I have good and bad i have had a blighted ovum before and i spotted brown and had good hcg levels i have also had a pregnancy where they thought it may be a blighted ovum for weeks of sono and finally a baby with heart beat. i was about 6 weeks. Please don't worry. Let that baby grow what is meant to be will be weither you sit up all night worring. Alot of people I have talked to have had brown spotting at the first of their pregnancy. My mom had a light period through one of her pregnancy.

Just take your vitanms and be happy :) lori
