HI,
I understand your concern.
Once pregnancy is diagnosed 4 times bleeding is not normal.
You have to evaluate pregnancy once more with blood HCG testing. In case it is +ve, consult a gynecologist ,
-Ectopic pregnancy-- Pregnancy test +ve with slight bleeding frequently & abdominal pain goes in favor of ectopic pregnancy. You didn't mention about pain- so let's hope it's not be ectopic.
Still, you should consult a gynecologist to rule out ectopic pregnancy.Transvaginal sonography is the differentiating investigation between normal & ectopic pregnancy.( Medical/surgical treatment is given for ectopic pregnancy.)
- The miscarriage has progressive bleeding & pain which you don't have.
- After examining you , if it's normal pregnancy, doctor will advise for suplliment of hormone progesteron, which supports the pregnancy & progesteron deficiency is common cause of bleeding like you have( threatend abortion.)
Medication with rest is the answer for threaten abortion.
Thanks
