Threatened Miscarriage

I am 6 weeks pregnant and in the middle of a threatened miscarriage.  So after being seen in the ER and have blood test my cervix check and a U/S I'm in the same place I was when I started bleeding.  I was only bleeding for one day. When I would pee I would bleed out clots and old blood.  I have no had any cramps. My cervix is closed. And the US showed there was still a possible baby very low in the uterus.  Since the ultra sound I have onlyl been spotting.  No more clotting.    My HCG levels were at 192.  So the doctor said I could just have miscalculated and are not that far along or I am miscarrying.  I go back to the doctor tom afternoon.  I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced a miscarriage with only a day of clotty bleeding.  Or if this could be normal bleeding and if I could carry to term.  Does clott bleeding always mean a miscarriage?

I had a m/c 2 weeks ago and I started with light spotting. It nover got heavy. When I had the US at the ER they told me that I was 5 weeks but I knew exactly when I had conceived so I knew that I was 6 weeks, which told me that the embryo stopped growing a week before and my body started the process of eliminating a week later. Also, my levels at 6 weeks were 38,000 which were low for as long as I was.
I know women bleed and have normal pregancies. Are your boobs still sore? DO you feel pregnant still? Listen to your body, it will be your best answer. Mine was and I just didn't want to believe it.
A prayer goes to you! Hang in there!

I had been discharged with a threatening miscarriage last week from the hospital.
It's still early days but from the scan the doctor at the hospital said that it all looks normal. I started with brown discharges 3 weeks ago. Started passing out clots almost 2 weeks ago. During the week end I had huge cloots coming out, it was not a period just clots with some cramping. The discharges did not stop yet the clotting did stop. Having another appointment this week. I am anxious as I previously had a miscarriage and this is my first pregnancy as I do not have any children.

There are lots of women who have bled and passed clotts to continue on to have a normal pregnancy.  

They say as long as you are not bleeding heavy to where you have to put on a panty liner or a normal pad than that is fine.  

Hope your levels do go up since 192 at 6wks is a very low number that doesn't sound very promising for a viable pregnancy.  Normally around 6wks the numbers should be over 1,000
