Spotting during first trimester?

Hey y’all!
I’m currently almost 9 weeks pregnant and have been spotting light or dark brown for the past week. I notice it when I pee and wipe almost every single time.
I sent a note to my doctor’s office the other day and they said it’s very normal in early pregnancy, but to reach out if it turns bright red or is accompanied by period like cramps.
Of course I’m over here worrying to death because I don’t remember this happening with either of my other two pregnancies.
Has anyone else experienced a prolonged period of time for spotting?

I’m 7 weeks going on 8 and since 4 weeks i get both cramping and i get light spotting atleast 2-3 times a week, the cramping like 3-4 times a week. I was told the same thing if it’s not a lot of blood not to worry and to even not worry about the cramping unless it’s constant sharp pains, mines come and go and it can just be from my uterus growing or something like that, my first ultrasound is today and i’m hoping everything is well i’m kind of in the same boat with worry girl 🙏 but i talked to some friends and heard that some experienced the same and that we should be fine :)

That happened to me. I am 9weeks pregnant. I had some spotting during my 5-7 weeks . I was concerned as well but it stopped eventually. Just part of your body adjusting to it. As long it is not bright red and heavy bleeding. Mine stopped around 8 weeks
