bleeding and still confused....

in Trying to Get Pregnant

ok so I posted something the other day- I got 3 bfps last week and thought I was almost 5weeks along, but then I started bleeding on saturday and I've been bleeding since. On saturday the amount of blood was like a period but then its gotten less since. (I wasn't like gushing blood but it was definitely way more than spotting, it was a significant amount.)

Today I went to a dr that wasnt mine and I am still confused because she kind of rushed me out. At this point I had assumed I either mc'd or it was like a chemical pregnancy but she was talking to me like I was still pregnant. She took a blood test and said she would look at my "hormone levels" excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? (as I said I was kind of rushed out and there was not much time for questions) You ladies are so knowledgeable I just thought I could ask for some extra help here... I know this sounds dumb but will the blood test tell her if I am actually pregnant or not? 

As I said, I assumed I had mc'd...was she just taking it easy on me and didn't want to say that to me for fear that I'd freak out? 

Any ideas? :) TIA!

    It sounds like you had a CP and I'm so sorry you're going through this.

    She may have taken the blood test to check your hcg levels. I don't know what the levels would mean because I have never been pregnant, so I have no advice there.

    GL and hopefully you'll get the answers you're looking for!

    Hi, 

    I am just lurking from the TCAL page and saw your post. The hormone level is called HCG and is elevated when you are pregnant. Even after a miscarriage your levels will still be evident (O is not pregnant) and can tell them if you were pregnant, and when the levels go down to O that you have "finished" the miscarriage. This is important in ruling out that you have not an an ectopic pregnancy (a tubal pregnancy where the egg attaches to the lining of your fallopian tubes instead of the uterus).

    Hoping for answers for you quickly.
