(Accidentally posted in pregnancy, sorry)
Hi all. I am supposedly 6+3 weeks.
Today I went to the EPU because I had bad cramping and a slight spot over the weekend (I'll admit I did over exaggerate the pain level and perhaps just wanted to be reassured my baby was okay after miscarrying a few months back).
Since I found out I was pregnant on the 16th September, nothing seemed 'right'. I've not gotten a single symptom and I did have sore breasts, but that's all disappeared.
The doctor wanted an ultrasound because he wasn't happy with how uncomfortable I was with her touching the right hand side of my lower abdomen/uterus. She suspected an eptopic and said she'd be looking for the sac to be in the right location.
I had the scan, and the doctor came along with me. The sonographer said the pregnancy was indeed in the correct place (so highly unlikely to be eptopic), but what I found unusual was that the sac was a tiny pinprick! I even had to say myself 'that doesn't look like a six week scan' and her reply was no looks much earlier than that. My bloods came back and they were just 800, which I've looked up and appears abnormal for a 5/6 week pregnancy, yet my doctor didn't comment upon that and just asked for me to return for bloods in 48 hours ensure they go up.
Before I left the hospital I went to the loo and when I checked my cervix (not when I wiped or anything), there was a little string of blood and I've got this blood tinged discharge ever since! Why did the spotting stop Sunday and all of a sudden today after a Tranvaginal scan I'm bleeding? Can those scans cause minor bleeding because the cervix is sensitive?
The issue is this, I can't be less than a good 5/6 weeks, because I've known since the 16th September! Does this automatically mean my pregnancy will end in a miscarriage and hasn't developed properly?
I feel like a selfish cow for exaggerating symptoms for a scan, but it seems as if I've now paid my dues and got my just deserts sad
Even if my HcG levels DO double, that's still not normal to see a tiny pin prick of a sac at 5/6 weeks, is it?
Thank you all, this is so so hard for me, as I can imagine it is for everyone xxxxx
