That's great that you didn't have the miscarriage.  I've never been in that situation but congrats!  Just rest and stay off your feet as much as possible!

O MY MY!!!!
well i went in this morning to finally see my doctor. after last night talking to a friend of mine. she told me she had 3 etopics.. i  grew worried. so i called and my doc worked me in.. i wasnt' doing so much bleeding this weeknd. very light spotting. and this morning i got to work started bleeding a little bit more well i left work went and got an ultrasound done. took a minute but we saw heartbeat..i was so shocked. i was so sure i miscarried. its been a full 7days of spotting and bleeding. it never soaked up a pad in an hour but i was still bleeding and felt crampy..i measured at 5wks and 5days. im gonna follow up in 2days..
well here's where the bleeding is coming from. doctor says i have a blood clot in the sac..i was just so shocked that i was still pregnant that i didnt ask too many questions..so if any one out there can help me with this one. i'd really appreciate it. where did the blood clot come from and will i end up in a miscarriage?? all he did was order  a progesterone. so we'll get those results later today. im so confused and worried.  he says its still a threatened miscarriage..and he sent me home to rest.

Don't give up hope yet..... Go to the ER and get checked out..... If your baby is too early to be seen on u/s they won't do one, but they will do a pelvic to make sure your cervix is closed.... Some woman bleed during their pregnancies, even through the entire thing..... So it's possible that with your hormone level's changing and adjusting to baby, your just bleeding...... Please keep us posted! and good luck!

there going up so thats goos, i have a site bookmarked on my other computer so i cant get to it right now, but it says on there after your levels get so high it takes them longer to double, that might be your case. dont loose hope and dont listen to the stupid nurses, i cant believe they told you that!! heres a site that you can read maybe someones there had the same thing happen to them, i like the site, it always gives hope. dont give up girl, lots of prayers!!!

well today i did a stat quant done. i got the results this afternoon..it did not doubled like i was hoping it did. it went up but barely like in the 26thous..im still spotting and occassional cramps. like i said i have a bad cold and everytime i cough i have pelvic pain. anyway, wed i have a doctors appt. i guess i'll find out then what is going on. the nurses says it a def miscarriage..and all i could do was cry as soon as a got home. i've been reading a lot on several similar situations some gave me hope but i know...anyway, i will keep u updated. thank u so much for your response..

Well I know it's difficult to not give up hope but just try to think positive and relax. Worrying only makes things worse. I would just go see a doctor as soon as possible, there may be something that can be done since you are so early in your Pregnancy. If you can't get into your doctor go to the ER. Thats what I had to do...
Good Luck Hun! Keep us updated on your status and if you ever need to talk, we're here for you :)

thank you ladies! i really appreciate it.

im just really worried because my progesterone is pretty much bordeline. i have a friend that works for an obyn doctor. and she says they like to look at it at 16 and up..
only reason why i am preparing myself. also that im pretty early that if i have a miscarriage i should just let it happen or go in for another quant tomorrow. ive already made an appt for next week. i think if i miscarry it'll probably happen over the weekend. right?? i mean im bleading this much. (half a pad). and now, im feeling a little crampy..

Like Cindy said don't give up hope yet! Many women bleed during parts of their Pregnancy or throughout their entire Pregnancy. Relax...just take care of your body and try to get in and see your Doctor-let him or her know what's going on.

If you do start to Miscarry you will start to bleed a lot like a Period and experience painful Cramps and back pain. Actually some women don't experience any of this, but most do. Every one is different so you could bleed for a day, 5 days or weeks, it all depends. When I m/c I bled for 5 days, had somewhat painful cramps and some back pain. Just keep an eye on your body. I'm sure everything is fine!!
