    You poor thing... I know how horrible & worrying this is. I began to bleed (sometimes red, sometimes brown, sometimes spotting, sometimes gushing) at just over 5 weeks. i had an ultrasound done, & all that was seen was the sac - the drs said it was too early to see anything else.
    The funny thing was, although some drs at the maternity ward were pessimistic (due to the bleeding), the head dr came to see me & said she had a "good feeling" about my baby - & that she thought everything was going to be alright. She said she just "felt" that everything was going to be fine.
    It was wonderful to hear this. And you know what? She was right. I'm still bleeding (at 15 weeks now), but my baby is doing wonderfully. I've had about 11 or 12 U/Ss by now, & have been able to see my baby grow from week to week. All you could see at first was a sac, then a couple of weeks later, a heartbeat, then a tiny baby, & now a bouncy, wriggly babe! Drs keep telling me that they are VERY optimistic about my baby - & now I feel optimistic too.
    Even though I am still bleeding, apparently there are many non-worrying reasons why a pregnant woman may bleed. Sure, it is not ideal, but it is not necessarily anything to be concerned about.
    I cannot understand why they think you will miscarry over the next week or so. I mean - you are still so early... (although, of course, I am not a dr - just going off my own experience & what I've been told).
    I really wish you & your baby the very best of luck & wishes.

    EDIT: Even at 5 - 6 weeks they couldn't see much more than a sac with me - even with an internal U/S

    I had a scan at about 5wks and only saw a sac. I really hope and pray this bubba sticks for you. Stick for mummy little one. I hope your next ultrasound goes well.
