Light spotting- 6 weeks pregnant- hcg levels checked

I had light brown discharge on Tuesday, only when I wiped. This morning I had light pink blood. I'm 6 weeks 2 days pregnant. Im terrified of a miscarriage. I went to my obgyn this morning and the Dr checked my uterus and said it was soft and high. He said that's healthy and normal. They took blood from me to check my hcg levels. I will find out the results tomorrow. The Dr told me it has to be 5000 or above. He told me that in early pregnancy some women do bleed and its completey normal. Tomorrow I will find out if everything is ok with my hcg levels. If its too low, its possible I will miscarry. I'm so scared and hoping everything will be ok. If my levels are high they will then do a sonogram.

Has this happened to anyone before? I'm nervous and svare

It's odd that your doctor said they have to be over 5,000. At 6 weeks your levels can vary and "normal" guidelines for that stage are anywhere from 1,000-57,000. Remember as well, an individual number does NOT tell if a pregnancy is viable, nor does it mean low levels=miscarriage. It's what that number does that determines what might happen. You will need another blood draw in 2 days to determine if something's wrong.

As for the bleeding, it can be very normal. I myself have no had any problems with bleeding while pregnant. My first pregnancy I had no blood until I went into labour, and I was just recently pregnant again. This one I randomly started to bleed identical to a period---no spotting or anything beforehand to suggest something was wrong.

Oh and the Dr also did a papsmear so I will have some slight bleeding because of that as well
