Spotting or light bleeding in early pregnancy is common and does not necessarily indicate a miscarriage. Many women experience spotting during the first trimester of pregnancy, and most go on to have healthy pregnancies.

Bleeding during pregnancy that is accompanied by abdominal cramping or significant blood loss or is heavier than your regular period could be a sign of miscarriage.

The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level of 267 mIU/mL at five weeks of pregnancy is within the expected range. hCG levels can vary dramatically, even in normal pregnancies, and should be interpreted and trended in correlation with clinical findings

The best way to know for sure if the symptoms were from an early miscarriage is to see your doctor or midwife so they can evaluate all factors to determine what was happening at the time and offer support or additional testing if needed. Most common causes for bleeding in early pregnancy includes implantation or cervical irritation during sex.
