How do you know when you have a miscarriage?

Answer 1

You don't. It is thought that a quarter of pregnancies miscarry, which means that many women miscarry before they even know they are pregnant probably because the fertilised egg has something wrong with it. Practically every woman I know has had a miscarriage and if you ask around it is actually very common. The majoruty then go on to have a healthy baby.

Answer 2

original poster here, im 18 and I'm on the nuva ring. i put it in a week before my period, which pushed my January period 3 weeks forward, so i wasn't supposed to get it until Feb 5, or a few days later.

before removing the nuva ring, i was getting menstrual like cramps, even when i wasn't supposed to.

yesterday, i had the worst cramps i have ever experienced, i couldn't move because it hurt so much. i eventually went up stairs to go to the washroom, and i found an about 2 inch long and half an inch thick substance, it was white-ish grey like tissue and looked gooey, but it was firm, and wasn't able to be torn.

after that had passed, my cramps

this morning i woke up, and i found another white-ish grey tissue about the size of a loonie, and i might have not been looking right, but it looked like there was a vein or something.

i wasn't aware if i was pregnant or not prior, and i just started my Birth Control about a month ago.

help please??

Sometimes you have light blood in your discharge like me. For about 2 to 3 weeks I had streaks of red blood in my discharge some abdominal cramping. I was told it wasn't uncommon but at my 8 week follow up the heart stop beating. Once my body registered that the fetus was dead I started bleeding like a start of a period. Along with the blood there was cramping.
