Spotting at 6/8? weeks pregnant

[St613]

Hi, first time posting on a forum like this. I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced this. I was spotting a bit week 5 and I went for a scan and they said there's only a yolk sac, so to come for another ultrasound in 2 weeks. At least they confirmed it was not ectopic.

I went for the second ultrasound yesterday, and they said there is now a heartbeat, but the age of the pregnancy shown on the scan (6 weeks) does not match with the dates I have given if my last period (8 weeks) which is strange if my period is fairly regular (which it is). The whole day yesterday after the ultrasound (vaginal) I've been spotting much heavier.

I also have a bit of lower back pain now..

The 2 week discrepancy together with the spotting and back pain is worrying me. I feel silly going to epu for a scan if I've only just had one yesterday. Does this mean things are not progressing well and I'll miscarry?

It might all still be fine, some women do bleed and have successful pregnancies. But in your situation I'd be bracing for this to turn into a miscarriage as the symptoms are increasing x

Even if your period is regular it doesn’t always mean you ovulate on day 14. When did you first get a positive pregnancy test? Were you tracking ovulation?

I was not tracking ovulation but I have an app that estimates my ovulation based on all my information. I'm very consistent with putting in my information. It estimated ovulation on day 17 (from my flow start)

I guess I'm just feeling a bit guilty. I've been doing Crossfit for the last 10 months which is a bit intense. I couldn't get hold of my doctor so I asked my trainer if it's OK to continue, and he said many women continue throughout pregnancy and just to take it easy. I went for a workout the day before the second round of bleeding started, and I tried to take it easy, but Crossfit is quite intense and I hope I didn't endanger the pregnancy with my decision to work out.

I don't normally post here but I've been I'm your shoes a number of times. Being brutally honest the measurements would concern me much more than spotting because that can be a missed miscarriage. That's what happened to me, I had no spotting though. I had spotting on another pg and prepared for the worst and baby was absolutely fine. I also had spotting at that time which led to a MC so I've had very different experiences. Sadly we can't reassure you. I really hope it's ok and pls don't think about your exercise, either it's viable or not. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you for sharing. Yes, I've read so many different stories from women on here. The size was concerning but there was a heartbeat so I was confused. We have to wait and do another ultrasound to see how it progresses, but the waiting is excruciating isnt it 😅
