Hello Doctor,
I recently found out I am pregnant, and I am approximately 6-7 weeks along. However, I have been experiencing bleeding, and I have noticed some blood clots. I'm concerned about what this might mean. Could you please advise on what steps I should take next?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Given the symptoms you’ve described, it's important to rule out a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, both of which can cause bleeding and clotting in early pregnancy. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They will likely order a blood test to check hormone levels, a urine test to confirm pregnancy, and possibly an ultrasound scan to assess the situation and determine the cause of the bleeding. It’s crucial to address this promptly to ensure your health and the health of the pregnancy. Please seek immediate medical attention to discuss your symptoms further.
Thanks
