Well I just recently had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago and I don't want to scare you or anything but when the spotting becomes a little darker it's not a very good sign. All my levels were where they should be as well and with in a few days I was for sure miscarrying. Just keep an eye on it and if the spotting becomes much darker and heavier then I would probably guess your wife is having a miscarriage. Every woman is different, so don't give up hope yet! Keep us posted! Good luck!
I was cramping for several weeks in very early pregnancy. Like, before six weeks pregnant. The cramping could be normal. I had no spotting though so I can't give you advice on that. How many times has she had her HCG checked?
Today is the 3rd day and she has still been spotting off and on, but today is a little more darker than the previous 2 days.
We called the doctor, but basically he said that for her to call back when she stops spotting. She had some blood work done and everything came back good, hormone levels are where they should be.
She says she it cramping, so Im starting to get a little worried.
I'm 90% confident those were progesterone shots she had to take.
Good to hear you'll be seeing the doc! Please let us know what happens. We're rooting for you!
Thanks for the advice, I know she needed to have weekley shots with her first child, not sure if it was progesterone, but could of been.
She has been on prenantal pills for the last 3-4 months, but were scheduled to talk to a doctor tomarrow, after he receives the blood results.
Having pregnancy symptoms is a reassuring sign but she really needs to go see her doctor as soon as possible. If she has low progesterone, she'll need supplements. Progesterone is needed to support a pregnancy. If this is why she has miscarried in the past, supplements should help!
I had a miscarriage and became pregnant after it and I was terrified the entire time, even after the 12th week (when the chances of loss go down). Bleeding in early pregnancy can be fine.
Signs to look for include bright red blood, clots, lower back pain accompanying cramps, fever, etc.
Cramps and lower back pain are a normal pregnancy symptom, so do not worry about that unless it is accompanied by the other symptoms listed. I truly hope she is not miscarrying!
Thank you all for your comments and hope. She just started spotting today,so we will see how long that will last. And as far as I know its been light. She has had pregnancy symptoms, well at least I think.
She has missed her period.
She has had sore breast.
She has been getting sick (morning sickness) but only at night
She has been feeling really tired
And She is really emotional.
I know things might be to early to tell and she may be fine, Im trying to keep a positive outlook, I know its difficult with anyone who has had prior miscarriages.
LIke Chantal said, if she is just barely bleeding and its not like a regular period then she should be just fine. As long as she doesnt start bleeding heavy then she and the baby should be just fine. It is common to spot early on, especially with intercourse.
If she isn't bleeding heavy and having horrible cramps, everything could be just fine. Some women spot in early pregnancy and are fine. For others, like myself, spotting is not a good sign. I've had 2 miscarriages, and you can't help but worry when you become pregnant again. Has she had her HCG levels taken? As long as that continues to double every 2-3 days, that is a good sign. It may be too early to do an u/s depending on how far along she is.
I know exactly what you are going through. I have had 2 miscarriages, and I am currently 9 months pregnant. I have bled all three pregnancies. I also had severe cramps in the beginning of this pregnancy. I know you are really wanting a straight answer, but it is so early, its really hard to say. I know this is not the case for everyone, but the difference between my miscarriages and this pregnancy is the symptoms. I really felt pregnant this time vs. the other two times when I really didn't have any symptoms at all. Is your wife having any pregnancy symptoms?? If she was supposed to get her period on the 9th, she would be about 5 weeks or so. Most of the time they would be able to see something on an ultrasound by now. This is your best bet to determine if it is a viable pregnancy or not. Please remember, just because you are having cramping, or bleeding, or both DOES NOT mean you are having a miscarrige. Although these can be early signs, it can be many other things as well. Hope this helps, good luck!!
