Spotting should be a sign of implantation spotting. My wife had that a week ago monday and found out she was pregnant this past fri aswell.

I would not think that you are 7 weeks as of yet, more like 3-5. But see what your doc has to say. He will mostlikly check your HCG levels and then again 2 days later to see if it doubles. Good luck!

cramping is very normal in the 1st couple of weeks...5-10 maybe. I had cramping for about 3 weeks. But I had no spotting at all. That may be why the doctor is worried. But like a previous poster said, it could be implantation bleeding. Some women have this. Wait to see your doctor before you get too worried. He can check your levels to make they are increasing like they should. If they decrease then there could be something wrong with the pregnancy.

Best wishes and try not to worry to much.

What if your levels do not double and you still feel pregnant? i should be 7 weeks i kinda had the same thing happen to me...my levels were only 30 then they dropped to 20 and then went up to 21 and i go back tomorrow to see what they are now...they won't do an ultrasound and my cervix was closed when i started bleeding...and i did not see any abnormal tissue...i am just so fustrated, and confused!

Are you saying your HCG levels were only 30, then 20 and then 21???

If you are 7 weeks your levels would be alot higher then 30.... More like a possible 100,000 but not 30.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope it comes out good for you tomorrow.

yeah..but they say i am still pregnant and that they can not say anything for sure because the levels are not below 5...but is it possible that i am only 2 weeks or 3 weeks...maybe i ovulated at a later time than like may 18!?

There's no such thing as 2 weeks pregnant. At 2 weeks pregnant, you're ovulating. The egg is only just being released from your ovary and hasn't implanted in your uterus yet.

At the time of your missed period, you're considered 4 weeks pregnant.

yeah but the hospital told me that i was 2 weeks pregnant. because of my hormome levels. idk...that is why i think that i am so confused...nothing makes any since that the doctors tell me. I feel like i am just getting the run around. don't you think that they would do an ultrasound to see what is going on?

You wouldn't have hormone levels if you were just ovulating. If you're talking about hCG, your body wouldn't be producing it at 2 weeks pregnant because it wouldn't even be pregnant yet. The egg would only just be fertilized and it would be traveling down your fallopian tube - it wouldn't even be in your uterus yet. Your body would NOT be making the hormone.

If they were talking about 2 weeks gestation, that's 4 weeks pregnant. That's the point where you first miss your period. At 4 weeks along, there's nothing to see on ultrasound just yet. The egg is too small to be seen. The earliest a pregnancy can usually be detected via ultrasound is around 5 weeks - and all they would see is a sac, not a baby.

Your hormone levels should be detectable via urine or blood test by now, and your hCG levels should be doubling. The fact that they're hovering around the 20's and 30's is troubling. It's very possible that your doctors are doing the wait-and-see approach to see if you miscarry or if maybe you're not as far along as they thought.

okay yeah well thats helps alot...i mean this is my first time ever getting pregnant so i don't know much about all of this..but yeah i mean the aver. HCG levels they said for 2 weeks was 30 to something..idk..but like you said about not being pregnant at 2 weeks makes sense..all that stuff just confuses me. but with my last period being may 18 would be me being like 7 weeks right? i mean don't you think that they would want to do an untra sound just to know what going on? i mean that makes since to me! IDK..i mean i didn't bleed or cramp the way they said that it would feel like and with my cervix being closed during all the bleed and cramping..that is a good sign right? I have prayed a lot and i want this so bad. I am refusing to accept that i am miscarring! Do you think that the baby is okay though. I go back tomorrow to find out my hormone levels again, so i am waiting on a good feedback!

It really depends on when you ovulated. If you're 7 weeks along, your hCG level should NOT be 30, and your pregnancy would be detectable via transvaginal ultrasound. If the levels are around 30, it's either because you're losing the pregnancy or because it's so early on. An ultrasound this early would be pointless - there's nothing to see yet.

All you can really do is wait until tomorrow when they recheck your levels. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

well i just wanted to say thanks for all you advice...i have lost the baby, but we are going to try again soon. You have been great about trying to explain things to me even though i am kinda stubren and what not! Thanks again
