Spotting on and off since implantation: now spotting is brown in colour. SHould I call the Dr AGAIN?

Question

I feel like all I do is worry! I had an u/s at 6weeks because of spotting, and twins were found. One was a week behind in growth. Continued to spot on and off, but was given prometrium supositories to help control it. At 8w 5d the smaller of the two arrested and showed only to be 7 weeks. The larger was fine. Four days later there was more spotting, more than before. Cramping started the next day. Went to the ER. Cervix was tight, u/s was fine, the smaller of the two was all but gone. Two days later a considerable amount of bright red blood with a clot (also bright red) about 3inches in diameter (but flat). Bled for two hours. I went to the ER for the 2nd time in 2 days. Another internal exam, another confirmation that my cervix was fine. They did not do an u/s because one had been done so recently. Was told to not worry about the bleeding unless it is worse. Now it is brown and has been going on for four days. I guess I am worried because this is different.....sigh

Answer 1

All you can do really is go back to the doctor and insist on an ultrasound. Make sure you see an ob doctor, ER doctors aren't specialists in pregnancies especially for multiples. Spotting is normal as long as it isn't heavier than a period. As for the twins, it isn't uncommon for them to be different sizes, google twin-twin syndrome.

I don't want to worry you too much but it is possible to miscarry one twin and not the other, please go see a doctor as soon as possible.

Answer 2

It doesn't hurt to call the Doctor. If the smaller of the twins is now gone then you may have miscarried which would have been the bright red blood and the clot.
While most women do NOT have a monthly during pregnancy some women do and if its darker in color then that my possibly be what you are having. I would personally worry more if it was bright red. Depending on where you live you might want to see if there is a number for ask a nurse and call them if you don't want to call the doctor.
You have to know how your body is feeling during the bleeding, is it painful, abnormal, or cramping not like you have had before. Be aware of your body and your feelings.
If you have had a miscarriage of one of the baby's it might just be old blood from that. I am not a doctor but I have miscarried a child and I have also been the one who has had monthlies during all 4 of my pregnancy's.
Good Luck and hope that the road gets better for you.

First, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just had twins in January, and I had lots of bleeding/spotting, throughout the first 12 weeks. I was told that MOST with multiples will bleed/spot, especially if it was via IVF. If the bleeding is now brown, it's probably just from the loss. Watch for red blood and cramping--that's when you need to get to the dr. Try not to worry. I know it's hard, especially after what you've been through. Hang in there and try to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
