questions please help ladies :)

hey seems this is always where i turn to lately when i need advice since getting into my doctor takes forever... so i went to apointment with my doctor and she reviewed my ultrasound report with me besides no heartbeat at 6 weeks everything was good she said good yolk sack and the fetus measured 6 weeks 2 days and looked good she did say there was a subchronic something in there which explained the bleeding i cant exactly remember what she said as she has a very strong accent and then she sent me for my blood work and urine test i did those on saturday at the hospital but im very confused i thought i was miscarrying but when i bleed it will come bright red very dark and slowly taper off to brown after a day and then stay brown with very very very small clots and is almost gone then all of a sudden it comes back bright red again i had this before at 4 weeks and 6 weeks right before my ultrasound if i am still pregnant id be 7 weeks 5 days and its happening again bleeding but slowly getting lighter im very confused i have a little bit of cramping but nothing truly hurting me and i have not passed any tissue at all yet from the fetus just the small clots and blood... im looking for anyone who has had a miscarriage or this subchronic thing to kinda help me out here is this how your miscarriage went or whats going on im so confused??

yes thats sooo scary and thats my reason for another opinion i didnt want to be like that i want to give the pregnancy a healthy chance and giving as they said my baby had no heartbeat on the 7th when i went for my u/s u would think ten days later i would have passed something or at least bigger clots right??? my doctor said i should have been 9 weeks by my u/s date( which i knew was not right) and thats makes it even crazier that would mean baby hasnt been alive in there for like a month and i still have passed nothing???.......this to me just makes no sense at all he was clearly way off as i have very irregular periods . sometimes doctors just refuse to listen though

I know its the waiting that does your head in, thats the hardest part I think, I just wonder how many ladies go off and have the d&c done without questioning it, and it was actually a viable pregnancy just the dates were out abit.....scary thought

You never get a d&c when they cant find the heartbeat that early, always go back for a second u/s a week or two later as alot of the time its to early to find one, even at 6wks as they way they give you your estimate, can be out by a few days or a week, if they wont give you another u/s blood work is the next option, which you are doing, I would relax (harder said than done I know ) and see if you can get another u/s in a week as well

When mine was found they put me on bed rest until it went away and even now at 16 weeks I am not supposed to get overheated and I have to take frequent breaks.
