I saw a brownish, dirt like discharge when i wiped myself this afternoon. Nothing after that. I am so afraid. I hope i am not losing my baby. I had the baseline HCG test 2 days ago. The doctor said the levels were pretty low, but not to worry and I went and gave a blood sample again. I will know the results only tomorrow. Is there anything I can do to make sure things dont get worse? I am now resting and dont plan to get out of bed for the rest of the evening.

SS,

Brown blood means it is old blood- and often times this can be common in early pregnancy. I hope everything is good with you and the baby. I reccomend relaxing and taking it easy- and it sounds like that is your plan :)

Good luck!

Thanks Lisa. I did not see anything else in the evening. I really hope I get through the night ok. The doctor called - the hcg count didnt exactly double but got very close. It is now 80. What do you think?

I have no idea about HCG numbers I'm sorry.

I think that as long as they double (or are really close to doubling) things should be fine. If you have not seen anymore brown blood I am guessing it was just old blood being shed from your uterus as the baby starts growing and taking up a bit more space. Good luck sweetie! Keep me posted!
