5 weeks bleeding & cramping early pregnancy

Hello. Just looking for some advice and someone to talk to. I had what I believed to be my period last week, which started at my usual time and finished at my usual time. Around 5 days later I had bleeding which gradually got heavier throughout the day, which I then had really bad cramping and was in a lot of pain, I thought I would take a pregnancy test and it was postive. The pain passed and eased a few hours later. I then did a clear blue weeks test which said I was 2-3 weeks (which I believe they class as 5 weeks?) which was a shock because I thought I had my period. I contacted my GP who then got me an emergency blood test, which I am now waiting to hear back. From what the receptionist quickly said I would have to have another test? Over the weekend I had another light cramping, I’ve still been spotting on and off and followed by what I think was a small clot. Today I have no cramping and again only light spotting seems to be on and off and more so in the day when I’m doing things. I’ve been very upset over the last few days waiting as it’s been over the weekend although I do have my husband for support, I don’t want to tell family to cause them to worry. I just wondered if anyone had any advice or have been through a similar situation as this is my first time. Thank you x

Update even if it’s just so I can keep track. The HCG level came back at 400 and something which was a little low for what they worked out to be 6 weeks but I know I was 5 weeks when I took the blood test (it was a different doctor telling me results). I am having a repeat test this Friday so🤞 I am hoping my levels will have gone up. If so I will have an early scan. The bleeding has pretty much stopped apart from brown spotting occasionally and my pregnancy test still shows a positive line pretty clearly. I really hope this works out I would be over the moon for a little miracle ❤️

Hi there @Lovelost212 how are you feeling now? What has happened since? I hope you and the baby are ok?

Hello, thank you so much for checking in. You are so kind. Unfortunately I have had a miscarriage. I went for an early scan privately which was very stressful and distressing and unprofessional which gave me no clear answers. My HCG then went up to 1000, so I was referred to EPU who scanned and confirmed I had a miscarriage. I then opted for medical management and am now 3 days after and the bleeding has stopped, so hoping that I can finally heal and move on now, fingers crossed I get a negative result in 3 weeks. It’s been very difficult but the EPU were just lovely and so kind Xx

Oh I'm so sorry to hear 😞 I didn't want to say anything I was hopeful for you. I had a miscarriage at 5ish weeks too when I started bleeding. I'm sorry that nobody was able to help you when you posted. I found your message when I was searching for something and I then saw you must be felt so lost with no replies. I really hope that you make a full recovery soon and that you and your partner get all the support you need. Feel free to write on here and I will reply xx
