Miscarriage or period confused

Pregnancy test on 13th 1-2 weeks pregnant Pregnancy test on 26th 1-2 weeks pregnant In between I've bled for over a week. Clots have come out. Stopped bleeding all of a sudden got a random bleed again and backache. Bleeding is brown and random bits bright red. Little confusing. What's going on?

Recurrent Miscarriage

Hello all, my partner and I have had all the tests under the sun and they’ve all come back as normal… however clearly there is something wrong as we’ve had 4 miscarriages in a row. The only thing that has come up in slightly elevated NK Cells in my uterus. Has anyone else had this?
