Am I still Pregnant? 6/5/12

Hi, I am apparently 6weeks + 2 days pregnant with my 3rd child (different father, this would be his first). I started bleeding on Thursday 3rd May AM, I called the DR who booked me in for a check up with the EPAC at my local hospital on Friday 4th May, at the appt the Nurse gave me another pregnancy test which was positive but very feint, she advised me to do another test in a week ( Thursday 10th May) just to make sure.
The bleeding started off at 9:45am and was very light and pink but very slowly got heavier during the day although it was only when I was active, I had no blood in my underwear until I went to the toilet and wiped, this continued until around 8pm, when I was putting my 2 kids to bed I felt something move / fall, I put them to bed as normal then went to the bathroom to check, there was a 2" long lump (not a blood clot) of something in my pad and then another fell away as I sat on the toilet. I described this to the Nurse on Friday, she said that this coupled with the blood strongly suggests a miscarriage. The bleeding is very light and painless, although I can feel occasional twinges in my womb, but continuing nevertheless, it mostly resemblems heavy spotting now.
I dont 'feel' pregnant anymore but even this is difficult to distinguish as with my other 2 pregnancies I had absolutely no symptoms between getting a positive test and the babies first wriggle around 16 weeks.

I've read up alot on miscarriages lately and I dont seem to fit in anywhere, most of what I've read describes heavy bleeding and serious period-like cramps with big or regular blood clots, none of which I'm experiencing. I have passed some clots but nothing bigger than a 2 pence piece and it was flat, not round or anything.

Has anyone experienced the same and had a good outcome? I'm at a complete loss!! :(

I haven't had any experience like this, I have had 3 miscarriages but all missed. I think only a scan and maybe bloods will tell you if you are still pregnant. I really hope you are xx try and take it easy and see what this week brings. That is really hard I know xx best of luck to you- and I hope someone comes along with some wise words soon xx

Hi Batteryhen, I am so sorry for your losses!!

The EPAC simply said there was nothing they could do for me, I'm guessing I have to just ride it out starting with the next test on thursday to confirm??

I know there are far worse things going on in the world but I cant help but ask Why has this happened?? :(
Thank you again xxx
