Hi, I'm not a doctor, but I'll relay my experience. In my first pregnancy I had a little spotting at 6 weeks. To put my mind at ease they did an HCG. It was 25,000. The u/s showed no heartbeat, but then showed one at 7 weeks. I had a good pregnancy after that. Hope that helps and that your pregnancy continues!!!
