What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy?

Hello, I am currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I went in before I knew I was pregnant for a ultra sound for painful sex. They didn t see anything wrong, but a thick endometrium. She said I could be early in pregnancy. I took a test, and was 4 weeks at the time. So now, I am 6 weeks and 5 days. I have slight cramping on both sides, and a light brownish/pinkish discharge when I wipe or in my underwear. It s not a lot, but still alarming. I have had chlamydia in the past, so I am very worried about an ectopic pregnancy. I know I am at a higher risk. I have my 8 week ultra sound coming up, but I will be traveling for business next week (week 7) and worried something will happen - like a tube rupture - and I ll be alone in a hotel room. Are my signs and symptoms signs of an ectopic pregnancy? I press on my lower abdomen and I don t feel any pain. The only pain I have is slight cramps, a little discharge (light brown/pink), loose stools (not really diarrhea), and nausea. Should I call my doctor tomorrow, and have them check me out before I go on a business trip?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

You should definitely follow up with your doctor/ urgent care before going on the business trip.The possibility of ectopic pregnancy or early miscarriage needs to be ruled out.
Measurement of blood HCG levels and transvaginal USG is warranted at this point.

Hope this answers your question
