I have had bleeding and spotting during the first trimester + with all
of my pregnancies. During the 1st successful one I bled until 16
weeks... Only on the 3rd could they actually see the site where the
bleeding was coming from (subchorionic hemmorhage) on the u/s. My
doctor had me come in every week and I had 2-3 u/s... Hopefully
everything is fine with your pregnancy - even if you bleed for several
weeks everything can still be fine...
