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

My fiance and I are definately not having sex... I dont want to lose this one. I am terrifie of it. I have not had cramps and my OB says that is a good sign. the bright red bleeding stopped after sex and now it is only alittle purplish red mixed with mucous. So I am hoping that is a good sign. I just am praying to see a heartbeat in 2 weeks. I think if that happens i will feel less stressed about my little baby making it. CONGRATS on the baby boy!!!

Bright red blood is scary.  It happened to me at about 13 weeks.  I went to the ER and the ultrasound showed that my baby was fine.  They thought I had what was called a subchorionic bleed, which could be what you have.  That is basically a clot or bleeding somewhere near the edge of your placenta.  In most cases they resolve on their own... Listen to the previous post, NO SEX.  Mine turned out the be a misdiagnosis and I was actually having a miscarriage of a twin, which is another possiblity.  Hang in there until your next ultrasound and pray for that little ticker to be there.  Lots of blessings for you and a healthy baby!

yep, i gushed red blood and had cramps between 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant and 16 weeks. it was a threatened miscarriage due to bleeds in and under the amniotic sac. by 18 weeks, the bleeds had healed and now i'm nearly 33 weeks with a healthy boy. DO NOT HAVE SEX. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys

Hi.  I'm sorry you are so scared.  I understand how you feel, though.  I've been there, too.  But, your numbers looks so great and chances are, you are just a week behind which means, they won't see anything on the ultrasound yet.  Try to breathe deep and relax until your next ultrasound.  Also, my best friend had a lot of bright red bleeding when she was pregnant, also.  Her daughter is now 1 1/2 years old.  So, try to remain hopeful.  I know it's hard and it's scary and frustrating b/c you have no control, but try to breathe deep and relax.  Keep me posted on how you are doing.  I'll keep you in my prayers.
