Q: Pregnant And Bleeding

Help!!!
I'm very confused I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. I've been spotting (brown blood) for nearly a week and having regular cramps. Last night I bled red blood. The doctor said I have an irregular sac and it's possible for miscarriage. Does anyone have any advice. The doctor told me told wait and i'm growing very impatient. Please help.

Dear gizmo,

i guess the reason your doctor has told you to wait is because with an irregular sac things could go either way for you here. It could all pull through and everything will be fine, or you may miscarry. I had an irregular sac 3 - 4 months ago and miscarried. It depends on how bad it is I guess. The fact that you have started bleeding red blood and in pain is not a good sign, and the possibly of you miscarrying now is high. Do you have much lower back pain ? That is a common symptom of miscarriage. I'm sorry it's not going so well gizmo, I know all this is a very stressful and upsetting time for you. Do you have a partner ? How is he feeling about it all ?

Take care,
