Possibly: This is very common - many aree not yet even sure they were pregnant. The bleeding should be a bit heavier as well as the cramps, but it might be only a bit. If you're in pain or upset - see a dr. Otherwise wait a bit and test again. Here's info: http://www.Livestrong.Com/article/76543-signs-miscarriage-weeks-pregnant/ best wishes.
