What Causes Spotting After The Process Of Artificial Insemination?

Ok so I did an artificial insemenation on april 26th my last period was april 8th and my cycles are 33 days like clockwork. On the 9th I went to hospital for back pain n got treat for uti while I was there they gave me a pregnancy test which was positive and told my levels where 129. My period was due on may 11th. On may 13th I went to the doctors and he tested my levels again and they were 849 the very next day on the 14th I had some spotting around 6pm and went to the ER where they tested my levels and they were 1560 and they did a pelvic ultrasound and said they saw the sac n everything looked ok. They also treated me for a bactrial infection. I never had any cramps or pain what's so ever. I am no longer spotting. Yesterday I went bcak to doctor which would be may 20th and they did a pelvic ultrasound and said they saw the sac and nothing else which he said he wasn't worried aboit but he said next Friday may 27th we should see something and know if the baby is ok or not. He calculated me at 6wks yesterday but that's based of a 28 day cycle I think I'm only 5wks 4 days. Is what I seen on my ultrasound yesterday ok? And how far along am I based off my cycle n the only day I was insmenated? And what should I see on my ultrasound next week? The doctor I been seeing is new to me n doesn't take time to listen to me

Hi, thanks for using HCM..
I understand your concern.. There is something called implantation bleed which occurs around the next expected periods. This occurs when the fertilised egg gets implanted on to the endometrium. So nothing to worry about the bleeding.. Your hcg titre is increasing so its a growing pregnancy.. Your gestational age is calculated from the last period date irrespective of the length of the cycle.. By 5-6 weeks a gestational sac appears. By 6-7 weeks fetal pole and cardiac activity should be seen. That's what your doc is expecting in the next scan. By next scan your exact period of gestation will be known.. Dont worry.. Everything will be fine.. Hope i have answered ur queries.. Good day.
