I am also about 5 weeks pregnant as of now. I am 39 years old and I have uterine fibroids which was causing me alot of back pain. Missed my period and took a hpt, it was positive. Went to DR and was told I was indeed pregnant and they said I farther along than I really thought, Dr said I was 6 weeks on Oct. 19th, Dr was going by my menstual cycle which was Sept 8th, I know for a fact that I conceived the week of sept 22nd, not sept 8th so that made me about 4 weeks along. On Oct 19th I started spotting very light pink discharge, only on the tissue when I wiped.I have had 2 miscarriages before so I was very concerned. I went to ER and they did a U/S vaginally and it hurt like hell! They said they did not see any evidence of a pregnancy in my uterus or in my tubes, but they were thinking I was 6 weeks along. I know I was not that far along and I let them know that. I know you cannot see anything on the U/S when you are that early in pregnancy. I started bleeding after that vaginal U/S a little, bright red blood. I was sent home and was told I had to go to the lab in a few days to get my HCG level tested. my level was at the time 115. Well yesterday 10/22 I started bleeding , I noticed this when I went to the bathroom and the toilet water was red, and the tissue was full of blood, I figured I was having a miscarriage, but it was not like my other miscarriages, absolutly no cramping, just alot of blood. The bleeding stopped within a couple hours, and now its the the next day and Im just passing very little amounts of old brownish colored blood. Still no cramps. I had dreams all night last night about miscarriage and in my dream I could see my babys face perfectly clear!! She was beautiful!! Hopefully it is a sign from God that my baby will be ok. I Called Dr this morning and I have to go today to get my HCG level tested. Hopefully everything is ok!! I want this baby to make it! Has anyone else going through this or has went through this?? Im very worried but trying hard to keep my faith.
I had bleeding at 8 wks with my first, for 3 days. Had ultrasound then & baby was fine!! Just leftover blood & wasnt affecting baby. Really scared me!
I had early m/c back un Feb. It started out as cramping & light bleeding & progressed was confirmed I m/c by blood test & u/s. : ( Goodluck!
Jinxj thank you very much.
lay in bed and get waited on for the weekend. see a doctor for any pain. I had exact same and did that bleeding stopped and I have the coolest 16 year old you could ever meet. just rest up. you could probably use the sleep anyway ;)
Thanks ladies. The bleeding has pretty much stopped at about 3 hours later. I don't have pain so I'm just going to follow the doctor / nurse advice. I did have a very minor cramping but it could also just be that I'm so worried about everything that my stomach was hurting.
I had some spotting when I was around 8 weeks pregnant and now I am 32 weeks. The doctor said there is alot of blood flow down there and a ruptured blood vessel can cause bleeding. I am sure all is fine. As easy as it is for me to say and so much harder to do, try not to stress and worry.
I had bleeding and passed a clot when I was 5 weeks it freaked me out so I went to the er they did a ultrasound blood work and a pap smear. Everything was fine went back 2 days later they did the whole thing again. I'm now 12 weeks and no problems since. I would go to the er for closure even though they can't stop it from happening its good to no.
Typically bleeding without cramping isn't a miscarrying event. I bleed randomly (heavily and fresh) during pregnancy for no apparent reason and have had 2 perfectly healthy children. But if you have cramping with it, that is more worrisome. Always good to get it checked out though! Good luck!
I had bleeding at 6 weeks went to emerg an they told me I had a subcronic hemridge an the baby is fine. I would still go to the hospital to check it out to make sure and get some piece of mind.
