Started spotting yesterday - need P&PT

I am just so upset. Sorry in advance for TMI, but yesterday morning, DH and had sex, and afterwards, my CM was pink when I wiped. It wasn't like I was actively bleeding, and I didn't need a pad or even a panty liner for that matter, but there it was - 2x when I wiped yesterday. I was so upset, and then it seemed to be gone today, but around 3pm this afternoon, I had more pink CM when I wiped. I called the dr office and told them what was going on, and they got a message to my doctor, and she said that what I was describing was not an indicator of an issue, but to call back if the spotting became red and/or more of it, or if I had any bad cramping. I had my HCG levels checked last week and they were doubling. I was so excited after that, and now I'm just devastated. Why can't I just have a normal uneventful pregnancy? I just have this horrible feeling that this is the beginning of the end. I want this baby so bad, and I just don't know how I can go through another miscarriage :( Please send P&PT and SBV's my way. Thanks in advance.

I'm so sorry you're scared Lisa. Sending lots P&PT to you. I have read many, many posts on this board from women who spotted after having sex. And they went on to have completely successful pregancies! I think the spotting is common and normal. I know it's so hard to see that on the TP though. Try to think positive- it's a really great sign that your levels are doubling!

Hey Lisa -


First of all, I'm so sorry you're scared. It's just not fair that we can't enjoy being pregnant right now. Secondly, I spotted the morning after DH and I had sex for the first time after we got a BFP. I can't tell you that everything's fine yet, but that was a couple of weeks ago and my #s were doubling afterwards, so it was OK then. And I didn't spot the 2nd time.


Big hugs and I'm sure you're fine!

Hi Lisa
So sorry you are having to experience this. My issue wasn't sex related, but I got a BFP on a Friday and Monday went to have my blood drawn to check the levels. As soon as I stepped into the dr's office I felt a gush. I went to the bathroom and bled into the toilet (tmi sorry). It was so much that I thought I was starting my period and that it was already over. I went week after week and my numbers continued to double. I am now almost 23 weeks pregnant and all seems to be going fine. Try not to worry, easier said than done I know. Sex can irritate the cervix during pregnancy and may cause some spotting occasionally. I am sure you are just fine. Hang in there, will be thinking of you.

Lisa, I'm so sorry that you're having such a scare. I went through the same thing. Lots of spotitng for about 7 weeks. I bawled (in a hotel in Paris) thinking that I was going to lose this baby as well. But I didn't. So try to hold on to hope that all will be fine. It REALLY can mean nothing re: the baby. My 5 month old squirming next to me is proof. Let me know if you want to talk. Hugs, and lots of SBVs and P&PT. KUP.

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry you're having this scare right now, but it is REALLY common to spot after intercourse when you're pg.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just go through our pg's calmly without worry about every little symptom, lack of symptom, spot, etc.... I'm so sorry you're going through this stress. Sex can definitely irritate the cervix. As a matter of fact, the nurse at the RE's office whispered to me that she suggested we do not have sex for a few weeks, until we're 'sure everything is in there good and strong.' She said this is not because there's a real danger, but she knows about my history and knows how paranoid I really am. She said that it most likely would cause some bleeding and neither dh nor I need that stress right now. So the bottom line is that this is very common. Try to take a deep breath. KUP
