A GF of mine has what seems to be implantation spotting every time she has a bowel movement. She is nearly 5 weeks along and everything else seems to be fine. Did any of you have this when pregnant? She is very concerned because she has had several miscarriages and this is new to her.
Thank you for your help!
Yes, she is constipated and had tenderness on her left ovary side all day yesterday that seems to be gone today. She has an appointment with the dr next Friday, but is freaking out...
It's been so long since I had my daughter and I didn't have this with her. So I don't know what to tell her.
For those of you have reviewed this question.... The slight brown spotting is absolutely fine. She is now 5.5 weeks along and there is a little yolk sac in her uterus. Everything looks good according to her physician.
That would make me nervous too. I've never had that. But I do know women who do things like that, and it's totally fine. With her history of miscarriage, I can't imagine the stress she's feeling!
Is she taking anything for the constipation? If not, I'd highly suggest Benefiber. She can put a TBSP in her drink at every meal and it'll help regulate her. I have to do that while prego. I hope things go well!

Is there any possible way that it could be from hemmeroids? I know its a yucky topic but if she is seeing spotting everytime she has a bowel movement and not just a pee and she is constipated she could very well be pushing while trying to go to the bathroom and causing some bleeding from that. From what I know if you even see implantation bleeding it usually occurs 9 to 14 days after conception so 5 weeks is pretty far past that point and Im pretty sure its only when you pee and you dont really expect to see it more than once maybe twice
Good Luck to you and your friend
If she is super constipated. Maybe she could call the Dr. and ask if she could take some miralax or at least stool softener to help the problem. I have severe constipation with my pregnancy and got the ok from the Dr. to take miralax (I was like 10-12 weeksish..) and it changed my world! anyway, it would be worth asking and seeing if that fixed the problem.
I had this with my last...no issues other then that...only when I had a bowel movement. is she constipated. More common with constipation...
