Miscarriages

you'll just go through a change in your menstrual cycle but then after a month it would be normal.

In the first trimester it's usually because there's something wrong with the embryo/fetus and it wouldn't survive.

I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with the Mirena. I too had the Mirena and experienced the same issues as yourself over an 8 month period. It turned out that I had several oversized Fibroids and the Mirena did not help with the stemming of heavy bleeding. I had my Mirena removed and subsequently the Fibroids - best thing I ever did. I know they say it can work instantly or may take a couple of months, but it depends on how long you want to continue with things they way they are. Good luck with which ever dicision you make.

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant and have a miscarriage before learning you were pregnant. When you sat on the toilet to urinate, your body was in a position to easily pass the fetus, which may be why you passed it when you did. But if that is what happened to you, you need to see your doctor to find out why you didn't start your period until the next day, and to make sure the uterus shed the lining (afterbirth) as it should. When a miscarriage occurs, bleeding begins either just before passing the fetus, or immediately after.

Nothing. You wait for the fetus to pass (like a period).

umm...

Yes. Essential oils and herbs have been used for centuries to abort or help pregnancies as well as many other reasons.

Certain essential oils are very absorbent when put on the skin. They can be very toxic (NEVER TAKE INTERNALLY!!!!!) different ones cause different things. some cause the uterus to have contractions to expel the baby. others cause the uterus to strengthen.

If you are pregnant keep away from essential oils (grapefruit oil can be ok) and especially don't use them on your abdomen.

If you are wanting to do a herbal abortion read all the facts as they can be very unsafe if done wrong. If you are wanting a healthy baby then stay away as they can not only cause miscarriage but birth defects also.

after a miscarriage or an abortion u body undergoes a lot of changes, first of all u start bleedin for more than a week some people can bleed for almost 4 or six weeks. u lose weight n ur face becomes as pale as a cadaver. some people suffer from infections. anyway that could not be true for all women , if u are healthy n u take good care of ur body u could be lucky to have nothing from what I've mentioned b4.

You will without question know and wont need some uneducated people on some message board telling you.

If you get hit in the stomach then you can easily damage the baby, or even have a miscarriage.

I was 13 weeks pregnant in December last year, and I went for my 13 week ultrasound just to find out that the baby had no heartbeat and only measured 9 weeks. I was told that if I had cramping or bleeding to go to the hospital, and that passing it was inevitable. I freaked right out because I did not want to pass the baby on my own and be able to feel it and see it. They reassured me that I would not see anything nor would I feel it. And let me tell you that it was the worse thing I have gone through but I can tell you that you do not feel the baby, nor do you see anything. I passed several big clots, bleed a lot but it was not like I pictured in my head. Hope that helps!!

Nothing. Go to the doctor.

It depends on what age you are, and how healthy you are, but the chances are low. As the birthing stage is approaching the amniotic sack will grow thicker as the baby also grows with it. If you are unhealthy your blood might be too thick the be of much support but it doesnt mean you cannot give birth the a healthy baby. The chances of a miscarriage at 5 months are pretty slim.

I hope i have been of much use.

It took me 8 weeks to get my period after I naturally miscarried at 12 weeks, though the abdominal sac was only dated 6 weeks 2 days. So in all I miscarried in May and got my period in July --exactly 8 weeks 2 days. I'm having my period right now and its very very heavy. I hope you don't have the same expericne as me! mine came back just like it should of only 2 days late

You should never fast when pregnant. If you did it for one day no, I don't think so. If you did it longer maybe. I've never heard of anyone who would be so careless and only live on water when pregnant. You would hurt both yourself and the fetus and the fetus could get hurt.

To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1-2 days before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam like strip * wait for the results! It is quite a complex ordeal when trying to guesstimate your expected chances of pregnancy during a particular time. But I will try to explain as simply as possible. * Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse * Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation * For most(but not all) women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period.

You can, but most likely it won't be positive b/c your hormones are out of whack. get a bllod test or ultrasound.

miscarriage is the lost of a pregnancy in the early stage, it is more common in the first 12 weeks

Yes. that's 16 weeks. but, no worries, it's not like actually giving birth. the embryo is still underdeveloped at this stage in the pregnancy to be considered a baby. If you were farther along in your pregnancy it would be a lot more diffucult. At 16 weeks abortions are still allowed, in most states.

At 16 weeks it is VERY MUCH the same birth process. It is not an embryo, it is called a fetus which is a baby. All you have to do is look up photos of what a baby looks like at 16 weeks.

The color of menstrual flow has almost no medical significance.

It doesn't mean anything, spotting before menstruation is completely normal - when your period starts it takes time to get into full flow, until then bleeding is light and this is known as 'spotting'. It's just light bleeding, which gets heaiver as you menstruate.

Pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate, but being that it was negative and you got your period, I'd say you are definitely not pregnant.

To :-

1. try to save the life of the child.

2. To find out why you are having a miscarriage.

3. If the baby dies in hospital, you cannot be accused of hiding anything, or get charged with manslaughter or whatever (unless you have tried to procure an abortion.)

4. Both mother and child will receive better treatment.

5. It makes it official.

6. Don't forget the father - both go if you can.

Any problems like this should be addressed by a medical Professional as they would be in the best position to make an accurate diagnosis.
