Am I having a miscarriage?

My last AF was around the last 2 weeks of Sept. About 4 or so weeks after that, I'd had some spotting that lasted 2 days, very light. My AF's have never been regular, but I'd been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms throughout late Oct./Nov. Now, I'd taken 2 HPT's around early/mid October, but 2 BFN! Yet it seems my preg. sypmtoms are worsening. So, wouldn't it be, if I were actually pregnant, it would have shown up on those tests? Bloating, lower belly seemed to be pushing out, tender breasts and very sensitive nipples (breasts are obviously larger too), every now and then bouts of queasiness, smell & taste hsa changed with certain foods, back pain (more recently), using the bathroom a lot more and when I do go, it seems as if I can feel my bladder emptying out like something is putting pressure on it, and that's about it. I've noticed lately, that when I orgasm, I get (what would be normal cramps for me) immediately after for like 5-10 min. Mood swinging like crazy, tender tummy.. My man and I have been TTC for sometime now, and if it were actually pregnancy.. well. All hope is now gone. All last night I'd had some cramping, but no blood. Until this morning. I started to feel mild cramps coming on, and I had to use the bathroom. So, I went and there you have it. Blood.. mild cramping. I stil have the same symptoms of a possible pregnancy.. but this makes me think it was all false, and maybe I had a cyst or SOMETHING is going on down there! My question is, how do you know you are having a M/C and is bleeding okay if you were actually pregnant? And what else could cause abdominal swelling if it is not pregnancy? I am very confused, hopefully will be making a Gyn. appt sometime this month, once my insurance difficulties clear up.

Does any of this sound familiar? I am just so scared right now.. Reading through some of these posts on here, just make me burst into tears that just maybe, I was infact preg. but to think that I am having a M/C tears me apart... and I don't even know if I am actually preg!! I guess I am, basically, just losing it over here..

if you suspect you might be pregnant and think you are having a m/c then go to the ER and get checked out. then you will have peace of mind and can relax a bit. i hope it all turns out well. good luck.

I cannot go anywhere, funds are so low nowadays.. I feel such at a loss, I am bawling my eyes out thinking it is a M/C. My brests do not feel as tender and my nipples are not nearly as sensitive as they were. I am so scared.. I've been doing some calling around about free or cheap clinics so I can get a blood test taken. I am new to this area, so this is all so frustrating and stressful. I am at a loss. Thank you for your thoughts though, it means a lot.

you can always work out a payment plan if you go to the ER. they cant refuse to see you because of lack of money. even if you call the hospital the doctor on call will tell you to come in and get checked out anyways. do you have unbearable pain and bleeding? if you do then it could be a m/c and you would still have to get checked out so they can make sure that it was a complete m/c. my sister had a m/c this summer and had to have all the stuff removed from where the baby was (she had a D&C).
