Is Bleeding A Bad sign

I'm only 3 Weeks pregnant i experience some spotting here and there it isnt enought to soak a pantyliner,and i only see the blood after wiping when i've gone to the bathroom. I've had the transvaginal ultrasound done and im not ectopically pregnant. I'm so freaked whenever i see it.

I gotta say that i cant actually believe this thread, i thought this was a support site and although you have all been more than nice to me, I am a little disappointed.

I am only 3 weeks and 4 days pregnant and i knew as of the other day, When i spoke to my EPU they told me that it was a good sign that i got a faint positive as that meant the hormone was high and rising nicely.  My last period was 03/04/08, with my miscarriage i didnt think it was possible to fall pregnant again so soon.  But I have.

The body is such a wonderful thing noone knows just what its going to do, i think it may be good to bear in mind in the future that everyone IS different and so is there body.

I really hope noone takes offence to what i have said.  I just wanted to show this girl some support.

I was 6 weeks or so when i miscarried and thats how mine started, light bleedin upon wiping after being to the bathroom the other thing i can suggest to you is to contact your doctor and make an appointment to see him or her as soon as possible.

Well congratulations! I am so happy for you! I have read that spotting sometimes is normal and long as its not accompanied with cramping. I just recently (last week) found out I am pregnant, but I do know that I am only 3 weeks and some days (not sure how many) So good luck to all of us!

hey! i am having spotting too, i was having cramping but none today, i didnt know it was bad to have cramping in early pregnancy either i thought it was quite common. i havent tested yet so im not sure but i think we might both have implantation bleeding. AF isnt due for me until 4/28. anyway congratulations on your pregnancy, it sounds like youve been through a lot here lately. hope you can find everything you need here, support, advice, etc. =0)

good for you for being able to lose all that weight.  i am in desperate need of weight loss.

but as far as the bleeding, did oyu ahve the doctor run your hcg levels yet.  have them do them 2 times in one week and you will get a better understanding if the pregnancy is goig well.

you might also have the corpus lytum (not sure if it is spelt that way) cyst too but thats a good thing cause it helps with producing progesterone.

Good luck.

It is a dermoid cyst!! and it is quite large!!! I used 2 c/o stomach pains years ago frequently, had lots of test run they never found anything,then i dropped over 150lbs, and the pains went away, then recently i dropped more weight ,and they started again,then the same day i found out i was pregnant!!!

Hi tia,

did the doctor tell you what kind of cyst he thought it was?  cause when you get pregnant your body usually makes a cysts, called like a corpus something or another, and that helps produce hormones at the beginning stages.  was it that kidn of cyst or one that can be harmful?

if your last period was in March, it would make you about 6 weeks.  it is real funny how pregnancy is dated.  you are technically gearing up each period for pregnancy, so they count you being pregnant prior to you actually getting pregnant.

i remember first time i was pregnant i found out really fast, at the 4 week mark and told my mom i was four weeks along and she yelled at me that how did i not know for a whole month i was pregnant.  i had to explain to her that 2 weeks are tacked on to it, so really i was only 2 weeks along as when the sperm and egg met.

what did the doctor say the next step is?  people can see heartbeats as early as 6 weeks so maybe you should have him do an ultrasound again soon.

Good luck:)

I know with in Canada, you only go by the LMP untill you are given an EDD. So she could be 3 weeks past conception which would be 5-6 weeks using LMP.

Also blood work can give you decent idea based on the levels.

thank you you took the words right out of my mouth..never in her post did she say they were on there and looking for a baby, all she said was that she was having her cyst checked out and they made sure it wasnt an ectopic pregnancy.after the dr said she was pregnany. people jump to conclusions on here way too quickly sometimes..i was thinking the same thing..read correctly!! :) and i had a friend who was only 3 weeks pregnant when she found out also, she went to the dr for a totally different reason, and they looked into pregnancy, sure enough she had a rising hcg level and a few weeks later there was baby!!

tiaj08- congrats!! and keep an eye on the bleeding, if it continues let the dr know.. how long ago was your transvaginal? that CAN cause spotting is why i ask

Yep a lot of times if people have a cyst they may spot during early pregnancy. Just have your doctor check your levels and give you a repeat ultrasound to make sure everything is going okay.

Hey, maybe you're spotting because of your cyst issue.  There's probably nothing wrong with the pregnancy although that's something that only your doctor will be able to tell you.  You did the right thing to get checked up, I hope it all goes well!  Oh and congratz, I think there are a few of us here that wish we could know if we're pregnant as soon after having sex! ;)  That's probably why we over analyze ovulation, symptoms etc.  Good Luck!

