Hey, ladies.
I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Last night I went to the restroom and there was a substantial amount of bright red bleeding. It was pooled in the bottom of the toilet and there was enough to saturate the toilet paper when I wiped. It did go away right after, but was the scariest thing.
I went to the ER and am very glad I did. They were able to check my HCG and it is up to 7800 (from 490 last Wednesday). They also did a transvaginal ultrasound and said I was measuring exactly 5 weeks and 5 days. They couldnt see the fetal pole yet but said it was likely just too early.
That was all reassuring but I am still terrified. What would cause bleeding? My progesterone is great at a 47 as of two weeks ago. And I take 400 mg per day. They said I did have a UTI, which can cause blood, but I dont know if it causes that much. Im so scared every time I use the restroom now. Any success stories or words of encouragement?
