Might be a miscarriage?

Question

Hi everyone. I found out I was pregnant a few days ago and have been experiencing a range of emotions from overjoyed to terrified. I’m 5 weeks pregnant and have been feeling really good. My husband and I have been trying for quite awhile. (I’m 38 and he’s almost 40). Anyways, I woke up a few minutes ago and went to the bathroom to find pink/light red blood on the toilet paper. I’m freaking out. Is this a miscarriage? How do you know the difference between miscarriage and spotting which is apparently normal? I’m really scared.

Answer

Apparently pinkish spotting is normal, however if it’s heavier it may be an early miscarriage. In that scenario it’ll continue to get darker and you should feel more cramping, stomach sensitivity and swelling. Contact your GP(doc) and have a chat with them. 
I’m in day 2 of my early miscarriage at 5wks 4days.
Sending you all my best wishes. 💛💛

Answer

There is no real way to know for sure without seeing the doctor/getting quantitative HCG tested. Usually spotting will not persist to another day and doesn’t fill a pantyliner.

Answer

Usually if your 1-3 days supposed to start your period it can be a chemical. If you start cramping that’s when you should worry. I’m one of the ones who have been getting pregnant every month since May. And I haven’t been able to pass my 8th week.
