A very weird period or implantation? Had 5 MCs so hand holding needed!

I had my last MC March 31st and I'd only had the BFP for 6 days! The bleeding was my usual heavy with clots and lasted about 5 days, all like a regular period for me. I started the OPKS soon after I stopped bleeding and eventually they looked like I was gearing up for ovulation but it never really happened, then 25th April (cd27 taking cd1 as first day of heavy bleeding) I got my dark second line (well as dark as they've ever got for me). The next day I had some mild cramps and brown spotting and a week later the stretching sensations started. Then yesterday I wiped and there was brown blood, next time pink blood and I thought right so my period is five days early for some reason (but in my head was praying it was implantation). By the evening I felt really wet down there and had to leave my scrabble game (yeah on a Friday night, how rock and roll am I?) because I felt a trickle and changed from a liner to a pad. The trickle of brown didn't get heavier though and again just had a tiny trickle of brown on the pad when I checked this morning. It's still brown blood when i wipe with some thin threads of stringy stuff. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but this is what happened with my first pregnancy (which got to almost 23 weeks) and because I didn't realise it wasn't my period for ages didn't get my BFP until I was 6 weeks. The cramps are there but not incredibly painful (like with my first). My boobs killed throughout ovulation, stopped hurting for a few days and now feel heavy and uncomfortable again. I've been stupidly tired for about a week and am finding just walking my pooch a bit of a struggle.
Any similar stories out there? If I am pregnant I'm having one more try with the clexane injections before going to Professor Regans Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic.

anyone?
The bleeding got heavier yesterday but is a dark reddy brown. Still only the mildest of cramps. I only changed the towel once yesterday and that was for hygiene rather than necessity. With my normal periods I have to change a night towel at least every hour and wear two lengthways at night because i flood. I told my DH yesterday that I was uncomfortable down there as in sore (like after my first two miscarriages) but it doesn't feel like period pain at all. Even though I was bleeding I did a digital test yesterday but that said negative. I don't know whether I should see my GP or not. I am made to feel like I'm wasting their time when I'm in the process of miscarrying let alone if I say "my period's a bit strange".
There must be someone out there who's had this?

Poor think, it all sounds really stressful, especially after all your mcs. I've had one miscarriage but it happened at 8 weeks. I then had bleeding/brown spotting on and off during my pregnancy and all was fine. If i was you i would definitely get in touch with your GP as that's what they are there for, who cares what they think.

How is everything, did you manage to see a doctor or will you just wait and see? Hope you're doing ok anyway

Thank you. No they don't open at the weekend or bank holiday and I normally have to wait two weeks anyway. It's still very light for me, teeny clots but usually they're huge. I'm not used to bleeding so little. I've been reading about anovulatory cycles and I'm wondering if this is the issue. My opts never go incredibly dark and it has been such a long cycles since the bleeding started for the mc. I've also been having trouble with my weight. My diets the same but I'm so bloated and uncomfortable and have been for ages.

Sorry your going through such a strange time hun, iv had 1 mc before and wasn't nice at all. IMO I think you could be pregnant you have described how I felt just before I found out 3wks ago. I don't want to give you false hope but it sounds like spotting maybe it's happening because usually you are so heavy you may be prone to spotting. sorry I could be completely wrong but just taking a wild guess, I really hope it is just spotting and you have a lovely lil bun in the oven x

I think I'd be more scared if I was pregnant though. Even though it's lighter than my normal period it's still as heavy as every other woman I know wold have. I've not experienced a period with no flooding at night since I first started. Maybe this is a lighter one because I miscarried and the lining hasn't built up again yet. It can't be anything like polysytic ovaries because I had a scan after the mc and everything was clear.
