If you were to miscarry one twin the other fetus can still survive, but the chances for that are SLIM!!
Can a pregnancy test show an accurate result after 19 days?
19 days after intercourse may result in a accurate pregnancy test.
How do you get rid of an unborn baby or force a miscarriage?
If you find yourself in a situation where you have an unwanted pregnancy, you only have 3 options:
1. If you are in the first 72 hours you can take Emergency Contraception. That is actually before you are actually pregnant.
2. Abortion- at a proper medical abortion clinic.
3. Adoption- give the baby up for adoption.

- Talk to your doctor. If a young woman may have no recourse but to get an abortion she should seek counseling first to be sure that's what she wants and if she has decided then go to an abortion clinic. Back alley abortionists are butchers and they could end up killing you (you could get infection or bleed to death.)
- The question is slanted/biased and assumes something false. There is no such thing as an "unborn baby", so it's not possible to kill. Anything done to end a pregnancy prior to birth is an abortion, including miscarriages. If the asker meant without having surgery, that's possible with abortion drugs within the first 9 weeks (2 months). After that, you need to see your doctor or an abortion clinic. Within the first 3-5 days, the "morning after" and other emergency contraception pills are also an option.
- there are a lot of alternatives, such as giving it up for adoption, or taking care of it, or abortion- I would recommend them over a self induced miscarriage(abortion). You could really hurt yourself. Seek some counseling on options of birth before making any decisions.
- If you are unsure how to go about having an abortion you can contact Planned Parenthood and advisers will walk you through the process so you have all options available.
- Just a note: Punching yourself in the stomach, falling down the stairs, starving yourself and drinking vinegar/herbal tea are not methods of abortion and can cause serious, permanent damage to the mother, as well as the fetus.
You have to go to a doctor and have an abortion. If you go to the clinic the first 9 weeks you can have a medical abortion with pills you take at home that they give you after they examine you. Then you come back so they can see that everything is gone 2 weeks later. If it's past 9 weeks it will have to be a surgical abortion.
Contact Planned Parenthood for more of your options and where to turn and also NAF can answer all your questions:

Planned Parenthood: 1-800-230-PLAN or at www.plannedparenthood.org
The only safe way to lose a baby is to undergo a termination procedure at a legal, professional clinic. It is best to go through counseling and prayer before going through with the procedure.

Do all women have to pee a lot during pregnancy?
Yes, during pregnancy the uterus pushes against the bladder. thus the bladder can't hold as much urine and has to be relieve a lot more often.
Can the birth control pill cause nipple discharge?
Hello, It has been noted that some birth control can cause nipple discharge in a few women due to the hormones contained in the birth control. However nipple discharge does require medical evaluation and you need to see your doctor as soon as possible. Nipple discharge occurs for a variety of reasons. During pregnancy it is known as colostrum and will not occur before the 5th month of pregnancy. Anything prior to this is not pregnancy related and should be mentioned to your doctor. Clear or colorless discharge can be caused by nipple or breast stimulation of a milk duct infection. Milk or white colored discharge is usually caused by too much progesterone, breast stimulation, milk duct infection or pregnancy. Rusty of blood colored discharge may be caused by a severe infection in the milk duct tissue or papilloma. Please see your doctor about this as what I have said is advice only and should never be used in place of a medical experts.
How do you cause a miscarrige?
By nature or accident. If you mean having a miscarriage on purpose that would be a induced miscarriage aka abortion. You have to see a doctor for that.
What can you do to get a miscarriage?
first of all u messed up! u obviously dont want to be pregnant so u should have been a responsible young woman and you should have been on the pill. im sure somewhere out there, there is a planned parenthood! confidential & practically free.
Are you pregnant if your nipples are sensitive cramping and light bleeding such as spotting?
Possible. If you're not just starting your period , then it could be an infection or possibly miscarriage.
What occurs during the first week of pregnancy?
You are not actually pregnant the first 2 weeks and the symptoms starts later. The first week is when conception occur.
Can your body absorb your pregnancy?
Can your body absorb your pregnancy? If yes what is it called and how does this happen?
Yes, in some circumstances. If there is a very early pregnancy in the tube, and it gets extruded into the abdominal cavity, it will eventually get absorbed, along with any blood.
Where does the baby go?
In most cases, babies are not "absorbed" In the case of an early pregnancy (early first trimester), all that may be noticed is a bit of extra bleeding, like a heavier period. In later pregnancies, there will be cramping and passage of tissue.
In many pregnancies, the fetus dies while still at a very early stage, or never even develops (aka blighted ovum). It is not reabsorbed, but no actual visible tissue will be passed, only blood and clots.

