I had a ton of bleeding & menstrual-style cramping throughout the first 1 1/2 trimesters of pregnancy #3... One u/s showed what "might" be a SCH, but never any definitive explanation. In my previous pregnancies, I'd had one day of brown spotting and 2-3 days of pinkish spotting, both between 6 and 8 weeks, so this was totally different. I never got an explanation, but kid #3 is almost 3 now.

But I'm definitely not a medical expert, so I wouldn't want to speculate on what any of this means. I had some first trimester spotting from a SCH, but the rest of the pregnancy was totally normal.

Thanks! Was just curious. My HCG with my last pregnancy (which ended in mmc) was also high - 52K at 6 weeks.
