Scared and freaked out right now!

So I ended up going to the ER yesterday morning. I woke up to a little cramping and a lot of brown discharge. The night before I had been having this heavy feeling like my period was on so when I saw all the discharge I was freaked. The doctor ran another hcg test, took a urine sample, and did a pelvic exam. After about two hours they says that my hcg was 390, I wasn't actively bleeding and my cervix looked closed. They wouldn't do an ultrasound cause there'd be no point, it's too early. Everyone keeps telling me not to worry but that isn't even a possibility. I won't know anything until Tuesday and I'm terrified that in the meantime I may be losing this baby. Has anyone else had this happen and everything was ok? I'm really trying to stay away from Google, it's only making it worse.

I'm sorry this is happening. It happened to us at 5w6d. Brown spotting maybe a little red too I can't remember. My exact words when my wife noticed it was "I'm not giving this baby back". It was one of the scariest parts of our pregnancy.
We called our RE who said the same thing, there's nothing you can do. I knew we wouldn't sleep not knowing the truth so we went to the ER. Ours did do an u/s. It was midnight, the tech had never done one on someone so early on. We reassured her that after 3 IVF cycles, we knew what we were looking for! Up on the screen came a little sac with a heartbeat. It was our first time confirming a heartbeat. We cried. What a way to find out.
We headed to the RE a few days later for our " real" u/s. They found a bleed but reassured us all was good.
The ER dr said bleeding in pregnancy doesn't necessarily mean the worst case scenario.
I'm so sorry you have to wait till Tues. You must be going mad. Can they get you in sooner, just so you know?

I hate to contribute but I did have a similar experience with my second pregnancy at 5.5 weeks and it did not end well. They were able to do an ultrasound in the ER in my case and I was miscarrying. I honestly hope that your situation is different. I know you must be terrified. I'm thinking positive thoughts for you.

I just hit 5wks today and my hcg is only 390. It has to be at least 1100 before they can see anything on an ultrasound, at least that's what I was told. It's nervewracking to have to wait for so long, I can't relax or enjoy being pregnant.

You're in my thoughts. I hope everything works out for you. Try to keep yourself busy until Tuesday.

I don't have a similar experience to share, but when I was pregnant my doctor said that in general brown was okay and it was with bright red that you should worry. A lot of the time brown is just spotting, which is okay.

Fingers crossed for you.

I'm so sorry your going through this. I had some spotting and bleeding with one of my pregnancies early on and it resulted in Owen - but I've also miscarried. Unfortunately there's nothing to do but wait until a confirming u/s.
Sending you positive thoughts that everything resolves and you get your sticky "take home" baby.

I've been pregnant three times now.  All three times, I bled and had brown spotting - sometimes significantly.  Once it was a miscarriage.  But, the other two times have led to my three year old (bled for 13 weeks) and the baby I now carry.  I am 22 weeks and bled for several weeks in the beginning.  There's never been a real explanation (no SCH seen), but it just seems to be what my body does.  Here's to hope and the odds being in your favor.
