I woke up to a gush of blood. Some clots, too. It's tapered off, then stopped. I called ob they want to do blood work and check hcg. I'm scheduled for us Tuesday. Why not move that up? I'm freaking out. And blood draws mean I won't know until later tomorrow what's going on?
Would you wait and do the draws or go to the ER? I don't know..This Fucking sucks.
Personally, I wouldn't go to the ER. They'll just do an u/s, call it a threatened m/c, and tell you to follow up with your OB. If I remember correctly, you're still pretty early, right? Following your hcg is the best indication of what's going on at this point.
Okay. She's said get the draw and they'll call me with results today. So when she does I'll push for us. I didn't know if that seemed reasonable or just me freaking the fuck out.:/

I think waiting until next week is unnecessarily cruel but I wouldn't go to the er wither. Push for US. Crossing all my fingers and toes it's benign first tri bleeding. Have you had sex recently? I bled like that too around that point and all was well just irritated cervix.
I would not go to the ER. They really are not equipped to handle early pregnancy.
Having even though multiple mc I can tell you the best thing to do is exactly what your OB has suggested. Moving the u/s up really isn't going to help. Checking HCg levels is the way to go right now. Especially if you're off on dates and they can't see much/anything via u/s it's going to make you worry/stress more.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Try not to stress.
When I bled with DS2. They tried to tell me to wait it out I threw a fit on the phone and said I'm on my way you better work it out. I then went and sat in the office for 1.5 hours until they did an ultrasound. I don't know that I would recommend this but it did get shit done.
I'm so sorry I hope it's nothing. Push for the ultrasound. You'll have to get more blood draws so an ultrasound will give you a better picture of what is happening.
So sorry you are going thru this. I would also push for a U/S. I had light bleeding early in my pregnancy with DD and they did no blood draw, just U/S. Hope it's nothing.
Sorry gwapes! Just saw this. Skipping the ER is a good plan, they really aren't the best for that situation-and I speak from personal experience. Glad you're pushing for an us and thinking good thoughts.
I had a subchorionic hemorrhage early into my pregnancy and the ER experience was hell. Fwiw your Ob knows what's best and I am crossing my fingers for you!
So many hugs. I know I don't post on this board but I unfortunately have experience here. Hopefully the blood draw gives you good news.
An ultrasound at this point may or may not be very helpful depending on how far along you are. (I see you have said 7 weeks, but if it's any less then a HB might not be seen yet.)
Nurse called finally. Hcg is 2748. Which puts me at 6w. She said they won't do an ultrasound until it's 10k otherwise they won't see anything. ugh. So blood draw saturday. Results on monday. I hate being in limbo like this :/
I'm sorry, gwapes. I think you got lots of great specific suggestions, I'm glad you were able to get the draw today. I'll be thinking of you and hoping Monday comes quickly.

I'm so sorry. I went to the ER when I miscarried and I wouldn't do it again. I'm really glad you were able to get the draw today. I really hope it's good news for you.
