will they be giving you an ultrasound soon? i know at 5 weeks there isn't much tosee...usually only a sac and yolksac. but maybe at 6 weeks they'll do one and see whats going on?
When I was pregnant with my son I bled severly(gushes) and twice a week I
had it happen till I was about 13 weeks pregnant.I even lost huge clots
but his heart kept beating and he's 14 now.Wait for your next bloodtest and
ask for an ultrasound.I hope you've got a sticky bean.Good luck!!!
You will have to wait and see what the blood test shows. It sounds like you have been bleeding a lot which doesn't sound good to me(especially the bright red bleeding and that it was like the lining) but many women bleed and spot in the first trimester with no problems. Best of luck.
