Well I had some spotting today. I called my doctor and she had me get another lab test for the hcg level. I'll know the results tomorrow. I'm pretty scared though. The receptionist didn't make a big deal out of it. She just told me that if I have bad cramping and heavy bleeding, I need to go...

That would probably be a good choice if you have to choose for yourself. But as another respondant said, it really doesn't seem you have any indications for...
