I'm so confused and would like to know if anyone else shares a similar experience as I. I am 6 wks pregnant, according to last period. On Monday, I began to bleed heavy and had cramps. I went to the ER and assumed it was a miscarriage. The doctor did a pelvic exam and my cervix was closed, not dilated which means I have not miscarried yet. My hcg levels were in the 4000s. My ultrasound showed the gestational sac but they told me there was no yolk sac. The bleeding I experienced was from a subchorionic hemorrhage. My body should be ridding of the pregnancy tissue eventually. I don't know if I by this because the ultrasonographer told me to not to expect to see anything, that at 6 weeks it can be hard to detect a baby. My sac measured 12mm. I am kind of living in limbo right now and I'm unable to cope because everything is still in place in my uterus!
You need to see your OB or other prenatal care provider. Do not take the word of an ER doctor, especially if you have been diagnosed with a subchorionic hemorrhage. You could be bleeding from the SCH and have a completely normal pregnancy. If you haven't called your own doctor about this, you need to step away from the computer and call right now. I'm serious.
ETA: It could be possible that your dates are off just a bit. Even a couple of days this early could make a difference. Don't count yourself out yet. But you do need to have the SCH managed by a doctor, so you must call.
