I'm in beta hell right now. I'm 12dp5dt and have had positive HPTs since 6dp, with positive digitals starting at 9dp. I started cramping and bleeding bright red two days ago (10dp). I was fully expecting this to turn out to be a CP and I was ok with it. I went in for a beta this morning @ 12dp and my beta came back at 162 which is much higher than I was expecting (honestly I thought it would be less than 50). I still have consistent bright red bleeding with cramps. I go back on Monday for a second beta.
Has anyone else been in the same situation, with bleeding and not just spotting, and it turned out ok? Thanks
Have not had this happen, but am wishing you lots of luck and sending you T&Ps for good outcome Monday. Did the doctor say anything on the bleeding? 12dp5dt seems late to get a beta? Or is it 12p ER?

My beta was originally scheduled for 15dp5dt, my clinic was making me do the full TWW due to the holiday. Today is 12dp5dt. At first, when I talked to them yesterday they thought I was probably right about the CP but today when they called with the beta numbers they said that bleeding can be common in early pregnancy.
I tried googling but Google is the devil and thinks that I'm dying.
Unfortunately, my experience with bleeding like you are describing resulted in miscarriage last year. But during my struggle, there were plenty of people who told me it could just be miscarriage of one twin, etc.
Don't give up hope. Sending T & P your way.

So you've only had the one beta, right? And it came back strong (that's a good beta!), but you're bleeding. Just making sure that I understand, as I wouldn't call that beta hell. But I'm sorry you're bleeding and cramping. I hope that stops soon. Lots of the women here have had all kinds of bleeding, and everything has turned out okay. Sending you lots of t&p. ((hugs))

Unfortunately there's nothing to do but wait. I am sorry, I know this is harder than the 2WW. It's a cruel truth of PAIF that the first few weeks are even harder than waiting for a BFP. Hang in there!!!
With a good beta, that's a good sign. Both cramping and bleeding can be normal in early pregnancy, and we have women here who have successfully carried pregnancies through those issues (I didn't have any bleeding, but I cramped like full period cramps for 2 weeks - others have had bleeding and/or cramps).
It could be a SCH, or a miscarrying twin, or any number of things. Unfortunately all you can do is wait.
