I wasn't sure which topic to post this
under but here goes. my LMP was July 9th
so that should make me at 6 weeks
pregnant. I had some concerns because i
was a little crampy and I spotted on Aug
8th after an internal and pap smear my
obgyn did. I was in for a routine exam and
mentioned being a day or two late on my
period so he ran a blood preg test and it
turned out positive. That whole week my
breasts were extremely sore and tender
then this past week they felt completely
normal. The last few days they were sore
on and off. This is my third pregnancy and
by now I was always feeling tired and
nauseated, but I am not. I had 2 hcg
levels done. Aug 16th it was low 2000s and
Aug 18th it was around 3700. Today I had
an ultrasound and they saw the yolk sack
but it measured at just under 5 weeks
which makes no sense to me. I should
definitely be at 6 weeks according to when
i had sex. They are doing another
ultrsound next Tues. Could it be the baby
stopped developing at 5 weeks? My breasts
are slightly tender today, but that is my
only symptom - like i said it comes and
goes. I'm not crampy at all. I'm so
nervous because I really want this baby
and all I can do is wait until my
ultrsound next week to see if the baby
grew at all. Are my coming and going preg
symptoms a sign of miscarriage?
