Feeling calmer. Now what?

Thanks to those who commented on my thread yesterday.

I'm feeling a lot more fatalistic about it all today, although it's knowing that I didn't take a test before bleeding started and can't prove 100% that I was pregnant. All I know is that the symptoms were identical to what I felt in my first pregnancy and I'm not sure it's even possible to manufacture those feelings, particularly the heightened sense of smell which was very striking right up until I started bleeding.

I haven't been to the doc because of the negative results mainly, and also because while the bleeding of still heavier than a normal period, if anything it's less painful. I have therefore assumed that this means my body is dealing well with the physical side of things? Hope this is the right thing to do. I will obviously go if I get any more pains or fever.

I don't have much of a clue how much I can expect bleeding to go on for but guess it's hard to predict.

Anyway, just wanted to get this firm somewhere as I want to move on to hopefully happier things.

Thank you.
Only thing that doesn't seem normal is am intermittent pain that feels like it comes from my cervix rather than the usual tummy cramps associated with period pain. Does that sound like anything to worry about?

I had stabbing type pains in my cervix when I miscarried and passed some very heavy lumps, but my periods are heavy, if it doesnt go away with pain killers it may be worth a quick call to the doctors just for peace of mind
