Hello, I'm hoping some of you ladies may be able to help me as I'm not sure as this hasn't happened to me before. Got a bfp 12dpo & 13dpo. Period was due 14dpo. I tested again on the morning of 16dpo and had barely a squinter. By the afternoon I found bright red blood when I wiped in the toilet so assumed I am miscarrying (this was Friday). I spoke to an epau who said not to worry about a little bleeding and to test again in two weeks - if positive they could scan me. If bleeding got worse then to follow up with my gp.
So the bleeding has continued this weekend along with af type cramping. I'm using pads (not used them for 20 years) and the flow just seems really light compared to what I'd expect from my period. It's still bright red (would normally be darker and thicket by now) with tiny clots (I normally get massive clots in my periods that are dark red - sorry, TMI)
I guess I'm not asking if I'm miscarrying or not, I think that's what's happened as the cramps have been like my period and also my pregnancy symptoms of nausea and sore boobs have all but gone now. My question is why is the bleeding so light compared to af? I thought there would be clots lile normal but it's nothing like normal and it's confusing me a lot
