Its like dark/light brown, with a lil yellow, and it stains my panties just like blood does .... When it "comes out" it feels like I have started my period but when I go and check that is what I see , is this spotting, and what does it mean?

When I miscarried the last 2 times it was reddish with bad cramping-but I would go to a doc just in case. If you are preggy that is.

Sounds like spotting to me. Could be just a b/c pill thing. If u've taken em at diff times and stuff. I get spotting every few months for no reason I am aware of. Stress maybe. I don't know. Anyway, yesterday we were wondering where u were. Glad to see ur back!

Spotting is old blood that come out when the baby settles.

I have never it when I was pregnant with rudy. But with this lil man, I had it 3 times and it was only when I wiped. It was brownish/dark red. No cramping though.

Hi! I was wondering if someone could help me.
Confused.. I have bright red spotting not heavyfor 3 days, and sore breasts and light cramping for two weeks.
Could this be pregancy or miscarrage?
I shouldn't start my period until the 2 sundays.

Freaking Out!
Ok, I typed some stuff yesturday about my breasts sore and light spotting, but today it's crazy!
I woke up in the night with pretty sore breasts and bright red spotting.
Spotting enough that I needed a tampon today.
I have been sooo tired the last 1 1/2 weeks and waking up at least 2 times in the night to pee. Sore breast have been for 2 weeks and bright red spotting has been for almost 4 days. But today I needed a tampon. I have the wierdest food cravings too. Very salty. Do I need to drink more water?
My period shold come on the 13th, and last month I was 3 days late but still got it.
Any replys? I know everyone's bodies are diff, can some one tell me what sort of symptoms there are?
I have an appt, with doc on thursday, but want to cut stress of wondering until then... What are your thoughts? I'd like to be more sure if I am or not preg, before going...
Could it be miscarrage because of bright red blood?
(p.S. My boobs actually feel allitle more firm and seem alittle larger when I put my bra on....)
