Miscarriages

You can lose a baby at any stage of pregnancy, but it isn't called a miscarriage after a certain point.

By far the most common time to miscarry is in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. After that, the chances drop off considerably.

A woman can experience a range of different symptoms during her period.

Some periods can be 'heavy flow,' which means a lot more blood and lining is coming out over the course of the week. This is all relative to her normal cycle.

Some periods can be the opposite, not a lot of mess and fuss. Instead of wearing heavy duty pads, and/or normal pads (and tampons), she might just wear a combination of normal and light pads and pantiliners.

Many women on birth control pills experience lighter periods, but more often experience spotting throughout the month.

When they are ovulating, which you can track by knowing the days prior to when you normally get your period if you are on a "normal" cycle. The egg will live for 12-24 hours after leaving the ovary before it and your uterine lining are shed through your period, and sperm can live for 48 hours or so inside the body. So that gives you an optimal period of around 3-4 days to get pregnant!

you feel sick you don't wont to eat at all if you wont a kid you have to eat right all the time not just when you won't too because if you do it is not good for the baby

One of the ways that hormonal birth control prevents pregnancy is by thickening the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to get to the egg. Birth control doesn't close the cervix, but it does make it less permeable.

Depending on what your doctor believes it may/may not be safe to jump into another pregnancy right after having a miscarriage. A miscarriage is a hard thing to come back from and you might not want to jump back into something that your body might not be ready for. I would suggest taking some time off for you and then when your health and spirits are back up, talk to your partner about what affect this will have on you guys if you decide to try again.

I think it is wonderful that you want to try again, I wish you all the luck in the world. But just do yourself a favor and take a couple weeks off and just focus on you and your health. It will make you stronger in the future when you try again.

Good luck.

You maywant to talk to your gynocologist about considering a "D and C". D and C is a procedure to scrape and collect the tissue (endometrium) from inside the uterus. This procedure may be indicated for the removal of any remaining fetal or placental tissue after a spontaneous abortion.

A little bit of coffee actually speeds up sperm. However, too much coffee, about the amount of an average of three cups a day, can cause DNA damage that will lead to birth defects. It won't kill the sperm it will mutate it, often rearranging the chromosomes that will lead to the embryo dying. It's best to keep coffee intake low. You don't have to elminate it, afterall coffee has its health benefits as well, including increased prostate health.

Don't freak out, especially if you are young or only just got your first period. Your menstrual system constantly changes due to the length of the months etc. as long as once you become regular it is around the same date every month you should be fine!

Some females have had multiple miscarriages and still are able to conceive. It just takes patience the only thing that was recommended is that you wait till you have another menstrual cylce before you try to conceive again. Also if you and your partner have tried multiple times and still are unable then, there is a test that your physician can give, to see which individual is producing more hormone and how to balance the hormone.

Yes, you can feel movement in your fourth month of pregnancy. It is around this time that you may start to experience a flutter in your stomach, much like the feeling of having butterflies in your tummy.

Dont know but maybe after having two abortions you should consider birth control of multiple natures

Yes it happens all the time.

* Possible, but not likely. A miscarriage is usually caused by either a chromosomal abnormality or a blunt-force trauma to the pelvic area. Stress can cause a baby to be unusually small or have other health problems though. * Stress is absolutely not a cause of miscarriage. That could stress a lot of women out unnecessarily!

Im so sorry to hear of your loss.

I had a m/c 3 weeks ago on 4/12/11

I was 7weeks, 3 days along, I started bleeding on 3/12/11, meant to be 10 weeks at this point.

I was allowed to go home but strangely the doctor had me sign a form to sign myself out of their care incase anything happened to me they would hold no responsibilty, only differency going home was the fetous cant be examined by the nurses if it came away naturally during the night (by examining i mean they confirm it was the fetous, they dont test tfor problems unless you have had 3 miscarriages)

Doctor said chance of haemmoridging was highly unlikely and theyd give me a tablet to take before i left hospital to hurry it along, went back to confirm all had gone with a transvaginal scan. (it had - only little clot left) told id bleed for 1 week. stopped after 4 days. I am now having lots of early pregnancy symptoms including hiccups, one breast larger than the other and has little spots around my aerolas plus all typical symptoms. im thinking its got to be one of two things, either tissue is still inside me or im pregnant again so make sure you get a scan after all the clotting stops afterwards. i am leaving it til end of first week in january and if preg tests keep showing negative i will go to hospital for scan.

I have wanted to be a mum for a few years now (having sex once a month and didnt have a clue when i was ovulating but was over the moon when i found out i was pregnant. i couldnt face ANYONE for the first week, second week i visited work/mum, went shopping and started to feel so much more positive. the way im looking at it is my body has never been used to pregnancy hormones etc so it rejected it because it didnt know how to deal with it but now if i was to fall pregnany again it would recognise these hormones so therefor wouldnt reject it, either that or ther was something wrong somewhere, most early miscarriages are caused by the cells not matching up, mayb down syndrome and Im not very religous but I truly beleive God would not give us what we couldnt physically/mentally handle, that baby will eventually come, same baby, just a different time.

My doctor said I could try as soon as I stop bleeding, no need to wait for a period. if your body isnt ready to get pregnant again then it wont.

She also said alot of doctors say this, even in my hospital that you need to wait for two reasons, dating of the baby but with scans these days dating the pregnancy is no problem! Also it is to make sure mum2b is emotionally ready or physically and emotionally. makes the patient easier to get along with - especially a hormoanl pregnant one! So after that advice i thought, im not going to wait to make their jobs easier, especially at a time where all women are much more fertile after a m/c!

I am sorry this is so long, I wanted to put in as much info as possible.

I hope you stay strong, everything happens for a reason.

any comments/questions would be welcomed!

baby dust to all ttc a 2012 baby!

The chances of having a miscarriage over 40 are higher (1 in 3) than they are at, say, 20 (1 in 10), but many women in their 40s go on to have healthy babies. this is a good site for information. http://www.drspock.com/topic/0,1504,543,00.html

i would love to know the answer to that 1 to because i had a scan at about 5 weeks and what you could see was the sack and a hollow circle at the side of the womb ive got to go back tomorrow to see if the baby has been developing

This is not going to be much comfort- I experienced a simiar episode and am now at 5.5 weeks with a repeat episode. My last pregnancy my levels were 3400 ish and only increased to 4700 ish someweeks later. I was told that levels that do not double at least every 72 hours are not promising. ometimes At 5 weeks and almost always by 6 weeks you should see a gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole with electrical activity about 80 to 125 beats. That's what I remember from my Drs apt. There are others with positive outcomes. at 6 weeks the levels can range from 200 to 150000. Good luck I m hoping it works out for you. The waiting is hard I know. God bless.

No..only a small percentage of women experience implantation bleeding.

I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant. Lately i don't feel like I'm pregnant! no symptoms at all. i think that i must c a doctor as soon as possible; cuz sometimes it happens to lose ur baby without knowin. i mean no bleeding, no pain nothing.

Yes

You can drink and live normally when pregnant unless the doctor tells you otherwise.
