Hi,
I'm 6 weeks along when yesterday I had light cramps. I went to the bathroom and the tp was pink... later on that day I wiped again and there was a small white booger looking thing on the tp (sorry for the tmi I just want to be thorough). And very light bleeding. I thought I misscarried and went to the store for pads but last night and today the blood is just a spot on the pads.... did I miscarry? Im unable to go to the dr yet as my insurance has not yet started ( the pregnancy was a surprise).... has anyone else had this issue?

Didn't want to read and run - can you get a good quality pregnancy test if you do not want to go to the Dr?

Congratulations
No, it doesn't sound like you have miscarried (Im not an expert), it sounds like the fertilised egg embedding in your uterus and dislodging some blood. Perfectly normal and very common. Or it could that your period is due, and your body is adjusting to being pregnant. Similarly many women experience white mucus when their period is due while they are pregnant.
If you are worried I'd give your nearest early pregnancy unit a call (google will give you the number of your nearest) - unless you are not in the UK, in which case I have no idea how you would contact a health professional!

I think the general consensus is that if you don't produce enough blood to fill a pad in a few hours everything is ok.

Best of luck
