Right I need some advice....I'm about 4weeks pregnant and iv'e had two bleeds,after the 1st bleed my hcg hormone only went up by 50%...The second testing showed it had doubled which is great news...That was 2days ago and I went for another scan today but she still couldn't see anything...Can the scan pick up babys or the sacks when your less than 6weeks???One of the nurses said it couldn't....I'm having no pain and I am showing signs of an early pregnany but i'm petrified and panicking to death that it might be an ectopic pregnancy...Please help to reasure me...I will hear later on tonight about 8:00 if my hormone has doubled again or not...I bet it hasn't...Please help me.

I have never been pregnant, but my friend is high risk pregnancy, and she got a u/s at 5 weeks. I seen the pic and it was just a little sac, very small. Maybe the equipment they were using could not pick it up. If the nurse told you they can't I would listen to her. Don't panic hun. I'm sure everything will work out. Good luck. Keep us posted!

Ive heard they cant pick up the baby until at least 6 weeks...

How come you had one that early? Was it because of the bleeds? Sorry for asking but im week 7 and not had one, ive been lead to believe you dont have ultrasounds until weeks 8-12 (and I notice youre from england too so know it isnt a foreign thing!!)

First, calm down. Being stressed doesn't help you are the baby. Second, many women experience bleeding throughout their pregnancy (especially early on) and have otherwise easy pregnancies, and healthy kids. The cramps you are feeling are probably just your uterus stretching.

Remember that your doctor will know a lot more about your situation than any of us. Trust them, and be sure to get a second opinion if you are still scared.

I've had an ectopic pregnancy. I spotted a day when I was 4 weeks but they said it was normal.And when I was 6 weeks pregnant I started to have really bad cramping to the point I couldn't sleep or move for like a whole week straight but I thought i't was common during early pregnancy.Plus I didn't want to think it was that serious. But then 2 weeks later I suddenly bled bright red blood when I went to go use the bathroom. And I started feeling really lightheaded.But then the bleeding stopped so I went to the hospital the next day.
They gave me an u/s and couldn't see the baby. They draw blood from me and they said my hcg level was really high . They woulda seen the baby ...But the wierd thing was they saw some blood in my stomach. So I had to go through surgery right away. I had to abort the baby in order so I wouldn't bleed to death. Now they said it's kinda harder for me to concieve again because one of my tubes is damaged.Kinda still sad about because I was looking foward for this baby to come into this world.

But best wishes to you I hope you wouldn't have to go through what I had to go through...

I've Been There Too . . . .
Just wanted to say, I know exactly how you feel and i'm sure right now all you want is to be left alone! However, when I read what you'd been through, I just had to contact you.
I've had two miscarriages, one at 10 weeks and one at 6 weeks. No words of comfort are available and it feels like your heart is breaking, despite however good your family or friends are.
All I can say is it will get better in time.
I'm now pregnant again - 8 weeks, but i've just had some spotting of old blood, i'm currently terrified, waiting to see if anything should develop to ruin my chances again. But I had to get in touch, to say I am thinking of you.
