Okay, so to start out, my periods just returned after breastfeeding for a few years. I was using opk's and monitoring cm. My second cycle, I was 2 weeks late and it wasn't a normal period at all. It was dark brown and had lots of very fleshy bits. Never turned red or had blood clots other than dark blobs that fell in the toilet. I had lots of pregnancy symptoms, but I always test too early and was holding out on testing since I was cramping a bit.
Almost a week after it stopped I was still nauseous, so I tested and had an obvious faint bro. I told my husband I thought I was pregnant and we got another test 2 days later, which was clearly negative. I thought the first test was just a fluke, so I brushed it off.
This month I just started my period and it was completely normal, but I just started getting a weird feeling about my last "period". Last month I did a lot of googling to try and figure out why it was wonky. The word miscarriage kept popping up in my search, but I guess I just never let myself believe that's what it was. I was holding out hope that it would've been implantation bleeding.
Now I'm so sick to my stomach and can't stop worrying about it. I've never experienced anything like that, but now I'm worried about it happening again. Does this sound like I miscarried?

Re: Strange period, faint bfp turnednegative, possible miscarriage.
If you actually thought you were having a miscarriage, then you should have called your doctor. You can't just have a wonky 'period' and then attempt to count yourself as a loss mom. Chances are you had an evap line on your 'obvious faint bro' and just had a wonky period as it was only your second cycle after AFs returning, and I've heard those can be awful until they regulate out. Additionally, you have a living child at home and are worrying about something that may or may not have happened, that you aren't even sure was a PG. MC happens. If it happens to you in the future, then it happens to you. There's not going to be anything you can do to stop it. The best you can do is prepare your body, physically and emotionally, for a healthy PG and let fate decide. There is no point in worrying about it to the point that you are physically sick, especially since it sounds like you're in the special group of having a living child with no prior MCs, and thus probably the lowest possible chances / normal chances of having one.
AF can be weird. TTC can be difficult. MC happens. You have to calm down if you are going to attempt to continue to have another living child. Trust me. I've had 5 PGs, and they all ended in MC. I have no living children at home. You are lucky. It's too late to worry about what happened last cycle, which was more likely than not your body attempting to recover and return to having regular cycles. And you had a negative test after your possible positive one, plus a 'normal' cycle, so even if it were a MC it appears your body has moved on and there is no residual HCG in your system, so just keep moving forward.
