BFP but bleeding & low hCG/progesterone

After 8 days of bleeding (heavier than spotting but not a full-blown period), I tested and got a BFP. The nurse said it could be implantation bleeding (but at the time of this e-mail, I will have been bleeding for 10 days. With DD, I only had implantation bleeding for one day.)

So I had a blood test and the results came back 34 for hCG and 7 for progesterone. I am going back for another test on Monday, but I am not too hopeful.

I know the low levels can mean an early pregnancy...but combined with the bleeding I just don't see this being a viable pregnancy. I think I am probably m/c. Plus I have no PG symptoms.

Anyone have advice to share?

Oh Sweetie... I'm sending you a great big hug ever!!!! I know seeing blood while being pregnant is very scary.

Thanks Crystal. The bleeding got heavier last night...pretty much like a normal period. I am assuming this one didn't stick. I'm ok with it though, because I didn't have much time to get used to the idea. But I am worried about this throwing off my ovulation. Do you have any idea how long it typically takes to get back on track after an early miscarriage?
