When you lose the baby you do bleed, but sometimes if you miscarry it takes quite a while for your body to show any signs that the baby has died, and you won't bleed. It sounds to me, like you are just having normal period symptoms. I had cramping that lasted up until about 9 weeks...it would be off and on, and it would ache pretty bad sometimes. And my symptoms didn't really set in until about 6 weeks, when I started getting nauseous which got worse over the next few weeks. Everyone is different, you may be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have any morning sickness! I understand your worry, I was worried too with the cramps I was having...I finally got to have my first dr. visit and ultrasound at 8 weeks, and I was convinced there would be no baby or that my baby had died, but there it was little heart beating away on the screen as healthy as could be. If you are feeling any really painful cramps that make you double over, or very localized cramps to one side, you may need to go and make sure it's not an ectopic...but what it sounds like to me is exactly what I went through, just the normal crampiness of early pregnant. Congrats and good luck!
