what does this mean

[leandrea1555]

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding for over a week with no cramps or pain but it's really light but I'm scared and the doctor won't see me till I'm eight weeks so does this mean I'm having a miscarriage or what

It could have been a very early miscarriage. Hopefully that's not the case though.

I took a pregnancy test and it was negative today

You really should see your ob because he/she can give you medicine to help. In my case I needed extra progesterone and folic acid. I miscarried twice due to my low levels. The emergency room is helpful but honestly your ob is a way better source for your answers.. sending good thoughts your way.

I went to the er they did a ultrasound and couldn't find anything which they said was normal and blood work and I'm still bleeding its just not as heavy they couldn't really tell me anything except to come back next week for more blood work

While everything these nice ladies said is true and you should get checked out in case you could be like me with my daughter i bled up till i was 5 months pregnant it's not common but out happens i also don't produce a lot of the hormone that says you are pregnant but better safe than sorry

I hate to bring bad news but in my experciance with my first pregnancy i started really light bleeding at week 5, and missed carried at the end of week 6, sometimes your body knows your bebe is unhealthy and rejects baby that early fortunatly i got pregnant 4 weeks after and and i am 18 weeks! Go to a walk in clinc and explain what is happening. They cannot turn you away!!! Keep us updated!! Xo

Thanks its my first pregnancy and its been over a week since it started its really light though it just worries me

Hopefully it's OK since you're only lightly bleeding. Have u told your doctor that u are bleeding? They should work you in if you are. If you're concerned, go to the ER. They are obligated to do blood work up & vaginal ultrasound to make sure you're OK or to determine if u are having a miscarriage. I had the same problem as you at 7 weeks. It started out light & spotty, but by the 3rd day, it got heavy like a period so I went to ER. They did all the work up & I sadly had a miscarriage. Hopefully since urs is light though, u should b ok. My recommendation is if ur bleeding this early, don't have Intercourse for the first 12 weeks of ur pregnancy. That's what my doctor told me. Good luck with everything. I hope ur ok.
