I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm bleeding

[kamula]

I had an U/S on Friday and the doctor said that the sack seemed like a 5 weeks sack, so that's fine. However, he didn't see anything in it and neither did I.
I went to the doctor on Friday because the night before (Thuersday) I started bleeding a little bit. He said that I might be having a miscarriage and if in fact it is, then they can't do anything about it.
I have an appointment this Wednesday in the morning, I'll have another U/S to see if the doctor can see the baby.
I'm so scared because the bleeding hasn't stopped yet, today is Sunday and I'm still bleeding. It's not a heavy bleeding thu, it only happens when I clean myself after I pee. It's bright red.
Any comments?
Thanks

Thanks to all of you that have supported me thru out this experience. I will take care of myself so I can be ready for the next one.
I'm feeling so much better now maybe a little bit dizzy. Emotionally, I'm there... I'll be better though.
I'll come back to this chat or maybe open a new one when I get pregnant again.
Thank you all

I'm so sorry to hear this too. Take care of yourself and hopefully you will be able to get pregnant again really soon. I miscarried in May and am now 6 weeks pregnant. So twice this year already and I'm 41.

Be prepared for your hormones to be a bit out of whack for a while. I was surprised by this. Acne, headaches, etc. but came right in about 3 months.

Be kind to yourself.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I literally cried when I read this and the responses. I had a miscarriage in July and just confirmed I am DEFINATLY pregnant again today ( about 4 weeks 3 days is all but I am !!) so dont give up and dont think it wont happen again. Yes, I am worried that this could happen again but I am thinking and feeling positive and knowing in my heart that GOD will take care of me and  this new life growing inside of me and one day soon it will be you having that chance again. BLessings and much love to you

I am so sorry to hear your news, I was so hoping for a more positive outcome.  I have been where you are and I know how painful a time this.  I too will never forget the ones I lost, however with time it does get better.  Be extra good to yourself and allow yourself to go through the grieving process and the emotions you need to.  We are here to support you if you need to vent. I am so glad to hear it sounds like you have a very supportive husband, that helps so much.   I can also tell you that I have had a D&C and it is a very painless easy procedure.  The physical recovery is very quick.  I hope that sets your mind at ease a bit. I remember how scared I was when mine was scheduled and it really was a simple procedure.  Take good care and I wish you all the best.  Amanda

I want to try this:

[kamula]

I have gone to the doctor this morning and they confirmed that theres no baby in the sack. It actually reduced in size. So I'm schedule to have a D&C in the morning.
Good luck to all of you that went thru this and are victoriuos with you babies in hand.....
Me, well I'll have it done tomorrow and move on, I'm grieving because I feel that I have lost my baby, he lived in me for 5 weeks or 4 or 3, it doesnt matter, he was alive and somewhere down the path, he slipped away....
I will always remember this pregnancy.
I'll be better once this is all over.
Doctor said to wait 2 moths before trying to get pregnant again, so my body can be in perfect condition for a new baby.
I cant wait to be pregnant again, however this cloud will always be over me. Even with a new baby I'll always think about the 1st one that slipped away...
Thank you all for yous support.

Tomorrow is my appointment for the U/S. I'm really scared of what's going to happen. The bleeding stopped last night, however I went to the bathroom 30 minutes ago and something like tissue came out. I believe now that all this bleeding has been a miscarriage. I have lost hope.
Tomorrow when I go to my appointment I know what the doctor is going to say.
My hubby is really supportive, and he has been sad these past days. Now he is thinking positive and talking about me getting pregnant again, which I know it'll happen but not knowing when.
I'll post tomorrow what happens in my U/S
Thank you all for your support!

I have had bleeding turn out both ways.  For me it has meant a loss, but this time around all was well.  I bled bright red with this pregnancy off and on until 13 weeks.  It turned out I had a hematomma.  I am now 21 weeks and all is fine.  All you can do is take it day by day right now and hope for the best.  The poster that said it's 50/50 is correct from what I know and those are pretty decent odds.  Hang in there and I sure hope all turns out well.

Kamula,
So sorry you are are going through this but please be positive.  No reason to be said, you still have an HCG of 1600, and could definately have miscalculated period AND could have ovulated later.

If you read many of the posts, most women think they were a week more than they are (me included). So if you think you are 7-8 you are more like 6-7. I thought I was 5 weeks first ultrasound but ended up just at 4.

Good luck sweetie, will be thinking about you!

Hi, I had bleeding for the first 8 weeks due to hematoma and fluid in my upper abdominal cavity.  As long as the blood is black I believe its nothing to worry about- good luck!  

[kamula]

Thank you so much for leaving comments to my question.
I'm still bleeding, and I got a call from the doctor this morning saying that my blood work came back. She told me that my hcg levels are at 1600. We thought I was supposed to be 7 - 8 weeks and she said that it was too low, that the doctor believes I have miscarriaged already. So I told her that I have miscalculated my periods and the last one was in August 5. She called me 20 minutes later (after she told the doctor) and now it makes a difference, I'm still going on Wed to have more blood work done and another U/S. I'm ready for the worst...
I'm really sad about this whole situation.

Kamula,
5 weeks is tough to see anything in the sac I was 4.5w on my first u/s and they saw nothing either.
Could be implantation bleeding...are you getting your HCG checked?
I see many women bleeding through much of their first 6/7 weeks and all turned out fine...so be positive.  Throwing good vibes your way!

Good luck to the both of you. I have been there and hope your stories end better than mine did. 50/50 is not to bad of odds of you think about it. Sorry, trying to stay on the positive side which is what you need to be right now. The mind is a wonderful thing and good thoughts can lead to good things.

I'm sorry to hear this. All you can do really is wait and see what happens. Many of us have been through this and it is awful.
I have read that 25% of pregnancies have some bleeding and about 50% of those go on to be successful. So it's a 50:50 game. I have also had some very minor brown/yellow discharge so count myself in the 50:50 camp too.
Here's hoping for the best.