Man...I think you all are making this poor girl feel bad for something that she's supposed to be getting support for! First of all...when you read, read correctly! SHe NEVER said in her inital post that the doc saw a sac. She said the doctor made sure that she wasn't having an ectopic pregnancy! What doesn't make sense about her story? She had her last AF March 7th, which makes her, IN DOCTOR TERMS, almost 7 weeks pregnant. WHo cares if she was considering herself 3 weeks from ovulation or 3 weeks according to the doctor? Either way, the woman says she's pregnant and you guys (not all of you) are harrassing her and accusing her of lying! She came on here looking for help!
For those of you who think you're some sort of Private Investigator (doctor or not), you're in the wrong forum! This forum is meant TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE, ASSISTANCE, ANSWERS AND THIS RARE THING CALLED SUPPORT!
IF you're still stuck in high school and are looking to make people feel bad, you need to find another post!(ZoesMommy).  Considering how hateful certain ppl are being, I think tiaj08 is handling the situation very maturely and her maturity should be an example we all follow on these forums!!!

TIAJ08: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!!! I'm sorry that you were treated this way. THIS is an example of why women are often labeled "*******" in movies and tv shows! If you're looking for support, there are plenty of people on this forum that are supportive and considerate and will treat your questions and concerns seriously! Don't give up on all of us!!

I have to agree with some of you.  When she had her u/s, they would have seen a cyst like bubble in the uterus, and maybe a yok sac at 3-4weeks.. But as long as they are checking your levels and they are doublin, you are probably having implantation bleeding, have they scheduled you for another u/s to make sure it is not a blited ovum... I had a u/s at 4 weeks and all they saw was a cyst like sac, and sense I have had cysts, and even though my blood work and urine said I was pg, they had me come back in a week to check for a viable pg.. I am now 35wks..  But I would call the docs to make sure, I am sure they will schedule you right away for another u/s.  I have had four so far, due to spotting three times early on.. So stay calm, and have them follow up to make sure you are ok, besides it is always fun to see the little one.. good luck

The reason why people were being so negative is that said you were 3 weeks pregnant and that would mean the egg had only been fertalized within that week probably. Soemtimes  even when people are 6 weeks pregnant they can't see the heartbeat, others can. Some people on this forum can be quick to jump down peoples throats because they havebeen trying to have a baby or have lost a baby, an it is wrong becuase not everyone is obsessed with pregnancy and not everyone knows as much about pregnacy and symptoms as these girls
The weeks start from the first day of your last cycle, not when you actually get pregnant. It actually makes you 6week 5days. At your stage some spotting if fine, some people actually even experience heavy bleeding throughout the first trimester and are fine, like i said especially when there are cramps call your Dr or id you soak through a pad in a hour.
all the best!

My LMP was March 7 th as well so you would be 6 weeks 6 days pregnanct actually....I think that your Dr. may be counting from your ovulation date, which some do......Anyway, spotting is normal, jut not heavy bleeding with severe cramping...  If the bleeding is heavy , call your Dr. just to be on the safe side.
Congrats.

Sweetheart calm down, I have not implied that you weren't pregnant. I have however implied that maybe your doctor was off on your dates. If your last period was March 7 that makes you about 6 weeks pregnant now not 3 weeks. That was my only issue, so I am guessing the doctor told you that you were 3 weeks on April 11? You need to stop jumping down peoples throats just because one person implied that you weren't pregnant. I do think however that if you are spotting you need to call your doctor right away instead of fighting with people on a ridiculous forum trying to seek out advice. Finally, I too had spotting at around 6 weeks and everything turned out to be fine. I am now 28 weeks 5 days. That doesn't mean it's the same for you though. I would call your doctor asap and get in to be seen. Also, as I mentioned I too have cysts and Endmetriosis so it could be associate with that. Who knows? Either way, calm down, sop assuming people are out to get you and call you doctor please. Let us know how you make out.

When i went to the doctor i didnt even know i was pregnant after they got urine from me they told me i was pregnant. I went bcuz i was having lower abdominal pains,the same day my doc sent me to get an u/s done bcuz my pt was positive,and i was having pain,when i had my u/s that is when we saw a cyst on my left ovary,then they did a transvaginal u/s to look at my fallopian tubes,which were clear. There are people who have actually had their cyst remove while they were pregnant. So i've had light spotting but no pain i've had my hcg levels tested 3 times and they seemed to be ok
