Q: Help
asked by: KeeKee on June 6th, 2005

I am 5 weeks pregnant (confirmed by a Dr. Visit). Last week I got what seems like a regular "period". Everything looked normal on the sonogram for 5 weeks and the Dr.'s can't tell me why I am bleeding. It is too early for the Dr. To tell if there are any problems. My concerns is that my progesterone level is really low (the Dr. Has me on progesterone suppositories) and my hcg level is a little below normal. I had a miscarriage last year and I am afraid that this is leading to the same thing. Please help...Is it normal to get a "heavy period" while pregnant, if so, how long should it last?

Wow, its like its happening all over again. I went through what your going through the only difference with you they saw a baby. With me no. But the doctor thought for me it was too early to see or hear a heart beat so they put me on pregesterone suppositories as well. Unfort. There was no baby. It had expelled itself.

Listen it they say everthing is okay so far and some of your levels are low they are doing everything possible for you to carry the baby along to full term. Just take it easy and try not to stress. I know it's easier said then done but try. You must be scheduled for another appt right?
