Has anyone expierenced this??? Any stories are welcome
I am approx. 5 weeks and 6 days today pregnant. I am supose to be 7 weeks at 5 days however,when i had my 1st visit last Tues. they did a sonogram and I was only measuring that far a long. I was thinking that that was okay, cause I do definately believe I ovulated last month when i got pregnant.
My issue is I just had a M/C 6 months ago. Now with this one they have been doing lab work, and monitoring my HCG and progest. levels. My first came back at 111 for HCG and 26 for proges. and then a few days later it went to 419 and my Progest. level dropped to 10.6 They immediately started me on the progesterone cream inserted vaginally 2 tmes the first day and then once from there on out. They didnt test my levels gain until a week later, and I had my 1st appt. and bloodwork. That was Tues they took my blood. On Wed. I started bleeding. Never enough to fill a pad, or even flowing, but bright red sometimes, and then it switches to brown, and sometimes even goes away for a little awhile. I am worried out of my mind, because I have cramping like a menstrual cramp all the time, but nothing that hurts severely to double me over or anything. So, I started bleeding Wed. and then today she calls me and tells me that my Progest. level went down to 6!!!! that is dangerously low, and no wonder why I am bleeding some!! It is supose to be atleast over 10 I thought. So, now she called me in a new prescription cause they are uping the dose to 2 times per day of the vaginal cream. I still have constant cramping, and when i wipe, I still see brown stringy looking blood. I talked to my DR, and he said that because I had an exam and U/W on Tues and saw the heartbeat, he wont give me another U/W until not this tues coming, but the following one because if I am miscarrying, there is nothing he or I can do. He said it would be pointless for him to do another U/W and show me the heartbeat, and then if I miscarry next week, it will be more devastating. He also said that since this bleeding started, I wouldnt have passed the baby yet. Like I said--- its not even flowing, infact the pad I have one just has a few spots on it. The cramping is what is worrying me. So, I upped my dosage today to 2 times, and I am praying for a miracle. Do you think I could be holding on to a pregnancy that shouldnt be, by taking this progesterone?? I am just scared right now, and do not even know what to think. I was hoping someone could give me some insight. Thank you for your thoughts and reading this.

I noticed I wrote 5 m/cs I hit the wrong button it's actually 6. I keep reading stuff wrong and reading things wrong. Since I have become pg I have no brain. Sorry!!!! I hope you are feeling better!
I'm sorry for what you are going through. I have had 5 m/cs and my last one I started bleeding heavy and it didn't stop for 5 days I lost the baby the 1st day of my bleeding. So I don't agree with your dr you absoulutely could have expelled the baby by now but from what you are writing doesn't sound like a m/c at this point. I would rest and try to relax. I had heavy bleeding at 14 weeks with my son I thought I was going to lose him but I had placenta previa a very low placenta. I had to cut my hours down at work and was on pelvic rest. Low numbers and bleeding are not uncommon early on in pg. I would def keep getting your levels checked but I wouldn't panic. If you look at my pg tracker I have cramps all day everyday. It's part of your uterus growing to house your baby. Totally normal. If you don't have pg symptoms dont' panic they come and go. I have had 3 kids all pgs are different. Just take care of yourself and your baby if you are really scared go to the er they can do all the lab work and check out everything. I wish you lots of luck and warm wishes. Take care and let me know what happens!
Oh yeah tylenol is the one med thats completely safe. I've taken tylenol with both my pregnancies. You can actually take two at a time and its perfectly safe.
I spend two wks worrying about my baby and had a u/s just yesterday. Low and behold there was a 9wk old baby with a hb..... so always pray and keep some hope. People can always ovulate at different times than normal. I did with both mine it looks like. Bleeding and cramping can be normal during pregnancy. In fact look it up its an astonishing amount of pregnancies that have bleeding.

is it safe to take the TYLENOL for the cramps? I will take one if that is the case to try to stop this.... I just had an u/s on Tues and saw the heartbeat. I am heartbroken....
I definitely did have bleeding and some cramping. My cramping wasn't severe. My bleeding was just like yours... not spotting but not enough to fill a pad either, well i did fill one pad once but most of the time it wasn't. Best bet is to do exactly what you are doing. lay down with ur feet up and relax for as long as u can. I couldnt do that a whole lot. I have a 14 mo old but DH helps SOOO much. He does everything. Take some tylenol for the cramps.... it'll help
Did you expierence any bleeding, or cramping??? I am sitting here with pillows under my feet, and just having cramps galore. It hurts, and I am uncomfortable, but I am just so scared. Thankgoodness for you that there are miracles. I am hoping for one!!
I think progesterone is a good thing when needed and there is nothing wrong with taking it. Sometimes our bodies just can't keep up in the beginning of pregnancy.
I dont know if you know my story, but the doctors told me I had a 50% chance of miscarrying because of bleeding, a flat sac, and a baby that didn't grow in 8 days. Well everything is fine with me now. the bleeding stopped, the sac fixed itself, and the baby has completely grown everyday for the past two wks and its hb which was kinda on the low side has taken a dramatic increase to the high side.
Not to mention it was taking 4.5 days for my levels to double or more.
I believe in miracles. Everyone should, they happen everyday.
