Spotting – 5 Weeks

Spotting - 5 Weeks

Let me start this post with a big TMI and GROSS warning.

I started spotting around 3pm today (Friday). Its not really enough to fill a panty liner and it is a very dark brown. EVERYTHING I’ve read online says not to stress about this. It is probably just old blood. I had one bad clot but could be from my Prometrium mixed in with old blood? 

I have no idea but its stressful. We have an appointment on Monday morning for a lab and confirm. I am taking this weekend to be peaceful and hopeful!

We went to our appointment and everything is fine. My nurse gave me her personal cell number and told me this is very, very common in the first few weeks!

10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
