So yesterday I woke up to some spotting (bright red) but DH and I had DTD the night before so I tried not to panic. I called my doctor and they reassured me it was probably nothing but to watch for a increase in bleeding or cramping. I felt like general crap all day and called back around 1 because I felt like I was cramping and maybe that the bleeding had picked up some. I called back again at 3 because no one had called me and was told to go to the ER. After a full exam (and nearly 5 hours) I was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage and told that I need to follow up with my doctor for more blood work and another ultrasound on Friday. Based on LMP I was 6w 6d but my hgc (blood levels?, I've never been through this) was only in the 600s and there was no fetal sac on the ultrasound. They say that it is possible that it is still so early and so that's why they want everything repeated on Friday. They also saw what they strongly believe is a cyst on one ovary but cannot rule out an ectopic pregnancy. I'm trying to remain hopeful that I'm just earlier along than I thought but I don't feel very positive. If you have any spare thoughts or prayers, I'd really appreciate it.
TL:DR I was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage yesterday and won't know more until Friday.

So many hugs. Ditto to thechickencoop, the ER is probably one of the worst places to go so early in pregnancy -- they're very quick to put disastrous thoughts in your mind because they aren't trained to deal with early pregnancy nuances.
I really, really, hope it's all an overreaction and normal spotting. Please update us when you can. *more hugs*
So sorry. I second everyone elses comments about the ER and pregnancy. I know Friday seems so far away but just try to take things day by day and lean on us for support.

I'm so sorry. Unfortunately ER visits can be more confusing than not in these situations. Is you follow up with your OB on Friday?
Yes, I go to her office on Friday. I'm trying to not get too down until then but it did seem like a lot of factors not in our favor. I'm still really hopeful that I just ovulated late but I have no way of knowing because I wasn't tracking.

I'm sorry. I hope you are just earlier than you think. Hang in there; I know it's going to be hard for two more days.
