Well first I found out I was pregnant Feb. 20, 2009. Last Monday March 2, 2009 I started bleeding lightly. It was a brownish color. I went to the doctors then on Tuesday, she stated that things looked good and sent me for blood work and then set me up with a obgyn. I saw the obgyn on Thursday the 5th for the first time. He did an exam and said that things looked good even though there was some minor bleeding. I've been lightly bleeding since last Monday. The bleeding is worse in the morning and a few times was heavy and red colored.
At my first appointment with the obgyn they said that I was 6 weeks and 2 days along. Well today I went for my first u/s and the woman doing the u/s stated that by what she could tell I am only about 5 weeks along.
I know that nothing is an exact science but with the whole bleeding thing going on I'm scared. This is my first time being pregnant. So the doctor sent me for more blood work today and I go back later this afternoon at 2pm to speak with the obgyn about whats going on.
My boyfriend went with me today and after the u/s was over we both looked at each other and said we were scared. He's going with me again this afternoon. I just hope that everything is ok with the baby.
*so scared*
Re: Were to start.......so scared
I wish you the best today at your appointment. You will also be in my prayers!
Thanks,

Be sure to have your doctor check your progesterone levels - insist on it! I experienced similar symptoms, spotting and bleeding that left me on bedrest. Found out my progesterone levels were ridiculously low and got on progesterone ... haven't spotted since!
Caveat: progesterone certainly hasn't been proven to reduce the incidence of miscarriage, but that's what it's indicated use is. And both me and several of my girlfriends have had success!
Good luck!
definitely sorry to hear that you are going thru this... im sure everything will be ok just try to relax and take it easy ... even tho thats easier said then done. But no stress is the best!
your definitely in my prayers
