Miscarriage or just a scare ?

Heyy, i always turn to this for advice and I feel like this is the best place to get real life advice.
So basically august last year I had a MMC found out at my 12 week scan, me and my partner decided that we want to try again as I'm not getting any younger.
So I am now 7 weeks pregnant (if my dates are right )
This morning I had a wee and when I wiped I noticed a small amount of bright red blood.
I instantly panicked especially after my last miscarriage. I haven't had any bleeding since ( 8 hours later) but I have been getting some low stomach cramps here and there. I managed to get a doctors appointment to be referred to early pregnancy unit for a scan but I can't be seen until tomorrow now which is making my nerves go insane 😢

I feel like 7 weeks would be to far to be getting implantation bleeding and pains maybe ?

Could someone please share their similar story with me so I can see if I can settle my nerves to see if this could be the start of another miscarriage or if it's just a little scare?

I took another pregnancy test today and it's still as strong as the others so maybe that's a-bit of hope maybe 🤔

I still have the odd cramp here and there but nothing extremely painful

Miscarriage or just a scare ?

I miscarried at just past 6 weeks and from the start had sudden heavy bleeding no clots, mild pain and then two days later passed the full pregnancy in one go. The bleeding never stopped for me like yours has, and I tested negative as soon as I was bleeding. obviously I’m not a professional but it doesn’t sound similar to mine at all, so I hope this reassures you, and I hope you get the news you want at your appointment ❤️

Hope your scan goes well today. The truth is that it could go either way. For some it's the start of a loss but lots of women have bleeding and cramps and go on to have a perfectly healthy baby. Fingers crossed that everything is fine. Sending you love and strength for today 💓

So iv woke up and still no more bleeding so it's been 24 hours now.

How did your scan go @Rosh16

Bless you thank you for checking in, so basically I'm still non the wiser, my dates was meant to be 7 weeks + 1 days they done an internal scan but they couldn't see a fetal pole, they could see a nice round yolk sac and everything else where it should be and no sign of bleeding so they are saying that my dates could be wrong. They are saying I'm about 5 weeks and want me to go back in two weeks for a re scan, they was lovely and positive about it so fingers crossed I will just run of their positivity and try not to think to much about it.
I used Flo app to track my ovulation which is normally around the 14th-18th but I didn't get ovulation pain last month until the 25th so that would make me about 5 weeks + 4 days. So I'm just clinging on to that little bit of hope that my dates just could of been wrong 😑

Ahhh hopefully you just ovulate late then. Your scan sounds normal for less than 6 weeks. At least you are booked in now for another scan and that one could be super exciting!

Hopefully 🤞 just the long wait now hoping that nothing changes and no more bleeding.
Done the silly thing and Googled way to much which I need to stop 🤦‍♀️
