Questions....need help

TMI ALERT!!!!!

has anyone here actually started bleeding and not have a miscarriage.  I had a miscarriage in Sept of 06 and I found out Monday that I was preggers.  I was somewhere in 3 weeks when I found out I think....My hcg on Tuesday was 30 so that put me anywhere between 3-5 weeks.  I assumed 3 weeks counting on I know when I ovulated.  I went to work today (at a restaurant) and was setting up and I went to the bathroom there was some dark brown blood and it was watery.  Okay I know when you bleed and it's dark it's old blood but it started to turn to a light red but not pink.  This has been going on all day....not to heavy though just light.   I called the doc and he said it's to early to see anything on an ultrasound and if I'm bleeding tomorrow then come in for blood work.  But maybe I just need to hear a few success stories about people who did bleed and not have a miscarriage.  This time does not feel NOTHING like the miscarriage.  Anyway....any advice is taken...

Thanks
Sherri

I went to the doc today to get blood work done.  They never called me to let me know what my levels were.  I won't know until wednesday now when I go back for the second beta screen.  I think I might call tomorrow to see if they will tell me my number.  I just don't want to be a pest.  I am still bleeding and passing clots but honestly I have not seen anything that resembles a miscarriage.  It's normal size clots I have during my regular AF.  I think I'm just having AF.  I was due on the 3rd and now I have had my AF (or what it seems like) for 2 days.  It seems to be slowing down a bit tonight though.  I'll keep ya updated.

Thanks for all the encouragement.  I really appreciate it.  You don't know how much it means to me!

I too bled early with my son from about 4-7 weeks.  It was realy scary.  I remember not wanting to move and just lay on the couch all day.  I was eventually diagnosed with BV and that is what they said was causing the bleeding.  I had tons of tests done too and was having pain (which they told me was a sign I was going to MC) well that turned out to be a cyst the size of a small orange.  I was told by several nurses and doctors that I should prepare myself for a MC.  Hang in there - my son just turned 2 a few months ago, but I remember the feeling like it was yesterday.

I had two miscarriages with no bleeding. During my 3rd pregnancy, I spotted the whole first trimester- usually dark brown or pink. I had my son a month ago. Most of my friends had some sort of spotting or bleeding during the first trimester. Stay positive!

When I had my mc I was at work so someone told me about another woman who used to work at my work who thought she was going to have a mc because she had bright red, heavy bleeding like a bad period BUT the doctor checked her and she was fine...I guess this happened all through her pregnancy too and she carried to full term and had a healthy baby...Good luck...try to stay positive!
