They did an ultrasound and and blood test and they told me to go to my obgyn in a couple days to keep up on it but i dont have one yet or they said to go back to the ER but this morning i went to the bathroom n wiped and a big blood clot along with little ones came out..idk im freaking out idk wht it could be or wht to do cuz i dont have medicade yet..do u have any idea wht this could be or wht i should do?? This will be my 4th child if all is well

Hello.
I am afraid that such heavy bleeding with clots does not bear well with the pregnancy. It is suggestive of a spontaneous abortion.
However, there are 2 other possibilities.
1. You were not pregnant but the period was delayed and you experienced the normal menstrual flow, albeit delayed due to some reason (stress, illness, hormonal imbalance). Hormonal levels of FSH and LH and also beta HCG may help confirm this.
2. You are pregnant and the bleeding is from the lower part of your reproductive tract due to any injury/ rupture of blood vessels. This is quite unlikely, though it ca only be confirmed by an internal examination. If this is indeed the case, at 7 weeks pregnancy can be confirmed by transvaginal ultrasound.
Hope this helps. Wishing you good health.

Dr Geeta
