My First Trimester Scares, worries, and miracle!

So this has been the craziest journey for me! I followed up with my doctor a week ago, when she did the ultrasound it showed only a flat looking sac, no fetal pole/heartbeat and no yolk. She told me I was likely to miscarry and expect bleeding in the next week. I assumed she might say this, and was devasted. Told my boyfriend and all my friends that I had essentially lost the baby and was waiting to bleed heavily. And I did. I had 4 days of fairly heavy bleeding, and on Tuesday of this week I had a follow up appointment to do a last ultrasound and make sure the miscarriage was fully happening and no D&C was necessary. When she went to do the ultrasound, she had a shocked look on her face. She turned the screen around and said, "Samantha, there's a baby in there!" The sac has rounded out and the yolk was visible with a heartbeat." This was Tuesday this week, at 7 weeks pregnant exactly she got me at. I still have some brown discharge with occasional red spitting and chunky brown tissue discharge when I pee as well. I've never heard of anyone having this crazy turn of events like I did. Doctor said after hearing a heartbeat my chance of miscarriage goes down to 5%. Is this true?! Even if I'm still passing brown and red spotting with tissue? I'm baffled that a baby is actually in there after all my spotting and 4 days of fairly heavy bleeding. What are the chances of this pregnancy going to term at this point? Feeling blessed there's a baby with a heartbeat, but nervous to get too excited with all the spotting/bleeding/tissue discharge. Any advice? Anyone heard of this before?!

    So glad everything is working out! I haven't experienced this much bleeding personally, but an acquaintance menstruated throughout her pregnancy and still delivered a healthy baby. Fx for you that your baby continues to develop well!

    Wow! I'm happy and hopeful for you. Unfortunately I can't tell you anything your doctor can't, but based on what she said, it sounds like there's a 95% chance that your pregnancy will continue to be viable. She gave you that stat even knowing your bleeding history so try to trust it and enjoy that right now you are pregnant!

    Looks like a normal 7 week fetal pole by that image. What was the fetal pole measuring? I have scanned so many 1st trimester patients for bleeding and I love when there's a positive outcome. There are so many different reasons for bleeding or spotting. If your hcg and progesterone is where it should be I would say that's a great sign.

    You can't actually menstruate while you're pregnant, but I have experienced bleeding and everything was okay. I hope you continue to have a healthy pregnancy!

    Well, yes. I'm sorry, appeared to menstruate would have been an accurate description. She bled each month for several days each time. I brought it up only because it's a more extreme bleeding case I've personally known of where everything still turned out okay. Bleeding does not necessarily indicate a miscarriage.
