What could happen?

Hi there,

I did a home pregnancy test last week Saturday and they were positive. We were really excited! I went for blood tests this past Tuesday to see how far long I was and the test showed I was 4 weeks. This past Friday I started bleeding heavily and rushed to the Doc straight away. They tested my progesterone levels which were 60. This past Saturday I went for a scan. The scan shows that the baby is still there but the scan says I am 6 weeks 4 days? I have still been spotting slighting every now and again. Should I be concerned?

I had a lot of blood for probably about 30mins if that... That was at 6:30 am at 8:30 am I was at the Doctor... Drew blood at 9 to test my progesterone which was 60 which is rather high I think for so early... The following day at 13h10 I had my scan and the baby was still there. All I can do now is be positive and believe that God is on our side!
Going for my next scan next week some time :)

I've been spotting for 9 months during my two pregnancies. If it's not a large amount then I wouldn't worry but keep your doctor posted. It seemed like I was always spotting when it was supposed to be my period. I asked doctor to put me on progesterone to help the baby adjust in the uterus. maybe you should do the same. I am on my 5th pregnancy now, after two miscarriages, and also was on progesterone. All seems to be good now and no spotting. But it was pretty heavy at the beginning.

well if the baby is still there and theres a heartbeat  I'd say everything is ok . this has happened to me but sadly I lost my baby.  Ive heard alot of stories about women who bleed heavy while pregnant .every women is different. If the spotting continues I would see your doc again just to make sure everything is still ok. good luck :)
