What did your implantation bleeding or AF look like after MC?

So, I had an early miscarriage at the start of last June, and then I believe another in the second half of July (had bfps followed by bleeding and the bfns with both).

Then I had what I thought was my period at the start of September. It was more like spotting, a mixture of brown and fresh blood and very clotty.

I did a test last week and got a clear bfp. Saw Dr on Friday to get referred for my 12 week scan.
Yesterday I thought I felt movement, a bit like a fish gently flipping/swimming (this is DC2 by the way). I believe I felt it again today but I am wondering a) is it all in my head b) uterus stretching c) digestion d) or was that implantation bleeding I had trailer than my period?

I also had a MC in June and my period afterwards was pretty much the same as you've described, very clotty.

I think our minds plays tricks on us as I'd been feeling flutters as well and wondered if the last period had been implantation, but an emergency ultrasound on Friday confirmed a MMC (was 9+2 on Friday but gestational sac empty).

I think that, especially after MC, we want to be able to feel something to put our minds at rest that everything is ok and we want to believe that every flutter is something it isn't.

Hope your 12 week scan goes ok. When is it?

Thanks for your reply @hewegoagain. I am sorry to hear you have had disappointing news last week!

It is difficult!! Though it is a good thing that you (and I) are able to conceive to start with. I was only referred to the Midwives last week so I have no idea when it will be.

The mind can do weird things can't it. My hubby actually felt it last night too, but again, it might be wind or something. I suppose I am not really thinking about how trapped wind feels like etc when I'm not aware I am pregnant. We just want to get to the 12 week scan after having had miscarriages don't we... it is not easy. I hope you are OK!!
