4-6 wks with spotting and low hcg

I had AF early in December, no sex in December, only in November. Started spotting on Dec. 17th and my mother told me to take a pregnancy test. I did and it was positive. We went to the hospital and my HCG level was 185. My ultrasound showed a tiny bubble that they said was unidentifiable at this time. If we count from when I had AF in Nov. I'd have been 5 wks at the hospital. 185 is low for 5 wks. They put me on bed rest and I had a drs appt later in the week where the test took forever to come back positive but the dr said my cervix is closed. He scheduled me for hcg testing for Jan. 2nd and 4th. The dr says I'm definitely pregnant but just really early. I was told 185 is high for 3wks and a friend said high hcg is a sign of multiples. I'm going back and forth worrying about possibly having a miscarriage and worrying I might have multiples. I will be a 28tr old single mother with a great and supportive family so I know I can do this but has anyone else had similar experiences?

I have not had a similar experience, but I'm very sorry you are going through this limbo right now. Prayers for a healthy pregnancy. I'm glad you've got the support and the love that you need to make this work. The best to you.

I'm sorry you're going through all this. I am 5w7d with my first baby. I started spotting when I reached my 5th week. I was dead scared and thought I'd have a miscarriage. I went to my gyna and he said the cervix is closed which is good. For the spotting he put me on crinone gel 8. The first night when I used the gel I started bleeding, very slight flow, but after that not a sign of blood whatsoever Thank God!

I've been reading a lot of articles related to spotting/bleeding in pregnancy and it's pretty normal. 20 to 30 percent women bleed/spot and they delivered healthy babies. The best example I can give you right now is My elder sister. When she was pregnant with her first baby, she also used to spot, and the doctor put her on injections. Now her daughter is 8 years old and healthy.

Be strong and think positive. Everything will turn out great!
