Thanks everyone. I called my doc this morning and he said even though I am convinced the bleeding's getting worse to keep taking the progesterone and to wait a week til my next scan.
I am just not sure. Part of me feels if it's over, it's over and let nature take its course rather than prolong an inevitable miscarriage.
But another part of me is clinging to hope and telling me to keep taking the progesterone just in case there's a teeeny percent chance this bean is still there and trying...
what would you do?

Hi

Just thought I would add my experiences if that is OK.

I have had 2 babies and I bled with both the pregnancies at about 5 weeks. The first pregnancy obviously I was really worried as I didn't know what to expect so I thought I was having a m/c. I went to an out of hours doctor as it happened on a Saturday, he examined me and booked me in for a scan on the Monday. I also had to do a urine sample so it could be tested for the pregnancy hormones. I had my internal scan and I was so relieved when they pointed out the heartbeat.

I continued to bleed and it alternated between brown and red and was quite heavy at times, plus I had cramps so if I didn't know I was pregnant I would have assumed it was my period. I didn't feel pregnant at the time really either. I took a week off work so I could just chill out and I spent most of the time laying down!

Both my babies were fine. I am now pregnant again and am coming up for 12 weeks and so far 'touch wood' I haven't had any bleeding or cramping, my midwife reckons it is a sign I am having a girl as my last two were boys!

Hope everything works out OK for anyone who has any bleeding, it is a very worrying time but more common than most people think.

I went through a horrible experience thinking I had a m/c. I bled very heavily and bright red, plus doc told me my cervix had opened. The next day at the US the guy said it was probably just a blood sack from implantation that the baby had burst and I got to hear the heartbeat. Scariest moment of my life but it's made me realise how much I want this baby.
I'm sure you will be fine! Let me know how you go though.

If it were me I would take them, if the doc thinks it's worth giving to you then you should try it. If it's going to happen it will, but the progesterone might help little bean stick. Fingers crossed!

I really hope that this one sticks for you and wanted to tell you about my story which may make you feel a little more positive.
At 6 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby i started bleeding - like you say just brown spotting. I freaked out and rang my doctor who sent me straight up the early pregnancy unit at our local hospital. they did an internal scan but couldn't see anything so they were convinced i had lost the baby. I was devastated. They told me to come back on the monday to have my blood tests repeated and to do another scan. I had to wait the longest 4 days of my life and on the monday they said that teh hcg levels were high but that i could still be mc. At the end of that week i had another scan and they saw the hearbeat - it was the most amazing sight. One of the other girls on here said that it isn't normal to bleed but sooooo many women do - quite a lot of my friends have had similar experiences.
I really hope that everything works out for you - my thoughts are with you.

Thanks everyone. I guess I will just carry on and see at the hcg reading and the next scan.
Smurfs mummy when did you stop bleeding? How long did you bleed for?
I lose hope every time I see more blood but part of me hopes there is still a chance

 

[shockd&amazed]

Sarah88, can I ask at what point in preg you started bleeding and for how long?

 

[Ann-Marie]

I hope everything is ok at the scan. I can feel how much you want this baby

Hi again, well think it's over. Very heavy bleeding now, severe cramping etc.
Proper, proper heavier than period bleeding so that's that.
Am not sure whether I will bother having hcg read on Monday or the second scan as I really feel i am passing whatever it is I need to naturally.
I hope to try again soon, hopefully with some progesterone help.
Anyone had two or more miscarriages heard anything about progesterone?
Thanks again for all the support x
