Is this another miscarriage...

Got ' Pregnant' on my test this morning, but now it's afternoon and I'm cramping (period-like pain) and spotting very lightly.

Feeling desperate now - if that's what it is, it'll be my 5th miscarriage.

We don't have any children and I'm 32. Please share your stories of hope if you have any.

Sorry you're going through this @SavedByGraceAlone. Is it strong cramps? Dull cramping and implantation spotting is common, I had it for 2 days after getting BFP and then again weeks 5 and 7. 11 now and all okay. But I understand the anxiety having had 2 MCs, 36 here and hoping for my first.
Are you getting any medical support for recurrent miscarriages?

Thank you for the encouragement @stardust00 , it really helps! I hope it's a healthy pregnancy for you and you pass the important 12 weeks mark soon!

Yes, I had tests done privately twice and both times found nothing wrong, just 'bad luck'...

Still cramping now but less spotting, feels so much like a period that husband and I can't help be very worried.

@SavedByGraceAlone Oh that must be so heartbreaking, “just bad luck”. Thank you for your kind wishes and fingers crossed for you x

Thanks @stardust00! Hope you're feeling well.
I had HCGs taken this morning and they're only at 20, which seems so ridiculously low... I know it's the progression that matters, so we'll have to wait and see later this week.

Hoping for a good progression @SavedByGraceAlone 🙏
