Hi there. sorry about the pregnancy loss :( When I miscarried I only started bleeding two weeks after the baby died. It passed easily (though painfully) at home. As early as you are it should probably be more like a heavy period. I would wait for another week or so before getting worried.

How long have you been TTC?

That is very helpful, @shelob--thank you! I'm sorry for your loss as well.

All day I've been waiting for AF to come but it just doesn't feel like it's going to happen soon. So maybe it will be another week or so with me, too. I may call PP in a couple days and explain my situation and see if they recommend I come in.

We actually weren't really going to start trying until next month, so this was a bit of a surprise! Had one unprotected BD and then decided to wait one more cycle to really give it a try as I was feeling a little stressed out. So I am grateful for this experience because now I know without a doubt that I do feel ready to try, because of how happy I was those first couple days. Now I guess it's just a matter of getting through to the next cycle, and hoping we'll be lucky enough to conceive so easily again. Never thought I'd be this anxious to start a period!

Just an update... (thought maybe someone in a similar situation might want to know)

AF came today and its a heavier than normal period, but nothing too scary. I feel somewhat relieved and am looking forward to this next cycle. I'm sure I'll need everyone's help again deciphering those dip strips come ovulation time. :) Thanks.
