Miscarriage?

Question

I missed my period this month and decided to take a pregnancy test. It showed up positive and me and my fiancé were so happy. This app says I am 6 weeks and 5 days. Last Friday I had some light pink spotting, no cramping. Nothing that was out of the ordinary. Then Saturday night the spotting got heavier and turn red. But still no cramping. Bleeding went on for another day and Monday night I had period like cramping and that lasted up until this morning. The cramping stopped but I’m still having bleeding. Little worried. I haven’t went to the doctor yet. I don’t have an appointment until the 30th but I did call my doctor and she said that it’s not uncommon for women to have a period in their first trimester. Just seeing what everyone else might think is going on?

Answer

Not to scare you but I’d be concerned. I had period like cramping at 6 weeks and brushed it off. At 7 weeks I began brown spotting and insisted on hcgs. I was 3524 and then 4100- didn’t double at all and the spotting continued to a faint bleed. They did an ultrasound and baby was fine. The bleeding continued and increased to red, another hcg 4800 and good ultrasound were done. Two days after the last ultrasound I lost my baby. I had a few clots and then period like pleading and cramps, went to have an ultrasound and the heart rate was 40 and dropping. I passed the baby that night. 
What I learned was although bleeding can be COMMON, it’s not NORMAL. Always be persistent and get checked out, even if it means going to the ER. Your body is trying to tell you something, and while many who bleed go on to have a healthy beautiful baby (and I hope you do!) many do not.
