Miscarriage worries

Hi all, I’ve come here for a bit of advice/reassurance/a kick up the bum.
I am 7 weeks pregnant (having had a miscarriage 5 x years ago). Everything with this pregnancy was going perfectly, no blood at all and only the odd expected pain.

Yesterday my other half and I had sex, following which there was dark brown blood. I had instantly had a panic attack and called the GP but was reassured that it wasn’t unusual; they weren’t worried. This morning I woke up with some lower back pain (I’ve had a bit since conceiving) which was more than usual, went to the loo and a clump of dark red blood came out with no warning. Since that time I’ve had some blood when wiping and a little bit of pain, after going to the loo (sorry TMI) the pain has stopped. I went to the walk in, and positive pregnancy test but have an appointment with emergency Gyno at 3:30pm today.
Has anyone experienced the above before? Is it like I’m having or have had a miscarriage? I still have nausea and breast pain.
Just want to talk about it with people who have experienced similar  thank you x

I haven’t had anything similar from sex but I’m also 6+4 and had some spotting and went to the walk in who did a pregnancy test but he didn’t seem to concerned. I have been told that spotting can be normal and intercourse can also cause spotting. The fact that’s it’s a darker colour I’d think is good since it’s old. Fingers crossed for you today

Hi RachaelRed, I'm in a similar situation as you were. If you don't mind me asking, what happened when you went for a check up?

Hi @Happysong, I’m so sorry I only just saw this. I had a miscarriage after the bleed. I hope you’re okay and it was better news for you x

Hi @RachaelRed. I had a miscarriage too. I also had sex with my other half the day before I started bleeding so I'm sure it what triggered the miscarriage. I'm just feeling so guilty and upset. I feel like it's my fault. I'm still getting a positive pregnancy test.
I'm too scared to try again now. Such a awful feeling.
Hope you are well and I'm sorry if this post has brought back bad memories for you.
