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.

Hi, I've never been pregnant before but since I've been with my bf four wks ago, I started experiencing all the symptoms of pregnancy. Swollen breasts but they weren't sore, frequent urination, constipation, fatigue, etc. I took a test 4 days before my period was due but it was neg. I can't help but feel like I'm pregnant. Now 2 days later I started some light bleeding, pink and brownish in color. However, now the bleeding is heavier with cramps but no where near the consistency of my regular period. So I'm at a loss as to what to expect. The pregnancy symptoms haven't really gone away but I wonder if that is just wishful thinking. I'm not filling up a pad but the flow is somewhat heavy. However, my regular period which is always consistent, is nothing like this, its always the same and I'm not passing any clots which I always do, along with tissue. It's thought that I may have endo, which is why my cramps are bad now but still the bleeding isn't consistent with my normal period.

So, I can't help but wonder if I'm pregnant and if this is just some kind of breakthrough bleeding. I plan on taking a test after the bleeding stops, just to see. But I really felt pregnant so I am really concerned, because I really wanted this to work. The messed up part about this is that I just got dropped from my mom's insurance and I've had to pick up my own but it won't be active until november, so I can't see a doc just yet and if I go to the ER, what am I suppose to tell them? I think I'm pregnant and I think I may be having a miscarriage? My nerves are such a wreck because I don't know what to think.

Any comments would really help.

Hello, Im 18 years young, a freshmen college student and I just found out I was pregnant. I had went the ER a week ago for illness with body aches,pain in my stomach, and just didnt feel good......They told me I was pregnant, they didnt say exactly how far along but just a couple of weeks, so small you couldnt see. a couple of days after i went to womens clinc to get another test, just to be sure and it was postive as well. So after that I get into Im becoming a mommy sense. Me and my current boyfriend did have sexual intercourse and after there was some pinkish spotting but it stopped after like 5mins after that. The next morning we had another sexual intercourse and it started again with the light bleeding. Later on that day I felt terrible and went to the ER and they gave me a pelvic exam and took some blood,,and found myself wearing super pads because of the heavy bleeading and clots...it been for about two days....Im filling up a super pad no wings in 10mins......everyone Ive talked to said thats not good....I go see my OBGYN tomorrow to see if the levels of something is causing a miscarriage or something is going on.

My period was 8 days late and I was having pregnancy symptoms. Fatigue and nausea. Took a HPT and it came out negative. 2 days later I started having a little bit of brown discharge. The next day there was more pink blood and then the next 3 days I had heavy bleeding, clots, and cramping. My husband and I were really discouraged, we've been TTC for 8 months. The bleeding ended about 4 days ago but I still have symptoms. Could I be pregnant? Or am I just psyching myself out? Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
