Miscarriage?

I started spotting red/pink Thursday, 6/30, when I was about 6 weeks pg. I had a Drs appointment that morning for blood work so I figured I would mention the spotting when I went in. The nurse drew blood and then took me to an exam room. The NP did a pelvic exam and said she saw some blood in the cavity. We told her we had intercourse the day before and she said that could be the reason for the spotting. If I'm having a m/c, there's nothing they could do. But just to be sure, they wanted me to go for sonogram & trans vag u/s at another facility. She also said that i will bleed until it all comes out and that it has to go some place. She also told me not to worry about the amount or the clots because that doesn't necessarily mean a m/c. She's had plenty of ladies come in with baggies full of bloody tissues with clots and it was nothing.
We did the scan and were told that the couldn't see anything probably because I was still "too early". Blood test said that my hCG dropped from 35 last week to 34 a week later....that's not good, right? I am on bed rest and pelvic rest until I don't bleed for 3 days. I go back in on Tuesday, 7/5, for more blood work. I have been bleeding and cramping since Thursday evening and I'm so scared.
Also, when I finally made it home, I pulled off my clothes to get into pjs and I felt wet in my undies. I went to clean myself and there was a large clot that came off on the paper. I told the Dr/NP about it and she said that it doesn't mean anything. We have to just wait for the test on Tuesday....
I am just worrying myself sick.
What can I do?
Does this mean I am having/had a m/c?

Thank you. I did find out for sure today that it's gone. They're waiting for me to get under 10 before they do anything else.
I appreciate your support very much. This was so drying that I didn't want to be true and I've just been in denial until I heard something definitive
Thank you again for your kind words and concern.
I am sorry for your loss also.

I am so sorry you are going through this. During early pregnancy your numbers are suppose to double every 48-72 hours. The fact that days later they went down is not good. When I had my m/c the doctor told me that because I was almost 6 weeks and they couldn't find the fetal pole and because my numbers only went from 2032 to 4900 during a 6 day period that I was going to lose my baby. Unfortunately he was right. Unfortunately it does sound like you are or did lose your baby. I am very sorry.
