Pregnancy Info HOME

Mine happened very quickly, I was about 5.5 - 6 weeks along. I started spotting on a Sunday at around 4 pm - at first it was just a very faint streak of pink...then brown by about 8pm....then by midnight it was full-out bright red blood, like a menstrual period. When the spotting started I went straight to the ER and had bloodwork done which showed that my hcg level was lower than expected. Two days later I had another blood test which showed that my levels were falling by 50%...this confirmed the m/c. By Wednesday I was bleeding very heavily, and passed a clot. All bleeding and spotting was done within 10 days, I guess because it was so early in the pregnancy that there wasn't much tissue to pass.
Don't let yourself get too freaked out....the doctor in the ER told me that I could be totally fine, that bleeding alone doesn't mean that a m/c is imminent. Like Susan, many people do bleed throughout the pregnancy. The only way to know for sure is to see whether your hcg levels are continuing to rise quickly (through blood tests). Wishing you the best.
