bright red bleeding!

So I was supposily 6wks 4days pregnant on june 16th. My fiance and I decided to have intercourse and afterwards there was bright red blood everywhere, about 4-5 inch spot on the bed, all over me and him(sorry if TMI) my doctors has a 24hr call line, I called and they called my OB. Oh by the way my last pregnancy i had blood and miscarried. My OB got on the phone with me and said since I was suppose to be almost 7wks according to my first day of LMP that she wanted me in for an ultrasound to see if we could see a heartbeat.She said i may just have hit my cervix to hard during sex...but there was ALOT of blood!! The next day I went for my ultrasound. The High Risk Pregnancy Doctor saw me. He asked me a series of questions, cause there was no heartbeat. but the problem with me is I did not get a positive test result till a week after i had missed my period, which was June 7th. So he told me that what he was seeing was a yoke sac and a gest sac and that It could very well be normal since i may only be 3 1/2-4weeks from conception so a week behind 5 weeks 4days. I have to go for a repeat ultrasound on July 1st which is 2 weeks. They also ran labs on me my progesterone came back 2164.8 which is where they thought i should be according to my previous hcg levels and my progesterone was 27.3 which was also very good. I am scared though... I mean last time i miscarried. I dont want to lose this one. I know everything sounds ok, but to me it still feels kinda wrong. I wish they would have ran anouth hcg level to ensure me that they were still rising and not falling. Has anyone ever had something similar happen and was the outcome good??? PLEASE i need some reassuring and HELP!!. I am praying my fiance and I hear a heartbeat on July 1st

It may have just been because of the sex. I had the same problem at about 6 weeks. They did an u/s and everything was fine. However, I have been on bed rest ever since. My bleeding does not seem to stop. It is getting better since now it's not bright red, but I still have brown discharge with mucus (sorry tmi). If your bleeding has stopped and there was not a lot ever since, I'm sure you'll be fine.

I am really hoping that is the case. Yeah i had a miscarrage before.. it was bright red blood but no clots, no severe pain, today 2 days later it seems all the blood has stopped. Which i would say is a good sign. I just wish there was some way to ease all the worring though. Thank you for the support

sorry - just realized I asked a question you had already answered in your first post.

Well you can DEFINITELY be a week behind estimated gestational age if you ovulated a little later than expected.  This is very common and would explain why not a lot was seen on the ultrasound.  Since the bleeding occurred directly after sex that could definitely be the cause.  Bleeding is not "normal" during pregnancy but it does happen in 25% of cases.  If the bleeding is heavy, accompanied by clots, and severe cramping that would be a bad sign and it doesnt sound like that was the case with you.

I do believe there is hope and that the outcome may be positive.  Hang in there.

Thank you. I just wish i could enjoy being pregnant once.. so far my first ended bad and now this one has me on end. Trying to stay calm and positive and not stressed out is so hard when you dont know if your baby is going to make it, if i am going to hear it's little heartbeat in 2weeks or not. I just keep telling myself if i can get to 12weeks everything will be ok. but that seems so hard cause it is still 6weeks away. Thank you though for your support

I first found out June 7th. I did take a test earlier and and thought i saw a line but it was to faint to be sure on June 5th. June 8th I got my first hcg levels drawn and they were 50.3.
