weird AF, or m/c??

i'm REALLY confused now!!! i was just about 5 days late when i started what i thought was AF~ cramping, but only mildly, and the first day was just brown-ish spotting... now, day 2 of "AF", i'm having light, but thick dark-ish bleeding (what is there looks almost thick enough, but the wrong consistancy of clotting...), and there is some grey-brown matter mixed in- the only time i've seen that grey-brown stuff was when i was bleeding postpartum, after my 9 month old was born (lochia)

???? what's going on here??? just a strange AF? maybe i miscarried early?? or could i still be pregnant, and this is implantation bleeding??? (i never had implant. bleeding with my 9 month old)

any help here would be great!! should i call my DR, and see what's up??

Did you ever find anything out? This exact thing happened to me a few days ago!

when i miscarried back in april, i had killer cramps and i had a lot of blood, and brownish and greyish clots, and everything, y'know, down there was really thick. it started out with just brown and then started bleeding like a mofo!! i ended up needing a DNC.

i'd call your doctor...

it's actually REALLY strange... i had the thick discharge (brown-red, almost a maroon, really), mixed with really thin pink... the tiny grey-brown clumpies mixed in...

then, day 2, i was bright red bleeding w/ pink, but not nearly as heavy as normal...(like day 4, instead of day 1)~ and day 3 (today) i'm down to nothing again... well, VERY light pink, but i could have used 1 pantiliner all day, and still be good to go... there was just nothing there~

i was soooo convinced i was pregnant, though... and i really think i was, and miscarried early... either that or i still am, and just had a really strange bleeding episode! (i've got a 9 month old, so i know what my preggo symptoms are...) there were no clots at all, and there are usually PLENTY of them... it's just really odd

i am going to wait a day or 2, and if no more bleeding, i will take a home test (in case i still am, so i can get to my DR) or i'll call them and see what they want me to do~ i'm not really worried about it, but i still am confused, a bit~

i've heard from most ppl, though, that it sounds like a miscarraige that they had, really early on~ so, i'm assuming that's what this is/ was- my pregnancy symptoms are still lurking about, a bit, but most have subsided (nausea still here, as is a bit of dizzyness, and bloating)~

anyway, thanks for asking! will keep you posted!
