I just finally got a real bfp on sunday!!!! I started to spot light this

morning.It was there only when you wipe and now later today I think its

gone.I was going to go in for a blood test today.Dr said to maybe wait

a couple a days to see if bleeding continues.I am 21dpo.I just don't know

what to think.I hope I am not m/c.I am scared!!!!! Has anybody else ever

had this.I know some people get af during there pregnancy.I just hope everything

is ok.My BB have been sore now for 2 weeks!!!! Any advice would be great.How

many weeks is it when they say your risk of a m/c drop???? I just pray everything

will be ok.

Stephanie,

First, congrats on your BFP!

When I was pregnant with my first, I spotted a very little bit (about as much as you're describing) 6 days after I had a BFP (and 4 days after a + test from the doctor). My doc had me come in for a follow up test, and my progesterone had dropped from a 21 the week before to a 15 (which is borderline for being OK). As a result, he put me on progesterone supplements for my entire first trimester (until I was 14 weeks). If I were you, I'd probably push my doctor to take a blood test to test your chemical levels, just in case.

HTH!

It can't hurt to go in tomorrow, can it? I'd probably go in, even if the spotting doesn't return (my spotting was on a Saturday only, I got my blood test on Tuesday and started on progesterone on Wednesday -- so even if you don't have any more spotting, you could still have a problem) to get some peace of mind.

Keep me posted!
