Pregnancy Spotting

What exactly is spotting during pregnancy?
I know it is blood. But how much> Is it like a few days with a little bit or is it like a very light period or what is it and when do most pregnant women get that during how many days or weeks into the pregnancy??

I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and have some brown spotting and very rarely it is very light in color almost pinkish. It doesnt happen everyday, but enough for me to wonder if it’s normal. I know it’s not implantation bleeding, but has anyone experienced this and had a normal pregnancy?

I have taken 2 hpts, both negative. If I am pregnant, I would be 5 1/2 weeks along. I started cramping 2 days ago, 1st day was a very light bleed (light pink/brown) and today I had more severe cramps (I had to take some pain pills) and bled a bit more. I filled 1 1/2 super tampons today and the blood was a lot darker with tissue. My cramps pretty much stopped completely a few hours ago.

Is this typical of spotting? Or is this more likely a light period?

When me and my boyfriend were done having sex i had very light spotting. I paniced and went to the doc. He couldnt really tell me anything so iv been searching the internet to find some answers. Im very early into my pregnancy and just found out about a month ago. It was very light and short only lasted an hour. Is this normal or did i lose my baby?

yes i wanna take a test because i was told you could be pg while on your period an sometimes spotting occurs and well i think i have had spotting bcuz its less than my normal period and its just not the same.. my question was can you take a pregnancy test while spotting..?? and which pg test is the best and most accurate? i appreciate all answers,,,… THANKS IN ADVANCE!

. . .and how much did you have, what was it like???
I dont think mine is pregnancy spotting, i actually do feel pretty certain im coming on, im the same as always before my period.
Since taking Clomid i spot for couple days or so before hand.
Mainly if i check when having a bath/wash i notice it then( sorry if tmi!).
But women can get this in early pregnancy and I wondered how common it is and what your experiences of it were?
Thanks

I am 11 soon to be 12 weeks pregnant. Last night I started spotting and it has continued on to today. It is very light pinkish brown. Is this normal? Should I go to the emergency room and get it checked out or wait for my appointment in 3 days?

Okay, so my period was due on the 15th of October, and last night and today all i’ve gotten was very light brown spotting. I haven’t even had the usual pms symptoms (chocolate cravings and cramps.) My periods are usually very regular on time and same symptoms each time. When I tested yesterday morning I got a BFN. Has anyone ever started a pregnancy with brown spotting when their period was due, or does this just sound like the start of an odd period?
