Yes: Although bleeding in early pregnancy is relatively common and often benign, it is essential that you see a doctor ASAP. You need to know your blood type, HCG and progesterone levels. Your doc will use that information to determine how the pregnancy is progressing and whether or not you should worry.

Well: Well not necessarily abnormal to spot the clots are more concerning. Best to get in to see your doctor and have some blood work done

My lmp was 7/25/15. I had a positive hpt on 8/16 and positive blood test on 8/17. Today I woke up and had red spotting with a couple clots. Went to the ER and they said I had a uti and my beta hcg was 200. I haven't had any cramps, but my back has ached.

Severe cramps w/bright red spotting & tested 2 positive HPTs before my period. Got my period a day late & it is a normal flow. What does this mean?

I'm spotting at 13 weeks and it goes from a bright red to a light brown/tannish color but no cramping or clotting what does that mean?

Period started on the day it should have, red period started but I'm having brown blood with small brown clots as well. I also have cramping, is this a sign of pregnancy? I took an at home pregnancy test which was negative.
