Threat of miscarriag: Rising HCG is good. Early spotting is common. No reason for bedrest now bc most early miscarriage is related to the pregnancy itself being abnormal, not your activity. If you have not had an ultrasound to confirm a uterine pregnancy then be cautious of pain. You could have an ectopic pregnancy. A high Progesterone level also would be reassuring that you have a viable uterine pregnancy.
