id go to the er and check if you are really concerned and tell your doctor what you want when you go to your appointments and ask why when they dont do what you ask. no harm in asking questions or making sure your baby is ok. i bled when i was early in my pregnancy and quickly went to the er thinking the worst. i got the answers i was looking for, so maybe you will too.

Honey im sorry but you may have miscarried..
I really hope for the best for you and I hate to just say it like that it seems insensitive but it happened to me at 10 weeks in November.. well I was supposed to be 12 weeks but the babies size and the baby had no heartbeat it had passed away at 10 sometimes i think theres no easy way to tell yo u straight up so he is just doing the matter of fact thing and trying to show you with physical evidence something is wrong drs are human they feel compassion and news like that is very hard to give someone

Why don't you just go to the emergency room.? They'll do an ultrasound there on the spot. When I was 9 weeks we didn't hear a heartbeat we only seen the flicker. I'm 11weeks and we barely heard the heartbeat on Wednesday. I never had blood drawn or a hcg level count. I only got blood drawn this week to check my prenatals. I have to wait another 4 weeks til another ultrasound.
