As per my last menstrual period I am 7.5 weeks pregnant but as per scan it shows 6.4 weeks. I have had a brownish spotting issue for the last two weeks so I rushed to the hospital and they did a scan on 5th July and told me everything is ok. I was given Gestofit SR 50 injection for 10 days and currently I am on Sustain 25 injection. I still have a little bit of brownish spotting mostly at the time of waking up in the morning. I am attaching my report. Is it normal or worrisome?

I am currently taking Glycomet 500 mg in the morning and evening. My blood sugar readings are around 150 (fasting) and 190 to 200 (post meal). I underwent an IUI procedure 22 days ago and am now waiting to find out if I am pregnant. I am concerned about whether these sugar levels could affect the baby if the result is positive. Could you please advise me on what precautions I should take at this stage?
