Anyone experience this? Six days of brown spotting, dr. testing progesterone

I called my doctor after I noticed brown spotting, and she said as long as it was brown, it was probably old blood and nothing to worry about. Today, five days later, I called my doctor to let her know the brown spotting hasn't stopped, but its still very light. So, they had me come in this afternoon for a blood draw to test my progesterone, and said I will have the results tomorrow.

I still have all my pregnancy symptoms (I've been very nauseus, sore boobs, etc) and a pregnancy test (pee stick) today still came out positive.

 I realize worrying won't help, but am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and what the outcome was? Any positive thoughts are also welcome, and I'm happy to send the same your way. :)

 Thanks!

I had brown spotting for 4 days around week 5 or 6 of my last pregnancy and had a healthy baby.

I have spotted on and off pink and brown since the expected day of my last period 1215. I am 6 weeks and 5 days today. I have/had a subchorionic hemorrhage, which explains all off the bleeding for me. It is shrinking but I am still passing the blood. Trust me I know it is very nerve racking and hard not to worry. I miscarried last year at 12 weeks, so that's all I think about. Keep your head up! Ill say a prayer for you and hope all is well!! Is it enough to have to wear a pad or panty liner or just when you wipe?

I've been spotting continuously since a few days past ovulation, so over four weeks straight now. My doctor said unless you have heavy period-like flow accompanied by painful cramping it's not a concern, in fact spotting in early pregnancy is quite normal.

Thank you - for sharing your experience, understanding and for the positive thoughts! <3

I've been wearing a thin pantiliner each day just so it doesn't stain my clothes, but its quite light and doesn't soak it.

It's probably nothing! I spotted brown to bright red everyday from 6w til 12 weeks with DD. I went on to have a perfectly normal, complication-free pregnancy and labor/delivery. Just watch for heavier bleeding. Hope everything turns out okay!

Yes, I had several episodes of spotting around week 78. My doctor did the same thing as yours did bloodwork testing my progesterone and HCG. Everything came back beautiful HCG was actually through the roof but I was still worried. They bumped up my first appointment by a few days and I was able to see baby and their hb on u/s. my doctor said many things can cause it and not to worry. Just drink plenty of water and call if it become bright red.

With DS I spotted brown/pink for several weeks early on and had no complications.
