    Thank you both, Nai, you are right - I'll have to explain to the family. I'd never forgive myself if I rushed around and the bleeding got heavier.

    Jellyblush - I am so sorry you are going through this, it is just horrible. I am in a similar situation. I am 5W2D pregnant and my HCG is around 2300 (just tested today) and I have been having spotting/light bleeding since Saturday the 20th. At first I thought it was implantation bleeding but the day I got my BFP I had bright red blood. I am freaking as my last cycle was a miscarriage. My Dr said that there could be 100 reasons why I am bleeding and while bleeding in pregnancy isn't something they like to see, I could just be one of those odd people that bleed. She said that the HCG increasing means that everything is progressing as normal and unless the bleeding gets any worse then I just need to wait it out. Originally I thought that when my HCG increased enough to tell my body "yes you are really pregnant" then the bleeding would stop. But no, it is still happening.

    I understand how stressful this can be for you and it is horrible how you have no definitive answers. But I have a positive story for you - my friends sister had bleeding right through her pregnancy and at times the bleeding was very heavy period like and has a gorgeous 8 year old DD to show for it. She didn't bleed with her other pregnancies, it was just this one.

    Take care of yourself and I hope your scan date comes very very quickly for you. xx

    Wishing you the best of luck it is so hard when it is'nt quite a double, I reckon its pretty close and the doubling time starts to slow down as the levels get higher, it is so stressful, good luck with your scan and keep getting your levels done to hlep ease your mind.
