Brown spotting at 5 weeks pregnant

Hello. I am 5 weeks pregnant today and woke up to brown spots on my panties. I am a PCOS patient. No cramping and no brown spots when I wipe. Should I call my obgyn ? I am seeing her next week too.

Greetings, thank you for your question.

The answer is a general description of the problem you’re having. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with us.

Based on the above information, we understand your concern about the problem you’re having. Since you are pregnant, early gestation of pregnancy (<22 weeks) which occurs in the form of little brown spotting can occur due to various things. These are not serious problems such as:

  • As a result of implantation
  • Physiological bleeding of the uterus due to enlargement of the content.
  • Post-intercourse
  • After the Pap smear test
  • After a pelvic test.

However, if more bleeding or has accompanying meat-like substance bleeding occurs in the early pregnancy, it may be due to more serious problems such as:

  • Infectious infections
  • Lost early pregnancy
  • Ectopic pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey into motherhood. Make sure you get enough nutrients for you and your baby.

Even if you have small or heavy bleeding, you should consult your doctor over this matter. Talk to your doctor and get guidance on the treatment that works for your condition.

Speak to an obstetrician for a healthy and worry-free pregnancy.
