question: Hi. I m 8 weeks pregnant (by my last period) with my third child, I ve had all the symptoms and four positive tests. I started spotting brown Saturday and then it progressed to a full blown period and severe cramps and abdominal pain. I went in for an ultrasound and they didn t find a heartbeat but saw a misshaped gestational sac and a yolk sac. The Doctor wasn t very helpful other than saying it s a possible miscarriage. Is there anyway I could possibly be at an earlier gestational age? And if so what would cause the bleeding? Thanks!
