Heavy bleeding during pregnancy

Okay--I am a bit freaked out. My husband and I had been trying for 18 months to get pregnant, and as we were going in for a laporoscopy, we found out we were pregnant. I am 7 weeks (but measuring 6W2D). I have had bleeding and spotting the WHOLE TIME. I have had 2 ER trips with clots the size of golf balls--anyway--they found the following: a polyp on my cervix, and a sub chorionic bleed in my uterus. The baby is measuring fine ( my levels were 22,000 on Sat.), and the heartbeat was 119. Has ANYONE experienced both of these things??

ALSO--to those new mom's out there experiencing the true scare of bleeding, there was an explanation for me (two in fact). BUT, I had to keep asking questions.

I am 5wks 6d. I started spotting on Saturday. It was bright pinkish reddish spotting. Later that evening it turned to bleeding as a normal period with blood clots. I went to the ER and they checked my levels, gave me an ultrasound, and pelvic exam. They saw nothing. The Dr said that either the pregnancy ended earlier (chemical pregnancy), it could be another ectopic (had one 2 yrs ago), or that it could be just too early to see anything. They sent me home and asked me to go back for labs that Monday. I went for hcg levels then went home. My Husband kept praying and prophetically speaking over the pregnancy & our child. So, my testimony is, my levels doubled, my baby is perfect and we're blessed by God! Ladies, bleeding and blood clots does not mean it's the end. Women have normal babies all the time that bleed the whole 9 months. Be not dismayed or allow negative thoughts take over your mind. Cast negative thoughts & emotions out as 2 Cor. 10:5 declares. Also speak those things that be not (or seem odd) as though they were. I pray that this will encourage a Mother. My Husband and I have been married for 8 years. Our first pregnancy ended in an ectopic. Now 2 years later we're pregnant again and finally are about to have our first child. To God be the glory! Amen.

Saturday i missed my period, by Wednesday i took 3 preg tests and they all came out positive. I called my local obgyn office and set up my first appt for monday. The very next day i felt like something was wrong. A pain/numbing feeling on my left side
Belly down my leg. I called they got me in that day for a u/s. They saw the sac where the baby is but above t they saw a mass. Doc said it was free flowing fluid/blood. Little concerned they sent me for blood work. Hcg was 319. Told me to wait till monday. That night at work i started bleeding very heavily. Went to the er was examined and told my cervix is closed it was concerned a threaten abortion. To all my doc office in the morning.

I am 6wks pregnant and last Tuesday I saw what was like the beginning of a period. I was devastated and was torn to pieces. I called my Gp who said I was having a miscarriage. On Wednesday even more mess coming out but not blood, I was in tears on the phone to my Gp who saw me for a chat. No examination just assured me I was miscarrying. He booked me with emergency gynae for a check and scan on thursday. Urine sample was positive for pregnancy. The u/s showed a small sac but was told it is too small for 6wks and looked abt 4wks old. They took blood and had to wait. Then Friday night I did not sleep as I was cramping way too much, it was so painful. I called emergency doctor went to see them but all je gave me was paracetamol for pain but to let it all happen. I spent the Friday resting and crying. I was passing huge tough tissue, a bit squeshy but quite tough. Today Saturday went for blood test to check the hormones are going down. From the blood taken on Thursday my progesterone was lower than that to sustain a pregnancy and my hcg levels were not for 6wks but 4wks pregnancy. My mum and I are praying hard that there is something left in me that is still growing.

Well I think I may be about 4 weeks and I had a light period with cramps & then it got a little heavier but not even close to as heavy as it used to be. I have had bright red blood. 'm really not sure what to think. Is it normal to get a period or I think it's a period..
