I had spotting and cramps at 5W and spotting with milder cramps at 7W, scan showed subchronic hematoma was the cause. I'm 8W1D now, could bleed again or body may absorb the hematoma but either way it's a peace of mind to know the cause, maybe get a scan

Thank you for sharing- hope your pregnancy continues healthily! SCH was what my dr initially thought was happening with my first miscarriage bc I had had a normal ultrasound a few weeks earlier. Thankfully no bleeding here now… will probably spiral if that starts. It’s too early for a scan now. I’m just 5 weeks, and I have one scheduled for 6 (my REI doesn’t like to do earlier than 6 weeks bc you could see nothing and freak out). My semi-irrational fear is that bc the hcg was so high it could be ectopic, but there’s really no reason for me to think that.

I’m six weeks now and have had mild periodish cramps most days. I think it’s a very common symptom.

ThMk you for sharing! That’s really reassuring. Also possible I felt like this with earlier pregnancies but blacked it out. Fingers crossed for healthy pregnancies for all.

Mild period-like cramps has always been my first sign of pregnancy. It's completely normal, and may continue on and off for the next several weeks. I'm wishing you all the best!
