Q: Don't Know What to Think

It's long but here it goes.....

Okay sat. Night I started having really bad cramps mainly on my left side. So I took some tylonel and blew it off. Then I woke up a lil after midnight and went to bath room wiped myself a few times and there was a lil blood and that was it. So I called my doc. And she said to go to the er. Once I got there they ran blood work, checked me down below, and had two u/s. Well everything came back and I should be around four weeks or so and they couldn't see the baby. So I got put in the hospital over night. So that morning I had more blood work, my hcg went up which I guess is a good thing. I had two more u/s done and still couldn't see the baby. So what has they concerned is they bad cramps I was having. So they came to the conclusion that it is either an eptic pregnancy, the baby may be fine, or i'm going to have a miscarriage. But it's too early to tell, so the doctor said. Said my hcg level has to b above 3,000 before they can see the baby. So I want know what's going on until a couple of weeks. I mean I don't know what to think right now. I'm not really bleeding it's just when I wipe myself and at that it's old blood. Which my doctor said was okay. So my thing is has anyone esle gone through this or know someone who has and can help me? I really want this baby, but I donno what's going to happen. I have to go back to the doctor every other day for blood work and an u/s until they find out what's going on. Someone please help

I have two beautiful little girls - ages 6 and 4. I bled just like that for the first trimester with both of them. It was always brown old blood. It's hard to not worry but if your hcg levels are still going up that's a good thing. In another 2 weeks they should be able to see the heartbeat and after you see the heartbeat the baby has a 98% chance of survival (at least that's what my ob told me.) good luck

Yeah I can't stop worrying, cause I want this baby soo bad. I mean I have a two year old, I had alot of problems with him while I was pregnant. Well my hcg level sunday morning was 1,100 and monday morning it was 1,600. So I guess that's good that is going up. Yeah hopefully they will be able to see something soon. Well I have to go back wed. To a specialist to check my hcg again and hopfully it's went up some more. I have my fingers crossed. I have to go back everyother day for about two weeks as long as my hcg is going up. I hope everything will be fine

I bled enough to wear a panty liner but not enough to come close to soaking it.

Well that's about like me i'm not bleeding that much either. But earlier I started bleeding red blood just a bit turned around twenty minutes later and it was back to brown. So I donno what's going on. My tummy stopped hurting, good thing I guess. I've called my doc. And i'm going to go and see her at 2:15 to see what's going on. I'll post and let ya know. I hope everything is okay
