I had a subchroniac hematoma with this pregnancy. The bleeding for me lasted from week 6 - week 14. The red clots were very scary and the in between brown bits. I spotted really all day everyday up until week 10ish, after that it was every couple of days.
My hematoma bled out, that's what all the bits were, but it is still very scary. For you, it's very good news that they can see what's causing the bleed and it's not the baby! Apparently subchronic bleeds are pretty common, but most women don't bleed and don't even know it's there.
The continuous brown spotting for me was a normal thing after the bright red bleeds, but I made sure I got scans and hcg checks to help with my sanity. I had a scan done at 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 10 weeks and 12 weeks (NT scan). It really helped me feel positive enough to grow the baby during that scary time.
Even though there is a reason for the bleeding, it's still very frightening and I really sympathize with you. I can only suggest to take it easy, take one day at a time and really try and keep your hopes up. Go and see your dr whenever you like and ask for reassurance if that's what will help.
Plenty of women have had these bleeds and have gone on to have successful pregnancies. There is a support group on yahoo groups for SCH's, you can find it by googling SCH support group.
