I was told that any bleeding should be reported to a doctor. Having said that, I spotted brown at 6 weeks for about 3 weeks - I'm 12 weeks now and all is fine. They told me brown blood is old blood, so I shouldn't be worried. They said red blood should be checked out, more so if you are filling a pad. When my spotting picked up, I went to the ER (since I couldn't get into my OB). They checked that my cervix was closed and my hcg was ok. They also did an ultrasound to make sure baby was ok (just a warning about having an ultrasound so early - they can barely see anything so it usually causes more worry than help). They guessed my spotting was from my fibroid. Other causes of spotting include: sex (if you had any within the last few days) and something to do with hormones, so if you were expecting your period tonight, it could be that. There are others, but I don't remember. Can you call your doctor's office? It is most likely nothing, but for peace of mind, it should be checked out. Please let us know how it goes and congratulations!
