Have I miscarried or not? Have I bled enough!?

[MelanieAmber]

So this seems ridiculous but I can't work out if I miscarried or not -

At 5 wks 3 days I had some spotting/bleeding - about as heavy as spotting can be but no clots/no need for a pad/less than a period. It lasted about a week with one day of heavier and lighter before/after. Also had cramps which isn't a great sign.

Few other pregnancy symptoms (I only realised I was pregnant about when the bleeding started)

So I'm just really trying to work out if I lost 'enough' for it to be a miscarriage? So far tests still resolutely positive and about the same line strength.

not sure where you’re from but often you can self refer to your local early pregnancy assessment unit. I bled a lot in my first pregnancy and had a healthy baby boy, my second pregnancy I bled on and off for 3 days and miscarried at 16 weeks. It’s very hard to say, they usually advise to monitor the bleeding and repeat the test in two weeks time. Hopefully it’s nothing but best to seek some advice xx
