Q: Odd Symptoms, Doctor Not Interested.

Hello.
By my calculations I am supposed to be
about eight weeks along, but have been
having odd symptoms for the last week or
so.
I am having sharp abdominal pains in the
same place every so often, say once or
twice a day. Interspersed with that are
occasional period like cramps. Over the
weekend I had a very small bleed, a flash
of red then a little browner mucous. I
have since had spots of the brown coloured
mucous when wiping after using the loo.
My doctor wasn't overly concerned with
this, but has told me to go back if I am
worried.
Coupled with the fact that my initial
pregnancy tests were a little on the faint
side of positive and it took a week for my
positive blood test to come back, I am
starting to think that this pregnancy
might not be destined to continue.
Now my feelings on this are incredibly
mixed, as I am in an odd situation at home
right now. I'm not in the best position
to be pregnant, however losing the child
through either miscarriage or termination
(as my partner would like) will hit me
hard. I am between the proverbial rocks
and hard place.
Any advice on my symptoms would be very
much appreciated.
