This doesn't bode well, does it?

So, I'm supposed to be 6w3d according to the LMP.
Last night, there was light pink blood. That went away overnight; I woke with a clean pad.
This morning there was a bit of brown blood. "Hm," I thought.
Took DD to swimming, had a swim myself, took car to VicRoads, sorted out kerfuffle (dear mechanics: *look* at the engine number when you're putting it in, don't make it up!), went to shopping centre, went to parents room loo with DD.

Bright red blood.

Broke down and howled. DD hopped off the little toilet (mid-poo!), came over, gave me a kiss, hopped back on little toilet and finished her business.
Rang DH. Went home. Rang OB. Managed to get in to have a scan, despite it being 4.45pm and the radiography dept closing at 5.

This is where it gets odd. The scan showed a pregnancy sac (good) measuring at 5w2d (1 week behind, bad) but no obvious sign of bleeding anywhere (good I think) but nothing in the sac (possibly bad. possibly not. If this pregnancy is indeed at 5w2d, the sonographer said, we wouldn't expect to be able to see anything.)

1 full week behind though, I can't really see how that could happen. Especially as I took the pregnancy test at 12 dpo and it was positive then. Argh. So I've had a blood test and I'll have another one Monday, to see if the HCG levels are rising/going down/staying level; I have another ultrasound booked for Thursday morning; if the bleeding, which has eased off, starts again, I'll page the OB.

I really really don't want to lose two babies in one year. Oh please no.
Anyone got positive thoughts, stories, ideas? Anyone?

KF I had a blighted ovum D&C on 17 December last year and without even a cycle in between found myself pregnant with this one. I had early spotting/bleeding and like you rushed to scan (I had 3 by the 12 week mark!) and all was fine each time. I'm 34 weeks along now, so really it might not be anything to worry about

Fingers crossed for you

Kirsten I dont have experience but just wanted to wish you luck, hopefully your dates are just out of whack and there is nothing to worry about.

Fingers crossed for a happy and healthy pregnancy, and what a sweetie your DD is!

Some women continue to get their period through their whole pregnancy - I'd be a basket case by the end of it

Try not to stress too much hun, hopefully its nothing to worry about Just take it easy for the next week or so, as much resting as possible!

Both my cousin and my grandma had normal periods up until 5 months pg!

I can not answer for the bleeding, but my first scan showed that I was 5 weeks 1 day when I should have been 6.5 weeks and I am 28 weeks tomorrow.

Good luck

1 full week behind though, I can't really see how that could happen.

Forgot to add the same thing happened with my first - Flynn was a yolk sac when I first saw him. I waited a nervous week for a follow up scan and all was well.
