HI,
I understand your concern.
Once pregnant, there should be no bleeding. It needs a gynecologist's consultation to pin point the cause & start with specific treatment right then.
* Such bleeding at 7-8 weeks pregnancy can be a weak pregnancy needing hormonal support for it's maintenance/ It can be threatened abortion/infection in genital tract/ it can abnormality in pregnancy like blighted ovum or tubal pregnancy.
If not yet confirmed by pregnancy test/ USG/ doctor's consultation.. it can be simply menstrual abnormality because of hormonal imbalance/ PCOD/ ovarian or thyroid disorder.
* Dull ache in lower abdomen is common in early pregnancy... but sever cramping need investigations & gynecological examination followed by specific management.You should take bed rest & consult the earliest.
Thanks.
