What could this be?

I am 5 weeks along. Went to the doctor, did blood and urine test and even did a vaginal scan. Doctor said it’s too early to detect anything on the screen so ask to come back soon to do another blood test and scan. Now I’m experiencing bleeding. It started yesterday and it got heavier today. I’m not sure what is going on. Cos everything now - bleeding, headache, cramps - all seems to be like menses to me. What could this be?#pleasehelp

Update: Went down to the KKH and did another blood test. Doctor said it seems like a biochemical pregnancy. Blood test results shows that my hcg levels has gone down. From 49.8 to 31.4. She mentioned that hcg by right should drop down by half. But she didn’t specifically said it was a miscarriage… she just briefly said that it is most likely to be a biochemical pregnancy. And that another blood test is required to monitor hcg levels. I asked her if I’m still pregnant - she said yes but couldn’t detect anything from scan. But if the upcoming hcg level is still not dropping. It might be an ectopic pregnancy. She also mentioned that it’s not gonna be a healthy pregnancy if indeed hcg level is still above 25. So, I’m just like - did I just experienced miscarriage? Am I still pregnant and expecting a child? I don’t know. I don’t know how to feel sad.
