Cramping, sore bbs after m/c?

Hello,
Lurker here with a question. DH and I have decided to TTC #3. We have 2 DS (ages 2 and 4). We got a + HPT in mid september. However, I started bleeding on Sept 24. It was different than the previous m/c I have had--can't really explain it. Anyways, I figured that it wasn't meant to be--this one wasn't going to stick. Bummed, but I have 2 beautiful, healthy little boys.

Bleeding finally stopped 3 days ago after 8 days (a bit long for me). However, I still have cramps--different than gas pains. They almost feel like ligament stetching, along with slight twinges of pain along my c-section scar. I also have lower back pain, sore breasts, bloating and nausea. All early pg symptoms. So I took another hpt and it was negative. I called my ob/gyn and talked to the nurse--she said not to worry about it since the bleeding has stopped.

I know the nurse said not to worry, but it still concerns me. I don't think I'm pg--I'm more concerned that it could be something else. If it had stuck I'd be around 6 weeks (so this was more of a chemical pregnancy than a true m/c). Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!
Erin
