***Posted on TTC as well but thought it might be better over here***
I can finally say, "I'm pregnant!" yep yep...I am currently 5 weeks and conceived the same cycle as my HSG with no fertility meds and only taking Progesterone. I found out VERY early like had the faintest of faint positives on a FRER at 9 dpo but negative on two other tests. My first HCG was only a 9 lol so needless to say the doctors weren't very positive til I made them realize that its VERY early! My #'s have continued to double and the last set of numbers I got yesterday almost tripled not just doubled in exactly 48 hrs so that was very reassuring the doctor said. I have however been having spotting/light bleeding since two days after finding out. I also had very painful pains (wouldn't really call it cramping) last fri and sat to the point I went to the ER but they said my cervix was closed and HCG was good and my doc told me he thinks the pain was from everything stretching and adjusting. They have no explanation for the bleeding though. It varies from brown to pink to bright red and is now staying pink/red but its really only when I wipe and every once in a while a tiny drop on a pantyliner. The doc did an ultrasound last week to check things out and saw nothing bad but really saw nothing at all besides what he believes was the beginning of the sac. I go back Monday for another U/S where they are hoping to see the sac at least. A friend of mine is pregnant and 8 weeks ahead of me and she has had bleeding (red) on and off the whole time and things are well so I am holding onto hope but scared all at the same time. Also my progesterone levels were only a 9.5 but my doctor doesn't seem concerned. I am on 200mg suppositories and thought my progesterone would be higher than that but then I read that some types of progesterone only go to the placenta and don't really affect the blood levels? Is that true? Anyone else have bleeding in early pregnancy or throughout their whole pregnancy?

He's 3 1/2 years old now. 
I am really trying to be positive but everyone keeps saying I am being negative. I tell them no I am just being realistic. I go back in two weeks for another U/S to hopefully see a heartbeat but that seems like a lifetime away. If the bleeding gets worse I have no problem going to the ER to get checked for peace of mind if thats what it takes though. I just need to make it through at least the first 10 weeks then I will feel better. I sure hope by then the bleeding stops though...
