I had an ectopic pregnancy in Sept 2020 where I had to have my right tube removed. It’s been a real road to recovery but end of 2020 I found out I am pregnant and today I’m 5w5d.
I’ve been seen by EPU a few times due to some cramping and have had 2 internal scans (one showed yolk sac but no embryo) and several bloods which have all looked ok but Ive also been having light brown/pink spotting since basically when I found out I was pregnant. I’ve also had mild cramps this whole time. It’s not actual bleeding and I’ve mentioned it to the Drs I’ve seen that think it’s normal but I was wondering how long implantation bleeding can go on for?
I have another scan this Friday which will take me up to 6 weeks to hopefully confirm a heartbeat and I’ll be mentioning it then but wondering if anyone else has had the same?
Unfortunately I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your symptoms. We do hear from women who spot in early pregnancy and go on to have a healthy pregnancy. It is positive that a yolk sac was viewed in the uterus and it could be that the scan was just too early to show anything else yet.
Sadly I do have to remind you to seek urgent medical advice if the bleeding worsens or you develop abdominal pain or feel dizzy and unwell.
Sending much love and positive thoughts for Friday,
