So I was due the 16th.
Took preg tests all negative

Then I wiped and got red blood. And some minor cramping.

Told hubs that its my period.
But its not normal.
When I pee there isnt any blood.
Its just wiping.
And on the pad theres just a little bit of brown blood.

So IDK, maybe its just the effects of the miscarriage (had a m/c in december)
but it doesnt feel like a real period.

What do you all think?

Please be blunt, if you think Im holding onto hope for now reason let me know please!

My periods always start with light spotting when I wipe, and the real cramps don't start until the heavy flow starts. If that's not normal for you, though, just keep an eye on it for a few days. Know that it is likely to turn into AF, and that maybe she is a little weird this month because you are still getting back to normal after your loss. If AF doesn't start in full force in a few days, take another test. Spotting can happen in early pg, too.

I hope you can find some peace with whatever happens.

Oh HUN... HUGS... It has only been two months since your loss... It can take some women up to a year for thier body to return to some kind of normal... I know after my d/c it took 5 months for my body to JUST start to feel normal.. Than after my third loss... I had so many pregnancy syptoms..... that were my new "Normal" pre menstural signs... Sore bbs like I had never had before, constipation, and so many others.. I swore I was pregnant if I went by the syptoms.. I wish this was cut and dry... but that is part of the TTCAL journey.... and it sucks. If you are getting negative HPT's.... either A you are not pregnant... or B it is still to early.. If you are starting to spot.. I would think.. this is just AF starting to show.. I would give it a few days... if you don't have any more bleeding than test again.. HUGS..

Hi Nicole,

I would suppose it is pre-AF spotting and if she doesn't fully show in a few days then perhaps test again. My AF's were like that as well, she would "let me know" she was coming a couple days in advance with some spotting pink or even a light tannish.

I'm sorry Nicole that AF has been so wonky and is teasing you right now... but no, holding onto a hope isn't a bad thing it's what keeps us going! So hold onto hope and don't give up, like I said before if she doesn't show in a few days then test again ya never know stranger things have happened!

That is pretty much how AF started for me this cycle.

i am currently going thru the same exact thing you are and it is my af starting.

not saying that this is true for you tho! i agree with the pp's. just wait a few days. if still no real af then test again - you just never can tell with these things

Update*

Bleeding has almost completely stopped
Now its just brownish discharge
and pinkish when I wipe.
