6 weeks and bleeding for 3 days

This is my first time on this site but I read some encouraging stories and i was hoping to get some opinions about my story.  I am 6 weeks pregnant.  This is my second and although i was not able to confirm, I believe I may have had two m/c's before this pregnancy.  Thursday night I felt like I needed to use the bathroom so i tried to go and I couldnt.  Wen I wiped i noticed a pink tink.  I took a shower not thinking much of it and wen i checked the blood had gotten darker pink/red, but not like a period (bright and deep red).  I panicked and the ER nurse told me to lay on my back with my feet up.  It had stopped by the end of the night but the next morning started up again.  this time it was more of a brown/red. It has been on and off for 3 days now.  I went to the doctor friday morning and we could not see the baby. He said it could still be too early.  The concerning part is that my hormone levels have been on the low side since the beginning. 3 days after i missed my period they were only at 31.  we took another blood test and i am scheduled for one more and an ultra sound.  It is now sunday and im still bleeding but there is no red at all. just really dark brown.  im still on bed rest until i know more.  I dont have strong pregnancy symptoms. only slightl nausea and breast tenderness.  And I have had no clotts or cramping.  i really want this baby.

It truly can go either way! Brown blood is old blood. It doesn't necessarily mean you're miscarrying. Some women can bleed and fill many pads a day and still go on to have a healthy baby.

So keep your chin up and get those tests done! Let us know how they go, okay? We're here for you no matter what happens!

Ok you've heard some horror stories now let mr tell u some good ones so you can stay hopeful, I started bleeding with my daughter at 5 weeks or 6 weeks, I stayed on bedrest for my first trimester till about week  10 and everything was fine, she's goig to e four in July, also I'm pregnant now and thy thought I was 5 or 6 weeks going by last period may 18th, I went to er last night because I was spotting and afraid of ectopic and they saw the sac in my uterus I'm jus very early, like almost 5 weeks! Also on Monday of last week my level was 85 and now it is 1200. we just have to learn to trust in GOD, he is bigger Han low hcg and no baby on an ultrasound, you are probably sooner than you think just like mr, we can't try to figure all this out, just have to let go and trust believeeeee me I know it's hard, but I'll be praying for you keep me posted, and hit me up anytime you'd like=)

With my 3rd pregnancy, I began spotting at 6 weeks and continued until 15 weeks, my son is now 8.  I had low progesterone and low hcg levels.  Try not to count yourself out yet.  Good luck to you.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing. I will keep you in my prayers and wish you the best. I  am 6 wks as well. I had some brown spotting around 5 weeks that subsided and so far everything is still ok. All we can do it hope for the best, and be good to our bodies. I spoke with a nurse about my bleeding and she said it could be either implantation or because it was when my period was due and my body didnt know what to do. as long as its not getting heavier and no clots. Try not to stress, I know its easier said then done. I bleed for 6 days it started red for only really one-two wipes all went away then had a brownish pink discharge the rest of the time. Keep us posted I wish the very best! Good luck!
