I found out less than a week ago that I was 5 weeks pregnant. Then two days after, I started light bleeding (spotting, I assumed). That continued for two days. Then yesterday, I woke up to a lot of blood. Not a murder scene amount, but enough to seep through my underwear and leggings. The rest of the day I continued bleeding but the amount of blood was less and less each time. By the time I went to bed, there was barely any visible blood. I took a sigh of relief and thought the bleeding was over, then the same thing happened this morning. I just keep seeing lots of blood. However, there are no clots. I keep telling myself that as long as there are no clots, that everything is fine.
Unfortunately I can’t get into my OB until Wednesday morning (2 days from today). But to sort of give me a peace of mind I took an at home pregnancy test. I was telling my self that if the line is darker than it was when I took it a week ago, then the HCG levels have increased and Everything will be okay. Well, the line was darker. It was enough to keep me optimistic. i know that I won’t know for sure until my appointment Wednesday, until then, it’s the little things I’m clinging to for optimism until I get confirmation one way or the other.
Re: 5 weeks pregnant with bleeding (no clots)
I'm not sure the point of this post, as you aren't asking anything. You just wrote a dear diary post.
BUT, FYI, PG tests are qualitative, not quantitative. The darkness of the line is moot. The only thing you can do at this point is to wait and go to your doctor, or if you are highly concerned, to call them and try to get an earlier appointment.
