What does a miscarriage look like at 6/7 weeks?

New to the group and I was just scrolling and noticed women talking about passing tissue and sacs. What should I be seeing at around 6/7 weeks? I had super bad cramping, bright red blood and lots of it. Then thick stringy chunks with what looked like a small worm when I wiped. I had no idea we can see tissue and sa...

How long does HCG stay?

I had a miscarriage in February (D&C) 11/12 weeks ago. Today I randomly did a test as we aren’t trying as it was very traumatic. I see a faint line. Could this be left over HCG? Or am I pregnant again!? I did one yesterday and one today and it’s not getting any darker so convinced myself it’s a chemical already 😭…

Periods after miscarriage

Did anyone else’s periods start going off track after a miscarriage? I miscarried at the end of Feb, had my first period in April and I am now 4 days late but showing negative on tests. My periods are usually bang on the date so I’m just wondering if it’s the miscarriage that’s messing up my cycles?
