I'm 5 weeks pregnant and had a little bit of bleeding when i went to the bathroom. more than spotting but not bright red or continual. why&what to do?

Bleeding common: Bleeding at any point after ovulation and during the first trimester of pregnancy is very non specific and does not really point to any diagnosis. In our patients, 65% had bleeding early in pregnancy with a low miscarriage rate. We encourage patients not to worry about these intermittent bleeds. If pregnant, an ultrasound can help sort out the situation. Call your doctor good luck.
