5th week bleeding

K01
Im 5 weeks pregnant. My 1st pregnancy test was done on the 18th October. I had very very negligable  brown discharge on the 20th & 26th& 28th. I started bleeding on the 29ht with bright red. It lasted till night & in the night it changed into brick read. today its very less but still bleeding with muddy brown in colour. My HCG level was 14,000 29th afternoon. I will be going for a blood test t'row. Yesterday with the bleeding twice it was like the lining. Could the embryo survive with that kind of bleeding?

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.
