HI there...well, if you are like me, the only sign that I had was my preg symptoms slowed down (nausea, tightening of the uterus, breast soarness) I actually had no spotting at all. Most times if you are m/c then you would start to spot pink or red (new blood) or have slight cramping.
Hopefully you are not going through this at all and will be lucky enough to carrying on. Good luck to you!

i misscarried a month ago and i supose it depends how far on you are. Ill tell you my signs if it helps but basically you know.

I was 12 weeks so symtoms quite severe.

Day1 Started with light bleeding was scanned and told baby still there and not to worry. No Pain

In day 2 bleeding subsided and thought was off the hook. No Pain

Day 3 woke uo with cramping pains but different from normal. Started in my lower back and came round to front. Came in waves all day. Not much blood.

Evening of day 3, stood up as pains so severe and had a massive blood clot come out, thought it was baby so was taken to casualty. Alot more flooding and clots, collapsed in waiting room with pain and blood loss. Admitted for evening

Day 4. Scanned. Amazling with such a horrendous loss the baby was still there but no heart beat.So had a D&C.

I do know a high percentage of women miscarry even when they didnt know they were pregnant this is called a missed miscarriage, and things get back to normal almost immediatlet. You will have a heavier period maybe a few days late.

Hope this helped,take care xxx

P.s i also had posotive pregnancy test for a few days after the D&C because of the hormones
