i have IBS so it's always hard for me to distinguish menstrual cramping and intestinal cramping. I had a small cup of coffee and had to go to the bathroom. When I wiped there was bright reddish blood. I'm so scared of miscarriage because the pregnancy is so early - could it be from straining while pooping or just normal bleeding?
Re: Bright red spotting after BM
I would check again in an hour or so. If the paper is clear, you probably just tore a little. Never hurts to see a doctor, though!
