What else can I help you with?
Does is mean that you're about to have a miscarriage if you're bleeding while you're pregnant?
First I am sorry to hear that you are bleeding or spotting during pregnancy. I know it can be a scary thing. Whether or not it is serious really depends upon how far along you are. Spotting in the first trimester is not uncommon and is generally okay. That said, you should not take it lightly though in case any complications do present themselves. Spotting in the first and second trimester are not okay. That does not mean you are going to have a miscarriage but it certainly is not healthy and you should call your doctor and go to the ER right away. When you are spotting during pregnancy it is a good idea to wear a pad or pantie liner. This will keep you aware of just how much you are bleeding.Signs of Miscarriage:# Vaginal Bleeding # Cramping # Tissue being passed Signs of Ectopic Pregnancy:# Cramping # Sharp pains in your stomach # low hCG levels# vaginal bleeding Signs of Molar Pregnancy:# Vaginal Bleeding # clusters seen via ultrasound # no heartbeat detected via ultrasound # hCG levels unusually high

How far along are you if a pregnancy test was positive and you're on birth control pills and your last real period was a month ago but you had a little bleeding a couple of weeks ago?
That little bleeding was probably implantation bleeding, I would guess you are about 4 weeks pregnant. ~pawsalmighty
If you have loss of pregnancy symptoms but have no bleeding what could be wrong?
What other symptoms are you experiencing and how far along is the pregnancy? If it is early in the pregnancy you may notice your temperature going down as a symptom that the pregnancy is not viable. If you are far enough along you may need to see a doctor to help your body let the pregnancy go. Your body will not always naturally shed the pregnancy (called 'spontaneous abortion') on its own. There are two ways the doctor can help you. If the pregnancy is not viable and is very early there is a pill you can take that will basically make you get a very heavy period. If you too far along they will do a D & C which means they physically scrape out your uteras and remove the pregnancy that way.
Does bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy mean you are having a miscarriage?
I was bleeding red blood but then brown blood does that mean I'm having a miscarriage? Ans: Not necessarily, you didn't say how far along you were, but it could be implantation bleeding, irritated cervix (from intercourse, exam, etc) or could be old blood which was in place to protect the pregnancy in it's earliest stages, but the growing uterus expelled it. If you are still worried, go see your doc.
What could be wrong if you are six weeks pregnant and have been bleeding and cramping for five days but an ultrasound showed that everything was fine?
That happened to me when I was that far in my pregnancy and everything was fine. Doctor said that was perfectly normal and some people do a small amount of bleeding. I wouldn't worry unless it's heavy bleeding for several days.
How soon after dc for molar pregnancy will you stop having pregnancy symptoms?

Does implantation bleeding occur in every pregnancy?
No. If you have spotting around the time your period is due, take a pregnancy test. If it comes out negative, and you still think you are, take another one a week later. Make sure you use your first morning urine. It will be more accurate that way. Implantation bleeding is spotty, light pink, and is shorter than your normal period.No. This is my 5th pregnancy, and I have never experienced implantation bleeding.No, it doesn't. Some have it while others don't.i only had implantation bleeding with one of my three pregnancys...I am about 4 weeks pregnant. I only just had some slight brown spotting but I hear that this is normal unless I have cramps and it turns red and lasts for a few days. I did not have the "implantation bleeding" at all. This is my first pregnancy. So far no signs of morning sickness either since last week (which lasted a week)No every pregnancy is different and every women is different as wellPink PrincessANSWER:I had implantation bleeding. I was due to start my period on July 3 & on June 28th I noticed some light brown discharge, very minimal. Then on the 29th I was playing volleyball and I started the "feeling" of me starting my period. I went to check and had some light pink/reddish discharge on my panties. Then I had specks of red on my toilet paper.I took a pregnancy test on June 30th and I was pregnant! Implantation bleeding or spotting usually occurs a week before your period is due. It did in my case anyways. I and good luck!
What is bleeding during early pregnancy?
I had bleeding very early in my pregnancy. I went to the ER and they done a routine ultrasound and it showed that i was pregnant with twins. It's very possible that it's implantation bleeding. ALOT of pregnant women experience bleeding and its completely normal. If you begin to pass clots, then i'd really worry. I'm currently 20 weeks with my twins and just experienced bleeding again and really got worried, but everything was fine. Some women bleed their whole pregnancies!
