I started spotting at the beginning of the 5th week of my pregnancy. The next morning I woke up to a small puddle of blood. That day I bled like I was having a mild period. I could not fill a pad in an entire day but it was more than spotting. There were tiny clots also. Every time I go to the bathroom I see blood when I wipe. This has been going on for 3 days now. I am having NO pain. I am not 6 weeks for 2 more days so an ultrasound would be pointless. The doctor said the only thing we can do is measure hCG levels. I had my blood drawn today & will have it drawn again the day after tomorrow to see if the levels have doubled. All of my pregnancy symptoms have disappeared within the last 2 days.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did it turn out?
I have been in touch with a doctor since the day I started bleeding. The bleeding started Friday night so I had to wait until Monday (today) to get my blood drawn. Doctors never said it was necessary to go to the hospital over the weekend.
