Sad news. Long and possible TMI.

Last night I went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was a little bright red blood. Not much, none in the toilet or my underwear, only on the paper. I didn't worry since it is a common and normal thing in the first few weeks.
All day today I was spotting but it was brown so I wasn't worried since that is also normal and I figured it was left over from last night.
I was cleaning my desk at work and found a HPT I bought a couple months ago when we started TTC. I decided to take it to prove to myself the spotting was nothing. Test came back negative. I thought since it was a generic it may have been a bad test or I messed up taking it.
Got home from work, went to the bathroom, and there was red blood again and like last night only a little on the paper. I went out and bought a couple more digital tests. Took one maybe an hour ago and it was negative. Since then I have started bleeding like the second day of my period and very faint cramping. Looks like this LO wasn't meant to be.
As sad as it is and heartbroken as I am, I am okay with it. Nature is making sure I carry a viable baby and this one was not.

Sorry to hear this. I'm glad you are looking at it in a positive way though. Thinking about you.

This! We are here for you !
oh shelley, i am so sorry. I miscarried the same way a few years ago and the grief came in waves for a while but you are right and it is good to take comfort in the simple truth of nature taking care of you. l don't know if you've suffered a loss in the past but it helped me to plant a rose in honor of our early loss.
I'll be thinking of you.
Big hugs!
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family the best.
And props to you for having such a positive attitude about it!
I go back to see my OB on Tuesday for a follow-up. I was originally scheduled to go in then for my intake appointment. We'll see what she says and if we can get back to TTC right away or not... if we want to. I'm not sure I want to and I was feeling that way before I got the BFP last week so I know it's not a sudden change of heart because of this.
