What Causes Spotting During Pregnancy?
Hello, I really need some insight. I am supposed to be 10 wks pregnant, my gestational sac measured 6 wks 6 days on the 13th of January and beta counts were 27,295 on the 14th of Jan. On the 20th of Jan I began to spot but it wasn t red blood and it went away for the rest of the day until this morning. Nevertheless I rushed my self to the hospital on the 20th and they told me the counts were 35000 and that the gestational sac is apparent, the yolk sac is to be determined and I m still measuring at 6 wks and a few days. No baby, no heart beat no fetal pole. I m so confused as to what this means. I have a 5 hour appointment on the 23rd to get more blood work done and another ultra sound and consultation. Not sure if I should wait for my body to do it s natural thing or take the D&C, or pills to help a miscarriage along. Please advise!

Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
In case on your next visit same situation persists then you will need pills for abortion which might need a d&c along.
Till then take full bed rest and avoid any sexual activity.
