heavy bleeding and cramps 3 weeks pregnant Posted: 05-16-08 22:46pm
I had a miscarriage on easter of 2007. I
just found out I was pregnant again 2 days
ago. I am only about 2-3 weeks along, and
now I am having slightly heavy bleeding
and cramps. I don't think I can go
through another miscarriage. Is there any
way I could not be
having a miscarriage?

I'm so sorry for your previous loss!
How could you be only 2 or 3 weeks along
and know you were pregnant, hun? When you
ovulate, you would be technically about
two weeks along (if you had a "normal" 28
day cycle), and then you wouldn't even
become pregnant for a while after that.
You don't even usually find out until
you're about 4 weeks along because this is
when the body first begins producing hcg,
the hormone home pregnancy tests detect.

Well my last period started April 14th,
and just this past week i was feeling
sick, so I took a hpt and it said
negative, in the morning a second line
showed up but very lightly so i went to
the doctors that day and did a urine test
and it said negative so she did a blood
sample just in case and it came back
positive she said the hcg levels were very
low and i was really early. so i guess i
am 4 weeks? I am really scared though. Is
there any way to have cramping and
slightly heavy bleeding and not be
miscarrying?
Thank you.

Oh, I see. It is possible you could be 3
weeks pregnant I suppose if a blood test
is what confirmed it.
Oh hun, I feel so bad for you. Cramping I
think would be fine, people often feel
crampy like their period is right around
the corner. But bleeding is not okay.
What color is the blood?
I wouldn't take any chances, I'd call my
doctor right away. Sometimes when you
find out really early that you're
pregnant, these things happen I'm so very very
sorry.
Remember that nearly half of pregnancies
are thought to result in a miscarriage and
most people never even knew they were
pregnant because it happens so very early,
and it seems just like a normal period.
I wish you the absolute best, and please
update after you've spoken with your
doctor!
to me it sounds like a heavy period but
get a blood test

well thank you. The cramping has gone away
and I've just been laying in bed. But I am
still bleeding, its just like when I am on
my period. I was just going to wait and
call the doctor on Monday but do you
suggest I go to the hospital or something
instead?

It is like a dark purple red sorta. it
looks just like when I am on my period.
and when i start my period my cramps are
usually so bad that i am sick to my
stomach and cannot move, and these weren't
that bad. But other than that everything
is the same as if i was just having my
period. So I dk. I am trying to stay
positive and hoping everything is okay.
And just laying around and taking it easy.
I'm so very very
sorry.
