Hello doc, I am 10 weeks 4 days pregnant per my LMP. I went for my ultrasound today because I was spotting light pink and brown when I wipe after peeing. They checked and there is no heartbeat and the baby is measuring 6weeks 6days which is almost the same as what it measured last week which was 6 weeks 4 days. Am I miscarrying? The doctor wasn’t certain of what answer to give me so they took my blood sample to check my hcg level to see if it is rising or dropping. I haven’t had any cramp yet but the spotting is still there when I wipe. I will be happy to hear your opinion

I think something might be very wrong with my daughter. She has had regular periods when she first started at the age of 12. Then when she was around 16 she wanted to be on some sort of birth control. So she heard someone tell her that the health department will help young girls get on birth control and not require the parents consent. My daughter tells me everything so I took her there and they started her on the depo shot. I told her about some of the common side effects that come along with that like how it can make your period disappear for months or create abnormal cycles. She did not like the shot so we decided to put her on the pill. That was great because it did regulate her periods and never had an issue. That is until she had to stop taking them because she couldn’t afford them. Her cycles stayed on track for the most part but now, we are very worried! She has her very first gynecologist appointment this Thursday to get some answers. This last time she went 47 days without having a period and she kept buying pregnancy tests and they all came back negative. Then, she would start to spot a light pink and think her period was starting and then she had nothing. Then it went to every time she would go to the bathroom to move her bowels, she had a lot of blood coming out and it was not coming from the backside. Then it stopped until the next time she moved her bowels. As of right now, she texted me and said someone opened the gate and she is bleeding very heavily. Has this blood been stuck up there since she was supposed to start 48 days ago? I’m scared she is losing too much too fast! Is there anything I should know about this? I want to help her but I don know what to do. Thank you

What about if I have RH-negative blood type and the dad has positive blood type. Our first baby has positive blood type and during the first pregnancy I did bleed around the 6 weeks mark. What do I need to know if I get pregnant agin and bleed during pregnancy?

Hi lora
I have a question.
I have go all pregnancy symptoms also missed my periods, after 5 day missed my periods i tested but its negative 😢
Still i waited but all pregnancy symptoms disappeared, after 9 days start my periods, its to much blood clothes. Is this normal or it's miscarriages?

[archalnaidu]

Can miscarriages be shown/determined in the transvaginal ultrasound if you’re spotting?

[valck]

I assume I had implantation bleeding which I’ve never experienced before, I’ve seen change in breast size, areola got larger and darker too, I felt the slight pain/discomfort of supposed implantation. But then I get heavy bleeding a day after spotting. Is it period or miscarriage or could I possibly still be pregnant. I’m not sure if I want to be pregnant by my ex, I did cry a lot and I’m also stressed from other things. I’m going to wait and see what happens, hopefully it’s a period/miscarriage and not a sneaky pregnancy.
