how long did u wait to take the morning after pill? it often causes bleeding, but should only be taken no more than 72 hours after having ***…if your unsure take a pregnancy test, but I’m sure your fine.

As for the pregnancy you can go to the doctor for a blood test,they can detect pregnancy 5 days earlier than a regular test.
Yes miscarriage can happen in the first earrly weeks or months.
Any bleeding from the ****** during pregnancy suggests the possibility of miscarriage. Call your doctor about any abnormal vaginal bleeding, even if you do not think you are pregnant. Bleeding or spotting may be the first sign that you are pregnant and that the pregnancy is at risk. Staining or bleeding does not necessarily mean that you will miscarry, however. About 20 to 25 percent of pregnant women have some spotting or bleeding early in pregnancy, and about half of these pregnancies continue successfully.
Bleeding that signals possible miscarriage is usually light. It can be brown or bright red and may occur repeatedly over many days. If the bleeding persists or increases, the chances of losing the baby are higher. Mild pain, such as cramping or low backache, usually develops at some point after the bleeding has started. Some women experience severe abdominal pain and dizziness.
If you have been bleeding and an ultrasound scan (sonogram) indicates that the fetus is alive, your doctor probably will ask you to rest in bed as much as possible. Avoid sexual activity. The doctor will monitor you to be sure that bleeding and cramping remain mild, that the cervical canal from the uterus stays closed in order to retain the baby in the uterus, that sonograms continue to show fetal heart movements, and that the fetus is growing. More than 90 percent of firsttrimester pregnancies continue when ultrasound scans indicate that the baby is alive.
Rarely, early in pregnancy, fluid is suddenly released from the ****** without bleeding or pain. If you experience this, call your doctor immediately. You will probably be instructed to stay in bed and watch for further leakage, bleeding, cramping, or fever. If, after a few days, you have none of these things, your doctor may tell you that it is safe to go back to daily activities. Avoid *********** and any other vaginal ***********. If you do develop bleeding, pain, or fever, however, miscarriage may be inevitable

This sounds like severe PMS with the leg cramps, headaches n everything……you are not pregnant. My mother and sister experience this sometimes with their menstrual cycle. Just take some aspirin and get some sleep.
