Brief Answer:
Diagnosis needs to be confirmed

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy can be due to ectopic pregnancy, threatened abortion or subchorionic hemorrhage ( bleeding around the fetus).
The diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound and proper examination.
So, appropriate diagnosis should be confirmed and further treatment should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

My doctor did a transvaginal usg but said it is too early to predict anything. I am only concerned about the bleeding. If there is anything like ectopic eruption or threatened abortion what are the other symtoms. Can threatened abortion lead to a healthy pregnancy
