"Waiting game"...

Good morning...if you could call it that.
First pregnancy, first potential loss. Between 5 - 6w, I was experiencing mild cramping and spotting, sleeplessness, frequent urination, but I still felt good and that it was all normal. On the day of my 6w mark (Wednesday), everything took a turn while at work, the mild cramping became so sever I couldn't sit up or stand. The spotting had turned to blood, albeit still not a lot, bright, red blood. My mom rushed me to the OB where they did an U/S, but things were inconclusive. My doc could see the yolk sac, but not much else at this early stage. The idea of miscarriage or ectopic preg were mentioned, but I was in so much pain physically and emotionally, the appointment was a blur. I was sent for blood work that day and back again today to monitor my hcg levels but aside from that, there's nothing for me to do right now.
I can't help but be realistic about the situation and prepare myself for the worst, but I really don't want to think that negatively. I spent all of yesterday resting, managing pain and crying. Today I feel better, but something is still off and I don't know if it's b/c I am going thru a MC or I'm not in my right mind. Has anyone here gone thru what they believed to be a MC but it turned out to be normal or eventually completely OK?
I'm just finding ways to cope since I probably won't know anything for sure until after the weekend
. Talking (or typing) about it helps and since no one really knows about this pregnancy, I don't have many people to talk to. Thanks in advance

Re: "Waiting game"...
2. As many women on other BMB's stated, some had positive some had negative outcomes. How the heck did your Ob/Gyn say it looks like an ectopic when he saw a yolk sac??
3. Type in "subchorionic hemorrhage" into the search function and you will see lots and lots of discussion on the topic.
HSG - All clear, ectopic kidney didn't affect uterus (yay!)
CT Adrenal Scan - no tumors!
SA - sperm count excellent, 2% Morphology
