Spotting

by swatson1982, Dec 31, 2007 01:15PM
I have a question. I went back to the Dr. today to have my HCG levels done again. My Dr. was not there so she could not go over them with me. is 785 on the 14th good and 33383 good for the 28th of December I am currently 7w2d pregnant. I have been having spotting since the 26th. Today was the first day I actually saw light red and some dark red not a whole lot. But enough to have to change panny liner. The nurses there when they drew my blood didn't say nothing about the blood. Only if it got to be bright red and a lot. So not sure what to do. I hope everything is doubling. Maybe I am one of those that is going to spot the first trimester. Praying that is. What do you all think about the spotting? Do the HCG levels seem normal since I couldn't talk to a dr.  Thanks for all your help

Shelly, here is a website you can go to to see HCG levels:http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html

If your spotting gets worse or is brighter red and/or is accompanied by cramping, I would be concerned.

As far as your numbers, so long as they are doubling every 48-72 hours and they are rising, I would not worry too awful much.

Take it easy though...

Thank you for the website. It was helpful. The spotting has turned into bright red blood like a period. It is to the point now where I am changing a liner every three hours. Not sure if this is a miscarriage or if I am one of those ladies who will bleed with the pregnancy. Going to wait until I here from the Dr. on Wednesday. If this dosen't get any bettter by tomorrow night I will go back to the ER. They said the levels were good, just don't know why the bleeding. No cramping at all. Feel fine, still have signs of being pregant, nausea, hungary all the time. Just this one little thing that makes me worry. Thank you again for your input.

Hey Shelly,

Maybe you could go back to the ER sooner since you're bleeding more like a period. Perhaps when they thought it was spotting they were not concerned but it sounds like it is heavier and maybe they would want to do a bit more evaluating...

I did have a friend who had that happen...and then the bleeding stopped and her baby was fine and she went on to have a normal pregnancy and delivery, etc.

Hopefully it is not a sign of a m/c...I've had that happen and it's so hard to go through.
