Were these symptoms of the MC?

Hello, I?m a regular poster, but have name changed for this.
I just wondered if anyone could give me a bit of perspective on what happened. We had a contraception fail in August, resulting in a positive pregnancy test just after AF was due. But I miscarried very early, at 5 ½ weeks about two weeks ago. Started bleeding just before getting on a long haul flight, so spent the time up and down from my seat, struggling to manage things. I bled heavily for six days, then about a day later, developed terrible stomach cramps that went on for about five days. I couldn?t keep anything down food wise either.
So what I want to know is this. Was that part of the MC, or was I just unlucky and got a stomach bug at the same time? I have MCed before and nothing like this happened.
I was so excited, as DH is against having another (we have one) and I really want another. Sad

Hi
Sorry for your loss!
It's really hard to advise you. Have you seen a doctor?
It really could be just a stomach bug, but you need to be checked out to make sure it wasn't an infection.
Good luck!

Thank you for the prompt response, ruggles. I didn't think of that. I feel well on the mend now though, other than my head...

It could be, or it might not be, I don't think anyone can tell you for sure. Might as well get a check over though.
