Since you mention it increases with bowel movement i would guess that it's old blood from the bowel movt. I sometimes get blood with a bowel mvt but it's from "back there". In particular if i haven't been able to go for a while. I have noticed that i am quite swollen down there so it makes sense i'd be a bit more supseptible to a bleed with all the extra blood flow.
I had a missed m/c in 06, my brown discharge stayed fairly light for several days until dh & i dtd and it finally turned red. I am guessing that your probably taking things easy (which is what i was told to do) but i must admit i was kinda glad when it turned red, not because it was a m/c cause that made me very sad but because the waiting around for something to happen was hearbreaking. I intially felt guilty about dtd but when i found out that i'd m/c 5wks earlier i realised that nothing would have changed the outcome of that preg.
I hope everything turns out on thurs and the wait isn't too bad.

babyjubz - firstly sending you big big and crossing my fingers that everything will be fine for you.
Like you, I'd had a missed m/c at about 10.5 weeks. With the following pregnancy I had about 4 weeks of spotting (anything from brown through to pink & red) and then a BIG BRIGHT RED BLEED. I was petrified, assuming the worst. And guess what?? Bubba was absolutely fine! I had about a gazillion scans as I'm sure you would understand, and the baby was always fine. We figured (in retrospect) that he was just a drama queen! So it just goes to show that bleeding or spotting doesn't necessarily mean that things won't work out. It's always worth checking things out for peace of mind, oh and I'm with you on the bowel motions too - very common in pregnancy. The fact you've got no pain is a great sign too (given the niggles & twinges that can occur in early PG!). So I'm sending you the bestest of vibes for the u/s, hang in there.
Oh and if you're stressing about stressing... I had a friend who STRESSED through her PG (due to having previous m/c's) and her bubba was absolutely fine. So don't beat yourself up, do what you need to in order to cope with the stress... and give yourself a GREAT BIG HUG!
