What Causes Spotting During Early Pregnancy?

I had an ectooic pregnancy 12/18/15. Had a salpingectomy and my recovery was great. Currently my period is 5 days late i got a positive on a pregnancy test 4 times since a day before my period was due. My doctor won t see me until I m 8 weeks that s almost 3 weeks from now. I started spotting 2 days ago very light. Usually only noticeable when I wipe and I currently have no pain... Should I be worried

Hello, and i hope I can help you today.

Anyone with a history of an ectopic pregnancy has about a 20 percent chance of developing another one, even if the tube was removed. So I strongly recommend if you develop any pain, especially if it is on one side, that you go to an emergency room for an ultrasound and a HCG hormone level. Spotting in early pregnancy is very common and normal, but please do not hesitate to seek medical care if you have any abnormal symptoms.

I hope i was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,

Dr. Brown
