I had missed my period and had all the
symtoms of being pregnant, but got a
negative home test. I went to the doctors
on Wednesday for blood work and it came
back postive that i am pregnant. Last
night i started to bleed and it was brown,
as if it was old blood from maybe left
over period from last month. Today it got
worse and it's like having my period, red
blood, regular flow. No cramping really,
just the slight cramping ive had for a
week now from the uterus stretching. I
already had implantation spotting last
week before my missed period, what could
this bleeding be? Should i be worried
about a miscarriage? It's started to slow
down tonight, i took another blood test
today to check my levels, i get results on
monday. I still have morning sickness,
sore breasts and all the other wonderful
signs of pregnancy, (my breasts started to
just get sore today) should i be really
worried? I'm so nervous, i'm only 5 weeks
along. Any advice? I've heard some women
do bleed through out pregnancy and theres
no explanation for it, it usually stops.

Everywhere that i've read online from the
medical webpages it says the slight
cramping is okay. Most of them say this
"Cramping that is similar to menstrual
cramps occurs very early during pregnancy
and happens when the uterus begins to
expand to make room for the embryo to
develop into a fetus that continues to
develop for a total of 40 weeks gestation
when your baby is born."
Thanks so much for your input though, i
have seen the dr. and i'll get my results
on monday morning to see if my levels have
gone up. I'm so scared, hope for the best
for me!

Though red blood can mean trouble, your
baby may be just fine. If you have a lot
of blood or any clots, then I would call
the doctor right away. I had some bright
red blood when I was pregnant with my 2nd
child. I was freaked out and went to the
dr, and everything was just fine. She is
now 3! If you are still having pregnancy
symptoms, it shows that you are still
producing hormones. There just may be a
problem with how much you are producing.
They may opt to give you hormone
injections or pills to help you out if you
aren't producing enough. Just try and
take it easy as much as possible until you
find out your test results! Stay off your
feet! It's a good reason to get pampered
anyway! Let me know how your test turns
out!

It's not too soon to get cramping. While
not everyone has it, many women feel as if
they are going to start their period at
any moment. Really all you can do at this
point is just relax and put your feet up.
At this point in pregnancy, if you were
miscarrying there is nothing a doctor
could do so you are doing the best thing
by resting. It could very well be nothing
so just relax. Please let us know how the
results turn out tomorrow.

Today i went to the doctor, my results for
the HcG was 5. They did an additional
test and once again it was at 5. They
told me i must've had a miscarriage...yet
when i bled i never passed any clots or
tissue, which doesnt make sense to me. Im
still expierencing symtpoms and i will be
going to a different doctor on the 31st
for a follow up and another blood test.
I'm praying that something went wrong with
the blood test, the hospital i've been
going to isn't the best and they were
extremely rude to me about the whole
thing, they didnt even offer a follow up
blood test to make sure or a D&C, all
the said was your levels haven't gone up,
you must've had a miscarriage, bye and
they hung up on me. I'm so upset and
hurt...this is an awful feeling.
