Just Venting : So , I am 5W4D pregnant from our fifth FET. Started spotting like light brown since yesterday and also been cramping back pain and lower abdomen. I am also feeling wet down there looks like more discharge. Called my RE and he asked me to rest with my legs elevated. I am worried now though doctor assured it’s all okay unless I am bleeding .

Also… unless its bright red… like what you see with your period, you should be ok.

Went through the same! Brown spotting for about 4 days with cramps. Doctor didn’t seem worried she just scheduled an ultrasound a bit earlier to check everything. All was fine, the tech mentioned that if it’s brown it’s old blood and not to stress it.

When did you have your first ultrasound ?? I asked for earlier appointment but the doctor is only doing it at 6w5D

Sending positive vibes and energy. Don’t borrow trouble. Could be your placenta setting and anything/everything to do with symptoms of early pregnancy. Cramping and back pain and lower abdomen pain happen often early in and all throughout pregnancy. Just wait for the round ligament pain and Braxton hicks to start too. These things add up. It’s ok. Positive thoughts and rest. Sending hugs.

Subchorionic hematomas are more common with IVF pregnancies for unknown reasons. It sounds like that though cramping is more concerning. I hope you get an answer soon ❤️

Oh yeah if it’s not period cramps it very well could be just normal early pregnancy discomfort. I hope it’s an SCH and hope it resolves.

I’m 6 weeks 1 day and had similar cramps. My cramps were lower than period cramps, totally normal at the stage you’re in now. Sending positive vibes!
