I've been trying to conceive for 4 years, and after my third IUI I finally got a positive home preganancy test. (2 home test) yesturday and this morning) This afternoon I started to get mild cramps like I was going to start my cycle. When I went to the bathroom, I had dark brown spots in my panties, and a lighter red when I wiped. It's not really bad, but I'm very worried. Is this normal?

Yes it is normal. Don't stress. If it gets any worse, go to a doctor as soon as possible. But unless you get really unbearable pain and bleeding with clots in it, you are okay :)
Congratulations!

It is normal with some people to get a little spotting, especially around the time that you would normally have a period. But just in case, it would be a good idea if you take pelvic rest(no sex, tampons, creams, ect. for 2 weeks) and try to keep you feet elevated(higher than you pelvis). And if the spotting does not stop then you should call your doctor right away, especially if it becomes brighter red...I lost my baby about 3 weeks ago, so please dont take spotting lightly....I wish you the best of luck! :)

You would need to seek medical attention as to dark spotting really is not a big cause for panic yet the light red is a sign of new blood. I have experienced two miscarriages and one premature birth (18 weeks). No blood show is good blood show. it's always better to be safe than sorry. Hope this helps.

Bleeding is not normal, but can happen. I bled with my first. She will be 10 on Saturday and is perfect.
Bleeding can also signal a miscarriage. I would call your OB's afterhours number and ask them.
Sit down, put your feet up, get a glass of juice or water and call the doctor.

No-bleeding is not normal but I too bled early on with both of my pregnancies and they turned out fine.I also bled like that with my 1st pregnancy and ended up having a miscarriage.You need to make an appointment to see your OB so they can do blood tests to see if your pregnancy hormones are going up.Good Luck!

It could be implantation bleding but take it easy-rest as much as possible and see what happens-alot of healthy pregnancies had some type of light to moderate bleeding. If you start to cramp and bleed heavily go to the DR.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it doesn't sound good. I would suggest that you go to the hopital and get checked out. they will check your HCG level and then probably ask you to come back 3 days later and recheck them. if they are going up then YEAH!! if not then not so good. The only reason I say this is because dark blood is not good.
Sorry for this info but if I am wrong then CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Get to the docs. You could possibly be getting ready to have a miscarriage! Don't wait, go now. I went through this, and that is what happened to me.
