I actually came on to post similar.
Based on my menstrual cycle and ovulation date, I should be 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. I hadn't been to the OBGYN yet because, ironically, I had already been twice last month to test for fibroids. My period was due the day of the fibroid u/s and never came.
But I started bleeding on Saturday. Not as much as a period, but very noticeable and constant. I've filled several light- regular tampons each day. The blood is bright. The darker/ browner the blood, the more "ok" it's supposed to be. The brighter, heavier, and more clots the more potentially bad.
I called my OBGYN yesterday and they had me come in right away. They did an internal u/s and found a gestational sac of 5 weeks, which to me meant the baby had stopped growing.
But the u/s tech kept saying there was no sign of a hemorrhage or bleed inside my uterus. Apparently, when you're having a miscarriage they can tell by the state of your uterus.
The u/s tech, nurse, and OBGYN all assured us that it looked like a very normal 5 week pregnancy, and that they think I just ovulated late. They're calling it implantation bleeding, even though it's like a light period. Since I didn't test until a week after I expected my period, I guess it's possible, but I keep going back to the dr's words on that fibroid u/s when she told me that my "endometrial lining looks fluffy, and that probably means your period is due" (the period that never came).
So yesterday was DH's bday and obviously he was very relieved (over the moon, actually. Sent the u/s pic of the sac to all of his coworkers 🙄) and, you know, we "celebrated" pretty good.
But I'm still bleeding and dropping tiny clots and now I'm cramping like crazy. My OBGYN won't see me for another 2 1/2 weeks and I'm nervous AF, mostly because DH is SO excited like this isn't our 4th kid. I don't want him to believe there's a baby for 2 weeks and it's gone. But then I think maybe the celebrations and u/s just made it worse?
I never bled more than a day with any of my other 3 😬 and ofc Google searches only kept coming up "miscarriage, miscarriage". But the dr literally just told me yesterday that it wasn't. I don't know how to feel, or if I should try to get another opinion.
