Also, my bleeding has already stopped. & with my first miscarriage I ended up being a week less then I "should have been"

I really don't understand why the doctor is so sure you miscarried...it sounds like she is presuming and making excuses for her machine because she isn't sure.you will get a for sure answer with your blood tests and other ultrasounds.if you just had a bit of spotting and no heavy bleeding or pain I would think theres still a chance the baby is alright.hope everything turns out okay for you and the baby!

I had spotting during my early pregnancy, which made me go to the midwife and she said it is quite common and no it is no a miscarriage. I wasn't scanned, presumably it would be to early to tell. When I did have a scan at 8 weeks all was well
.

They should have done the internal ultrasound. Doesn't sound like a miscarriage. I would call your OB and tell them what happened and ask for an appointment next week.

Hi, my friend was told she was mc, and her blood came bk neg, but she indeed have a healthy baby girl , don't worrie just yeat ur doc should be giveing you blood test to see if ur hcg is getting highter or lower if lower then it would be a mc, i no you prob thinking the worst but please hold out for more tests good luck x

Wow, that frustrating. If I were you I'd contact my doctor again and insist they do the bloodwork and vaginal ultrasound as recommended. The external ultrasound really can't pick up much before 6 weeks, so I wouldn't take that as a bad sign. The bloodwork will show right away whether your hcg levels are increasing as they should. A slight amount of spotting doesn't sound like a MC. GL!
