Q: TERRIFIED! dr called and needs to see me after having bloodwork

i was having some slight pink spotting over the weekend,,it was after sex and it was only once so i didnt think much about it... i called the dr this morning to tell her and she sent me over for 1 round of blood work to check Hcg levels ... well she called me a little while ago and said she got the results and needs to see me tomorrow. im so scared! they say if your levels are dropping that there may be a problem..but i only had the one round.. ? anyone have any idea what this could mean ? please please help!

well i have RH negative blood type, and my husband has positive (which i totally knew already because i went through this with 3 other pregnancies) if there is any spotting or bleeding i have to get a shot to prevent my body from building antibodies against the baby

i completely forgot about the shot so thats why my doctor wanted to see me asap after the bloodwork. so nothing major :) she said my hcg levels are quite high so shes confident the pregnancy is progressing, but im going to have an ultrasound done just to make sure. it was alot of worry for nothing .

Try not to worry bc that doesn't help. When i had my mc's the doctors told me over the phone that my levels were dropping and that it was infact a mc. They didnt wana see me for a few days to a week to check to make sure they were dropping to normal. but this is the reason they wanted me to come back. im surprised ur dr didnt tell you why they want to see you...

ALSO Keep in mind that during pregnancy your body is going through a load of changes and that your cervix can be easily irritated (sex being something that can irritate your cervix).

If the blood was any more than spotting, gets worse and is accompanied by cramping and bright red blood then i would worry.Pink is ok though and so is brown... every time i miscarried i was in pain and was bleeding bright red similar to a period. if you are worried, just call them and ask why they wana c u.

I hope everything is ok. I'm sure you're fine. good luck!
