Has this happened to you?????

so...im 20 years old and am already on my third pregnancy..i had a miscarriage in 2007 and a more recent one this past october on the 27th.  I found out in the beginning of this month that I am pregnant once again.  I went to the doctors and have had an ultrasound that showed the fetus with a very strong heart beat and would put me at 8 weeks tomorrow, but I have been to the emergency room about 5 times during this pregnancy.  At first i was having light brown spotting which i tried to just think of as normal because i know that happens to alot of people during their pregnancies..but then now it will be light brown spotting with some clots during the day and heavier bright red blot with very dark red/brownish clots at night.  I also have a little bit of cramping..nothing major at all but...is any cramping really ok during early stages of pregnancy?!?!  I am so scared that I am having a miscarriage just because of the history I have with them and I try to stay calm but I dont know what else to think.  My levels keep going up and right now they are in the 5000's which one doctor told me is ok for 8 weeks while another told me it was way to low.   Has anyone gone through this and had a positive outcome????  I really jus need some reassurance because I want this baby so bad.

*hoping my prayers will be answered*

This is the first time I am on this site.. and it broke my heart to read your story. I hope all is going well for you and that from 2010 to now you would have conceived a beautiful baby. I too had a miscarriage and boy is it heartbreaking.. I lost my baby at 12 weeks back in 2008 a year later I gave birth to a beautiful son. But still think and cry over the one I lost. My heart goes out to all those wonderful ladies who try and want to get pregnant but God just has another plan.

thank you all for your support and your optimism....but i lost the baby on the 29th...i hate military hospitals, they dont do **** and they really dont care.  i went t o the hospital and told them i was having a miscarriage i had to sit in the waiting room for an hour then when i went back the nurse came in the room and asked me what i was here for i told her i was having a miscarriage and she said to me " well what did you come here for, what do you want us to do, give you some medicine or what?"  i had never been more mad in my life and i wanted to kick that ladies *** but im only an A1C and she def has more rank on me (shes an officer)....so that coulda just got me kicked out of the Air Force.....

on top of that,i am still in sooooooo much pain i dont want to move, my  husband is not being supportive at all..i have no family or friends out here and im just all alone..you guys on here are all i have.  thank you for everything!

*much love to you all*

No it should just resolve sometime before the 20th week. I stopped bleeding at the end of week 10 but started at week 5. It just depends on the person.

My bleeding was from a subchorionic hematoma as well which is actually a very common reason for bleeding in early pregnancy. It means that you have a cut in your uterine wall probably from implantation. My doctor said that in the 20 something years she had been a doctor that she had never not seen one resolve itself by the 20th week.

Thank you all very much for your support and your stories ( i love this site)  

@alaysha
umm they told me that i had a subchronial? hemmorage and thats probably why i was bleeding but that was when it was the brownish color..then it turned bright red now and they have no idea why its that color. some people act like its ok while others scare me so bad that im miscarrying.

Thank you maam.  Yes, I have been to the doctors and I am considered a high risk pregnancy. I cannot be on bed rest bc I am in the military and I dont think that they would put me on "quarters" for this.  ive tried making appts but they keep telling me to go to the er, i go and the er tells me evrythings fine and to follow up with the obgyn.  when i call the obgyn they never want to have a follow up bc everything on the ultrasound looks ok and theres a heartbeat...its so frustrating!!  I do have an appt tomorrow to get my levels checked again so hopefully they have gone up.  Its just very scary..and about the "clots" its not really clots but i didnt know what else to call them..its like (sorry for this) but it looks like little pieces of dried up blood and sometimes its flaky..like idk what it is.

I had a MC and then got pregnant again 4 weeks later. I had bring red bleeding worse than a period with clots and cramping from weeks 5-10 and now have a healthy 3 year old to show for it. Cramping is extrememly normal in early pregnancy and it doesn't matter what your level is at but that it doubles every 48-72 hours. Also seeing a heartbeat significantly lowers the chance of MC. I know its hard but try to relax since it appears that everything is progressing as it should. Do they know where the bleeding is coming from?

I know exactully what your going through. I am 21 on my 4th pregnancy at 14 weeks with two very recent m/cs. One missed and one normal both at 12+ week.  
With this pregnancy i have had alot of bleeding and some very bad cramps to go with it. The bleed is sometimes brown spotting and sometimes red gushes but the dr assures me that it is very common. Even the red bleeding. It could be the placenta digging in further to get a better supply for the baby or in my case it could be the remainder of my AF as the bleeding comes and lasts just like my normal Af...
So far i have not needed bedrest but i have to say it does cause worry ( alot of worry) but the best thing to do is keep calm. And have some liners ready..

My heart goes out to you:-) While I have never experienced this, I just wanted to give some advice. I would (just to be on the safe side) make an appt. The brownish spotting doesn't concern me it is the clots that have my eyebrows raised. You would be considered a "high risk pregnancy" because of your past miscarriages. You may need bed rest through your pregnancy. I would definitely make and emergency appt with your OBGYN and have a serious conversation with him/her about your options once you have confirmation everything is ok with your baby. Good luck:-) and please keep us posted!
