7 Weeks Pregnant with Brown Discharge

i can see where you might be wondering if this is a miscarriage, i've had 3 of my own and can honestly tell you that your key factors to look for with a miscarriage are bright red blood, and horrendous cramping. with my last miscarriage, a symptom i didnt know about until i thought about it afterwards was a week prior my pregnancy symptoms disappeared- sensitivity to smells, nausea, fatigue... etc. waiting 24 hours to take the antibiotc until you talk to your OBGYN isnt going to do anything, and the piece of mind is comforting. because you're pregnant your immune system is compromised which makes it harder than before to fight off even simple infections- so be sure that when/if your dr gives you antibiotics that you should take them. it's best to nip this in the butt before it gets painful. i know normally women take monostat or something of the sort for yeast infections, but those arent recommended during pregnancy. another factor is- this is about the time you'd normally be getting your period had you not be pregnant, so alot of times you can have brown discharge, or even spotting. i suggest getting the book What to Expect When You're Expecting... the basic rundown of the book tells you that what you experience in your pregnancy is totally normal and unique to you and your pregnancy.

Not sure about the meds, but brown discharge is usually "old" blood and nothing to worry about. I had it with my 2nd, right around 7 weeks if I remember right. As far as an exam, I'm not sure what they would of done to exam you. Really the only thing that can be done is an ultrasound and/or blood draw to check your hormone levels.
I'm curious though...when you say you went to Urgent Care and that they didn't examine you or do any tests, what did they do? They had to of done something...or am I missing something? If they didn't examine you, how do they know you have a yeast infection?

Bottom line, try not to worry tonight...I know, easier said than done! Call your OB first thing tomorrow and let them know what's going on. Wishing you all the best!

I would not take anything until you see your doctor. Then I would google the med with pregnancy complications.I would also talk to your pharmacist.
I took a antibiotic and my daughter has eye issues. I knew the eyes where developing at that time, to this day I always wonder if it was because of the antibiotic I took. Don't eat sugar, yeast loves sugar!! Good luck

definately use the meds for the uti. I took these when I was preg for a sinus infection it will be fine. get to the ob asap. they should have examined you.

Definitely follow up with your ob first thing. The amoxicillian is safe to take when you are pregnant, and it definitly could result in a yeast infection, but Im not sure that brown discharge is a sign of that. Do you have other symptoms of a yeast infection as well? Brown discharge is usually old blood being expelled, it could have been left over from the egg borrowing into your uterus. Are you just spotting or are you having a flow that you would need to use a pad for? I have lots of experience with early pregnancy bleeding... I bled with all of my pregnancies. I also used monistat externally for a yeast infection when I was pregnant and it was fine, but I am not sure about using something internal. It is does happen that doctors that are not OB's might not have sufficient knowledge of what is safe for a pregnant woman. Call your OB in the morning to be safe and make sure you share all the symptoms you are experiencing... until then try to take it easy and stay off your feet.

It could just be some old blood. I had that with all of my kids and they are all fine :) Do talk to your dr though, that is always the best course of action.

Good luck!

Did you make sure that amoxicillian is okay to take since you are pregnant? There are so many medications that are not recommended during a pregancy (I can't remember which ones). I had some spotting when I was in my first trimester and panicked - but we did several ultrasounds and all was well. Just go see your OB and check w/ him on the medications. I went to my family Dr once for another issue on my face and he knew I was pregnant. The medicines that he prescribed were not recommended by my OB.
