnancy. We have had a couple of calls to a few Gynos concerning the spotting and the thickened endometrium with no sign of sac and we have not gotten a clear answer. It was the last among them that gave us hope when he said we should repeat the ultrasound in two weeks. I stumbled on your name when I read one of your heart lifting recommendations to someone and so was led to contact you. Pls Doctor I humbly wish to appeal for your explanations and recommendations as regards my case. I do need the pregnancy ma. Thanks so much in advance. More details about the presenting complaint: Early morning spotting experienced in the morning after urinating and wiping. Spotting is always light and not heavy Urinates frequently Current medications: Progesterone injection and folic acid P.S LAST ULTRASOUND SCAN I DID WAS YESTERDAY 9TH APRIL AND THE ENDOMETRIUM IS STILL EMPTY. Before running the scan I had a slight brownish discharge with no clots or heavy flow. Thank you ahead for your support!
