Does having blood streaks after finding out about pregnancy affect the child's development?

Patient's question:

I came to finish work from September 9th to September 17th. My menstrual cycle has always been irregular, with periods ranging from 20 to 30 days, and even over 40 days. On September 30th, I tested positive for pregnancy, but on the 31st, I had pinkish blood and went to the hospital for an ultrasound, where no gestational sac was found. On October 1st, I had a blood test, and the progesterone level was 7.16, with another value over a thousand. Sometimes I have irregular, needle-like pain in my abdomen. Can the baby be saved?

Doctor's answer:

From the careful ultrasound examination results, it should be an intrauterine pregnancy, about the size of approximately 34 days of gestation. No signs of rupture were detected within the uterus. Therefore, even a small amount of bleeding does not interfere with the normal development of the embryo. In this case, more than half of the embryos would not be affected. You can have another blood test for human chorionic gonadotropin. If it has increased to around 3,000, it proves that the embryo has been developing normally, and there is no need to worry. Rest, avoid sexual intercourse, and avoid strenuous exercise. Maintain a positive mindset, which will help promote the embryo's development in a positive direction.
