I'm five weeks pregnant through IVF and have been experiencing pinkish spotting for three days, followed by fresh blood after coughing, which soaked half a pad but was not heavy like a period. I'm using Endometrin 100mg twice daily, Progesterone oil 1ml daily, aspirin, estrogen tablets twice daily, and a patch. I have asthma and no other medical history. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should I do?

I've been taking PPIs for 5 years and don't get acid reflux pain as much, but I experience a sour taste in my mouth, lots of phlegm, and sometimes a hoarse throat. I'm concerned if the PPIs are still effective or if they might be causing damage to my esophageal lining due to low stomach acid. I've tried tests for low stomach acid and had no burping or burning with apple cider vinegar. I stopped pantoprazole for a month and didn't get acid reflux pain, but then started dexilant for gastritis and experienced severe throat burn when I stopped it. I went back to pantoprazole due to fear and the pain subsided, but still have a hoarse throat occasionally. Should I be concerned about damage to my throat or esophagus, and am I overreacting about considering minimally invasive GERD surgery?
