Early Pregnancy Bleeding

[concern22419]

So I found out four days ago I was positive for pregnancy and my HCG level was 110. Since then, two days after that I had light cramping and spontaneous brownish spotting. Its not like a period its just scary for me because I really want a healthy pregnancy and not a MC. I went to my local ER and there was a PA on duty and she said because she didn"t see anything on ultrasound...which my obgyn said you norm. wouldn't until atleast 5wk and internet said it too. And my level they took at that point was 330...more than doubled. My regular obgyn said not to  take it too seriously or too lightly and I am going tomorrow for more blood work...what should I be feeling relief or scared...anyone have same issues???

You need to drink lots of water to get rid of all that old blood that your passing and put your feet up! Don't stress about it just relax. I know easier said than done!!! Good luck sweetie!

Hi there,

I really sympathise.  I have been having the same problem.  This is my first pregnancy and I'm only 5.5 weeks.  I have been having very light spotting for a week (mostly brown, sometimes red).  I had mild cramps in the beginning but have not had any for a few days.  My pregnancy symptoms (tender breasts and morning sickness) have continued and gotten worse!  I called the Dr but the receptionist told me it was norman and that I didn't need to see the DR!!   I guess I just have to wait and hope for the best......  Has anyone else experienced this and came out ok?!

P.S. You level's look great! And within another week or 2 they should be doubling... And your correct, it is sometimes very hard and sometimes impossible to see the baby at 5 weeks.. Sometimes it takes as long as 6-10 weeks.....

I wouldn't worry to much about it hon... As long as you are not bleeding heavily, or cramping you are fine hon..... Your body is adjusting to you being pregnant, and therfore changes in your cervix can cause you to spot.. Its perfectly normal for you to spot when your pregnant.... Don't fret, everything is fine..... CONGRATS!

Try not to worry but just know that bleeding can be a not good thing. i have brown spotting and very slight cramping with both of my miscarriages and my levels were doubling as well in the beginning. its good to be prepared for what CAN happen. A miscarriage is devestating and i hope your luck is much better than mine.

You have got to relax. Worrying is not helpful. As a mother of one and this being my 4th pregnancy I understand that m/c is something we don't want.

Your numbers are doubling which is great. If your are newly pregnant it is hard to detect anything on U/S.

One thing that is hard to swallow is that if m/c is going to happen that there is not much we can do about it. 1 in 4 pregnancy ends in m/c. Many times we carry to miscarry and we didn't even know we did because we treat as if it were a normal menstural cycle.

Put your trust and faith in God. You are probably too early, to see a little sac on U/S.

Good lucj and God Bless

i wouldnt worry to much about it as long as your not having major cramps and heavy bleeding, your numbers are doubling so thats a good sign, try to relax and take it easy,
