Nervous....

[pmick]

So i am 6wks pregnant today. A few days ago i started to lightly spot (pink discharge). Went in for U/S; they found my cervix looked perfect, baby in uterus, and sack, yolk, etc. Everything is there.
Had a HCG test on 6/5 it came up at 3131.60.. another one done on 6/7 pnly rised 1100 points. Didnt double as dr wanted it to. He said that wasn't normal...
Also saw baby implanted very low.. right by my cervix. I had my daughter 3/2011.. they didn't say she was implanted low.. doc said he didnt know what this meant?
Ive been having light brownish discharge (no cramping) for past 4 days. I basically use one pantyliner a day.. so its not a lot of diacharge at all.
I suffered an ectopic 1/2013. Worst experience of my life, esp after methotrexate shots.

Has anyone else had baby implanted low in cervix? Or non doubling HCG levelsat at 5wksthe pregnant? What should i expect? Miscarriage? Rough pregnancy?... ugh so stressful.

Thank you ladies! For your information. I stopped bleeding and no cramping so I'm sure it was just typical pregnancy spottong and as far as the hcg levels are going Ive been trying to not get nervous about them. I have another u/s on the 28th so we will see then! Pray!! :)

I know how scary is to bleed during early pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my soon at 14 weeks I had bleeding: first bright red, then brownish for a few days. After ultrasound it become apparent that I had low laying placenta partially covering the cervix. The baby was fine! Perhaps this could be the issue for you. Good luck!

I have to agree with adgal on the HCG levels and spotting.  Check out http://www.*****************.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html to get a little more information on that.  It will ease your mind at least in regard to the HCG levels.  Your's seems normal according to what is listed there.

Have you heard a heartbeat yet?  A heartbeat reduces miscarriage probability significantly.  I hope everything works out for you!

I'm sorry your so worried.  I know what this is like, and the unknown is so scary.   So a couple of things for you...

I would never ever discount a Dr.'s information, but I can tell you he is incorrect on the HCG levels.  It is pretty old school thinking that they "double" every 48 hours.  It's actually every 40 to 72 hours.  Also, a fertility specialist will tell you that as they get higher, the doubling time decreases.  After they reach about 1200, it's more like every 3 to 4 days.  

I honestly don't know anything about implanting low on the cervix.  I do know that if the placenta is forming near or just above the cervix, a condition called placenta previa can take place.  In those cases sometimes the placenta moves up, othertimes it doesn't.  When it doesn't this typically means a fairly normal pregnancy, but a c section instead of a vaginal delivery.  It can also cause spotting and bleeding.  

Light spotting and even outright bleeding during first trimester is common.  Approximately 30% of women will experience this, and most will go on to have a normal pregnancy.

Honestly, at this point I wouldn't worry too much.  I would perhaps ask to be referred to an OB/GYN.    Any pregnancy can end in miscarriage, but if your u/s was normal, that is a far better indicator of a healthy pregnancy then hcg levels.  Most Dr.'s will not perform HCG tests after an ultrasound unless the dating seemed off.  It's always wait and see in first trimester, but if i were you i really wouldn't be too worried.  All the best to you.
