Pregnancy bleeding : Bleeding in pregnancy is never normal but s very common. At 5 weeks one expects to see a small sac but it is too early to see a fetus. Bleeding increases the risk of miscarriage. A low Progesterone has some correlation to nonviable pregnancies. In these cases you simply have to wait. Time will tell. Best of luck to you.
