OBGYN,  's  Response
At 11 weeks if there is spotting, it is a matter of concern. I would label it as threatened abortion. If it is not associated with pain, there is a chance that pregnancy can be continued with certain hormonal support. Before giving any hormone, the welbeing of the baby has to be confirmed by ultrasonography. The pregnancy test takes more than a week to become negative after the baby has become non-viable. If ultrasonography shows the foetal cardiac activity and the pregnancy otherwise normal, hormonal support and rest should help to salvage the pregnancy. However, if the baby is jeopardized already, then termination is the only way left.
