Bleeding... Please Read/give Feedback... I Need It!
Posted: 10-19-06 15:59pm

I posted on here when I found out I was pregnant. I had low hcg counts and was nervous for them to rise, since I have had two miscarriages in the past. My doc put me on progesterone suppositories and I take 1 baby aspirin a day... Everything has been going good since (levels rising and baby growing/ultrasound)... Then sunday I started spotting. I stayed calm; my Dr. Had warned me this might happen because on the last ultrasound they could see “free fluid.” it was very light and brownish red, which I heard can be fine... Then right before bed I went to the bathroom and bright red blood was dropping out. It slowed down and I decided to call the doctor first thing in the morning. I went in and saw him and he immediately said everything was fine come back in two weeks, wait and see... I insisted on lab work and an ultrasound though. The ultrasound looked fine and the lab work said my progesterone had gone down from 34 to 28... Which my doctor said is fine. So I have spotted since then, but today I am bleeding again and having sharp cramping pain. I feel very heavy down there, too, if that makes sense. I am scared. Could this still be normal bleeding? It is like the first day of a period for me. And I am having a constant pain in my very lower left side...

I am 9 weeks... My first m/c happened at 9 and the second 10 weeks... With both I had no symptoms.

Any advice???? Please give opinions!!!

Yeah with sharp pains I think you need to go back to the doctor..Or another doctor for a second opinion. I bled alot during the first part of my pregnancy, but I never had any sharp pains...That doesnt sound normal at all. Im sorry Sad.

I thought bright red blood was a red flag. I'm surprised he dismissed it.

Honestly, .I'd head to the .E.R and tell them you think you're having a miscarriage. I wouldn't trust that doctor.

If it were me? I'd be there already.

Pregnacy+ bleeding +pain +previous miscarriages? I'd be there like a shot.

Hope it turns out to be nothing.

He said again everthing looks normal after he examined me and the pains are normal. I am really frustrated. The bleeding and pain stopped last night... I think if it was really bad it would be getting worse, right???

Bottom line... I am finding a new doctor asap!! And taking it easy.

Thank you all for helping not feel crazy! I'll keep you posted Smile