I am still trying to get closure of my miscarriage with triplets due to the fact of all this information I received when I miscarried. While I was at the hospital with what they termed as a "missed miscarriage" I was shown, by a OB who was specialist in multiple births, My body had to have absorbed 1 of the babies completely, there was one visible with no heartbeat and as he zoomed into the ultrasound he showed me what he believed was one of the babies that was being absorbed but was not fully absorbed as of yet. I was in the beginning of my 5th month but the baby left was measured at 8 or 9 week. I had only spotted lightly for about 2 hours with no cramping. I passed a very long thick snot like passage the next day and did have blood and clots about the 8th day. It was a big mess with my Dr and I ended up seeing the specialist at the hospital I kept going to the emergency at. dont know why they termed it missed miscarriage when the 1st ultrasound showed the last baby with no heartbeart, something about my cervix not being opened and against law for MD to break ...I dont know......6 months later just as confused as the 1st day of MMC. I guess it really varies per individual and their bodies. I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you find out you a PG with a multiple birth to go to a MULTIPLE BIRTH SPECIALISTS IMMEDIATELY... I tried to use my OB/GYN that delivered my first child and OBVIOUSLY alot changed with her over the 12 years and in the end I could see how her quality of care changed! I hope this helps but with me still looking for answers I hope I have not confused you more. Be blessed!
The above story is quite confusing, but "missed abortion" (abortion being the medical term for a pregnancy that ends before 20 weeks, whether induced or spontaneous) means that the fetus has died but not yet been expelled from the body. That term would be correct for the situation described--no heartbeat and closed cervix.
As to it being against the law for the MD to terminate that pregnancy--it may have been hospital policy rather than the law. If there is no heartbeat, then there are no legal impediments to termination. Some religious organizations which run hospitals have different rules which make it difficult to manage miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies in a rational and medically optimal manner.
Is it normal to have cramps after a miscarriage?
Cramps are contractions of the uterus. They can be a normal part of a spontanious or induced miscarriage. However, it is important to have follow up doctor care after a miscarriage to make sure all the tissue is expelled.
Why did I start to bleed again a week after my period ended?
don't worry its normal it happens to alot of women. its just a change in your cycle. it would last for about 3 days then stop. take notice, your next expected period wont be until 4 weeks after you stopped spotting.
Are miscarriages always really painful?
No. My wife had a miscarriage and she said it was just like having a very heavy period with more than normal cramps.
Will the pregnancy test still show positive if I'm going through a miscarriage?
Yes unfortunately the test will still show positive as you will still have some pregnancy hormone levels in your body.
Can 49 year old women still get pregnant naturally?
Yes, a 49 year old woman can conceive naturally if she is still menstruating. However, That does not make it safe. While the woman's eggs may be viable that doesn't mean they're healthy. By the time a woman turns 40 her chances of producing a child with Downs Syndrome increases exponentially. The risk of many other birth defects, pregnancy and health complications also rises. Pregnancy after the age of 40 also increases the health risks to the mother. So, even though a 49 year old woman CAN get pregnant, that does not mean they SHOULD. Adoption would be a much safer route for both the mother and child.
Not necessarily. The hormones that make a pregnancy test read positive stay in your body for a little while after a miscarriage.
Is it usual to have painful breasts after a miscarriage?
i dont know if its usual, but i do!!!! anyone else have any feedback on this situation?
Will drinking coffee effect a pregnancy test?
I highly doubt it...There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines or a chemical pregnancy.
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 totally depends on the person, and how far gone they are.
It does not always hurt. I had a misscarriage over a month ago, and i did not suffer any pain at all. Although my friend has a misscarriage last year and was in really bad pain.
Its the same with bleeding, I had a light period, but then again my friend just had a really heavy bleed for an hour or so.
It all depends on the person, and how far along you are.
Can i lay on my stomach if I am pregnant?
It's perfectly safe. Eventually you will be too big and the belly will be hard so you will automatically sleep on the side.
Are women more fertile at age 19 than 25?
I got my period when I was 12 and my periods were irregular until I was about the age of 18 or 19. I'm now 24. Just gave birth to my son. I got preggars on my first month of trying. I really don't think anyone can answer this person because everyone is different. A woman may be 19 years old with irregular periods or have cists or endometriosis, while a 25 year old may have no problems and gets preggars without trying. Or a 40 year old woman could fall prego without hardly trying and a 19 year old struggles because of the issue above.
It's very hard to get a false positive result on a pregnancy test. The bleeding might be implantation bleeding. You should consult your doctor, and maybe take another home test once the bleeding stops.
that's just a heavy period
Is it normal to bleed a lot while on your period?
Yes, it is very normal.
Although, if it's causing you a lot of pain, as well.
You should probably go see your doctor.
Good luck!
