How does a miscarriage start

If anyone wouldn't mind sharing, how did it feel when you began to miscarry.  What color was the bleeding and how long did each symptom last?  WIth my first miscarriage, it was 17 weeks and I had no bleeding or cramping.  I just went in for a routine exam and there was no heartbeat.  With this pregnancy, I am cramping a lot and spotting.

think you be ok,your levels seem to be going up well.and the fact you saw a healthy heartbeat yesterday,is good news.if you were to bleed they say brown blood is classed as old blood,i totally understand you feeling cautious,i have read that woman who bleed early with light spotting is normal,can be old blood,crampin could be your uterus stretching,i have read that when bleeding is involved in early pregnancy,a scan then showing a healthy heartbeat is a good sign,i think you be ok,understandably you would worry,we all worry in pregnancy.good luck to you,if the bleeding becomes heavy or your in alot of pain go straight to er.xxx

I haven't been to the hospital.  I have a great doc who has seen me every two -three days for the last week.  I am 6 weeks 1 day pregnant. My hcg have gone from 3000 Friday9/28 to 30000 yesterday10/5.  Yesterday, I saw my baby with a healthy heartbeat.  My docs belief with good levels but all the bleeding and cramping  is cautious optimism
