I had my last actual confirmed period about 3 weeks ago, I think around the third of 3 april . Had sex just afterwards (thinking it was safe) One week ago (last Thursday) I started bleeding quite heavily. I also had something like a painless contractions, felt faint and tired for a few days. I am still bleeding a little (turned to brownish discharge) I feel a pressure sensation in my pelvic area, I havent passed any clots. I did a pregnancy test last week, but it was negative.
Any thoughts?

It could be but if you did a pg test and it was negative it's unlikely as the pg hormones hang around for ages even after you have m/c.

It might be to early to show up on the test though.

What are you thinking? Do you think you were pregnant? I think it would have been too soon to be a 'heavy bleed' even if it was/is a MC.

Can understand that the not knowing will bug you, but I think sometimes it is better not to know IYKWIM?

Are you TTC'ing?

I had an early miscarriage a few years ago, and the symptoms were similar in that, Ihad a period then two weeks later had another and then again in two weeks. At that time i did a pregnancy test which was negative, but a couple weeks later it was poistive but very faintly. I am just thinking that feels like the same is happening again. I am not TTC and dont want to be pregnant but am still interested in whats happening to my body, it doesnt feel right. AM going to GP this afternoon.
