I had AF cramps up until 9weeks with this pg! I really felt like AF was right around the corner... it was terrifying! The problem is that most m/c symptoms are also normal pg symptoms!
Definitely call the doc... they might not be willing to do an u/s yet as it is still early and there may not be a HB yet... maybe ask if you can have some blood drawn this week.
Hang in there... hopefully everything is just fine!
Hugs to you. I feel the same way. I'm supposed to be about 7.5 wks along and got an emergency U/S yesterday due to bleeding. They said I'm about 3-4 wks along. Which I don't think is possible. My cycle is exactly 28 days every month and last AF was July 19. I got blood drawn and I go back tomorrow for more so they can check my levels. The bleeding stopped this morning but I had a couple of severe cramps earlier. So now I feel like I'm just waiting around for another mc too. I'm sorry for everything your going through. Everyone has been telling me to stay positive so you try to too.
I'm sorry. My DH is home (well at work). I couldn't imagine him not being here during this. And I don't think I'm going to have to wait long. I have a doc app tomorrow, but I had 3 really painful cramps this morning and I started bleeding again at 2pm. So I think it might be over for awhile for me. I'm kind of scared to try again.
After finding out that my progesterone levels went from 20.8 to 12 in a matter of weeks, I was freaked out and you responded to me with a think positive attitude...and it helped me tremendously. I know that it is easier said than done, but I'm with ya, sister! My husband and I went to Church on Sunday and prayed to God to give us peace with His decision...but that we would really like to meet our baby in April. Amazingly enough, I've been a lot calmer. It helped that my u/s is on 9/9 at 9 a.m. So, I'm hoping that all is well.
My advice, if I may lend it, stay calm and watch a comedy, go for a walk...anything to keep your mind off the worries. "Stress is not good for the baby" :) I'll add you to my prayer list and send positive thought your way.
Remember, God has his plan and it's always for the best. I hope I helped.
I went to the doc today. A new doctor and I love them. They are so considerate and listened to everything I had to say. But according to the U/S on Tues. It said I'm measuring 3-4 weeks when I should be 7. But the bloodwork came back and it said about 3-4 weeks too. I don't find out until tomorrow. They took more bloodwork today to see if the levels are going up or down. I'm not getting my hopes up because I've been bleeding and cramping on and off since Tues. But she said the U/S picture didn't show any blood around the sac. I also brought up the rh factor with her. I'm - and dh is +. Both my sons are -, but I asked if there was any way in my life that I could have come in contact with + blood. So she jumped right on it and is having me tested for the antibodies. Because that could be it too. If I am having another mc she is going to prescribe some stuff to help me cramp, stuff to control the pain, and antibiotics so I don't develop and infection. This will help it get over with faster. And she also said she will keep checking my blood until I'm back down to 0. And I asked about our 2 cats and she said that shouldn't be a factor since I've been around cats my whole life. I should be immune by now. They also told me if it is a mc, when I do get preg again to come in the day I find out. They want to see if my body produces enough hormones. Also she wants to do a complete physical to make sure everything is good before we try again. So in spite of everything, it was a really good day. It still hurts, but I'm trying to focus on whats wrong with me and figure it out. I finally found a good doc who cares and wants to do everything to make sure I have a healthy baby. I'll write tomorrow when I find out. I hope everything is going OK with you. I'll pray for you too. Keep me updated.

I wonder if a baby can just stop growing and then start again and still be ok.
