Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern.
suggest you to rule out the above causes by getting done physical examination , thyroid profile to rule out thyroid abnormalities,ultrasound to know the pregnancy status.
Nothing to worry.Once the cause is treated it will subside. Early pregnancy bleeding is mostly due to deficiency of hormone progesteron.. which supports maintenance /development of fetus . About 20-25% of women have vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy. Half of them continue their pregnancy and deliver normally. Since the pain has reduced now in all probability you will continue with the pregnancy. Consult obstetrician and take progesterone to support pregnancy. Don't think about miscarriage.
If the pain / bleeding increases you need to go to the ER.
If you were to havea D&C, if it is done gently it will not complicate your incompetent cervix. It does not lessen your chances of successfully trying again.
I hope this helps.
. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
I find this answer helpful
