5weeks need help!

So I’m 5 weeks pregnant with first pregnancy and started to bleed yesterday I’m pretty sure with the amount of blood to expect a miscarriage however it just doesn’t seem “right” and I need abit of advice

everything was fine up until yesterday morning when I started to get strong cramps, the cramping went however I had a increase in watery discharge, i started spotting bright pink blood early afternoon, and was pretty much on and off the rest of the day, the bleeding has carried on and increased/got worse it is now a bright dark red colour and looks more like period blood, however I’m slightly concerned with the lack of cramps and blood clots, the only cramping I have is a dull ache around my lower stomach/ bikini line and I have basically no clots other than maybe one or two in the toilet but even then it’s very light, not even enough to bleed onto a pad I have no “period symptom” iv had no intense cramps no nothing! I have had more cramps/clotting during a period than this, is this maybe just the start? Is this classed as pretty normal with it being so early?

I’m currently going through my first miscarriage at 6 weeks and I’ve had a similar experience so far. Started with 3 days of on/off pink and red spotting with no cramps. Blood increased a little and cramps started but still not massively heavy and no big clots passed yet. Normally with cramps like this on a period, I would be bleeding heavily so I’m not sure whether that’s still to come. As I’m still early into miscarrying, I’m not sure what’s “normal” but what you’re experiencing sounds “normal” based on what mine is like so far. I think it varies quite a bit person to person from what I’ve read?

@oldmcdonald87 tbh I feel this probably is normal aswell think I’m trying to hold onto a little bit of hope it not a miscarriage when it clearly probably is

my cramps are very very mild at the moment just passing a lot of blood still kind of wish I had the cramps because at least I would know what’s going on

im so so sorry your dealing with this too 💔
