Miscarriage without heavy bleeding?

So in week 6 I started spotting, lasted 5 days and then progressed to a light flow, last night (7 w 2 d) I passed 4 small clumps of what looked like chicken skin and now the bleeding has almost stopped. There was no pain and very little bleeding, way less than even a typical period. I had a missed miscarriage in Nov. and there was a ton of bleeding and clots. My question is, can you even miscarry with very little bleeding and only small clots (nothing bigger than my pinky nail)?

I do plan to see a doc monday, didn't think the like 7 hour ER wait as necessary being I either miscarried or whatever the problem was resolved, but the WTF of this situation has me truly confused.

I mc'd a blighted ovum at 6+ weeks in February, for me it was full AF and hurt a little bit more than usual for a few days. FX you get some answers on Monday. The not knowing and worrying is incredibly draining. Hugs xx

huh, so trying ease my mind, I take an FRER even knowing they can be positive after a MC, I was looking for no lighter no just positive, it's lighter. Then I recall reading about the hook effect.

So I took one more, no more than 20 minutes after the first, diluted it with water on top of the fact it would have been more diluted already cause I'd just peed 20 minutes ago, and the line came out darker than the control line. If I understand the hook effect right, that means my HCG is still over 1000 o.O

Sending hugs xxx

When I had a m/c of one twin with DS1 pregnancy I had no real pain and only brown spotting then light bleeding. Maybe you haven't had a full m/c and it was just a clot or like I had, a twin pg??! Hopefully you get some answers on Monday. xx

Hi, when i had a miscarriage with 1 twin i also had hardly any bleeding and not so much pain, also still felt pregnant and was with other twin. beautiful son born 14 years ago. hoping its all good for you too. xxxx

I did BTT yesterday and today and my temp is still well above my coverline too from this cycle..an entire degree and within .2 of what I was getting when I first got my BFP. The bleeding still hasn't stopped entirely though, just really dark red blood when I wipe. I may go in today just cause I can't take waiting until monday lol

I would definitely take a trip in today Just to make sure all is ok.

Every brand of PG test is going to have a different hook effect. The fact that it is stronger when diluted suggests that you are seeing the hook effect but it can't really be quantified into a number or above a number. FRER is going to have a lower hook because it is so sensitive. I hope you get some much needed answers on Monday. Doesn't really sound like you are having a MC though (which is good)??

I hope you get some answers and I still think you have a chance of things being ok. Are you still having symptoms?
