Vaginal ultrasound at 6 wks and no heart beat

I am 35 years old and found out I am pregnant only recently. I thought I was 5 weeks pregnant but everyone keeps telling me I am 6. I found 4 massive red spots last Friday that set me off in a panic. I called the hospital and they set up a vaginal ultrasound for today. In the meantime I rested and only had brown blood and very faint when I wiped (sorry TMI)
Had the appointment today and there was no heart beat but we did see the sac but no sign of baby as still very small or so the nurse said. I am scheduled for another scan in 2 weeks' time so hopefully all will be well. I had a miscarriage in 2002 so don't really want to go through the same thing. Fingers crossed!

Well just in case just rest stay in bed as much as u can until monday. Although I don't think just spotting means that u will miscarry but since it hasn't stopped just be on the safe side n rest until the doc gives u the ur ok.

noy yet. I am in pieces not knowing. We'll know on Monday. The bleeding hasn't stopped. There are good days when there's nothing when I wipe and then other days when I get a brown pastey type of discharge. I have no idea how I am going to wait until Monday. Hopefully we get some good news!
