I'm 5 weeks pg, but I've had some bleeding on and off for a week now. Not heavy, and not continuous. Just the odd smear when I go to the loo. I haven't had any pain really, just the odd twinge which I've put down to my uterus stretching a bit. I still feel quite pg, feeling nauseas quite a bit and boobs are feeling full and tingly.
I've just been to see the GP and he said to go to the EPU at my local hospital next week when I'll be 6 weeks gone for an early scan to check things over. Is it worth waiting until 7 weeks? How much will I really see or find out at 6 weeks? If I'm miscarrying there's nothing I can do about it, but if I'm not miscarrying, won't they have a much better idea of what's going on at 7 weeks? I know lots of people on here have had early scans at the 6 week mark and have been told to come back a week later to check growth, but that week must be agony in between. What would you do?
The EPU have a walk in system, no appt necessary so I can go when ever....
