A little bit of spotting can be normal but may be a warning sign. Try not to stress because this only makes matters worse. Talk to your Doctor about a pregnenolone supplement (Not DHEA!) for a short period of time, just to get you past the seven to ten week mark. You may also want to start using a natural progesterone cream. Renewed Balance by AIM is safe and effective.
Start with less than the prescribed amount and gradually increase to the prescribed amount. Try to apply the cream around the same time every day and to not skip a day here or there. You want to keep your hormone levels as stable as possible. If you are a smoker, stop smoking immediately! Also be extra careful of caffeine at this time. You are not supposed to consume caffeine during pregnancy. Vitamin D also protects against a miscarriage, so try a bit of relaxing sunbathing. Without sunscreen and during the sun-safe hours. I wish you all of the best! And I hope this helps,

It could just be spotting....however you cannot rule out a chemical pregnancy. I suggest going to your doctor and asking them to draw blood and test your hcg levels. That should give u a indication weither your pregnancy is viable or not. Hope all is ok. Try not to worry, more often its nothing more then just a little spotting.
