I had similar bleeding and mild cramping/tenderness too around 6 to 8 weeks. It turned out to be placenta growing and hitting a blood vessel.
But boy, did i WORRY. its NOT fun.
Do SOMETHING- ANYTHING to take your mind away from it. rent some videos if you can and distract yourself.
I also had an ultrasound to calm myself down- which worked.

might be a good idea to rest and see how u go but deffiantely have the scan done at some point it will ease ur mind and possible find the problem
I had early bleeding with my DD and it eased my mind when I saw the heartbeat
I had bleeding at 17 weeks (similar to what you mentioned - a mixture of bright red blood and brownish mucousy discharge) and all turned out to be fine. To ease your mind, I think it's a good idea to get a scan. It could just be bleeding from the blood vessels in your cervix, or another subchorionic bleed, or a low lying placenta?
I don't have any advice except just try to relax and rest!! Stressing won't help... Just lay on the couch and watch a movie or read a book. Bleeding is scary regardless of whether it is harmful or harmless!!! Keep your chin up and get an US when you can!
