I've been noticing these large purple bruises showing up on my left breast, stomach, and thigh, and they're really warm. I haven't injured myself, so it's weird. Plus, the left side of my abdomen has been having this sharp pain and I've missed my period for about five days. What could be going on?

I'm really worried and need some advice. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and we tested on the 34th day, which came out positive. On the 35th day, the doctor administered HCG 5000, and the following day I noticed some spotting. I rested and the spotting reduced, but after receiving another HCG 5000 yesterday, the spotting returned after 4 hours. During a consultation with a doctor online, I was told it's normal and nothing to worry about, but the amount of spotting has increased now. Is there any way to stop this bleeding? It's our first child, and I'm really anxious about this situation. What should I do?
Spotting in early pregnancy can be common, and the HCG injections are often given to support the pregnancy. However, if the bleeding increases or you feel concerned, its important to follow up with your doctor for further guidance. Resting, staying hydrated, and monitoring the situation is key, but dont hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider if you notice any significant changes. Stay positive, and take care!
