Miscarriages

* 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.

The TORCH test measures the levels of an infant's antibodies against five groups of chronic infections: t oxoplasmosis, o ther infections, r ubella, c ytomegalovirus (CMV), and h erpes simplex virus (HSV).

You should call your doctor. Good luck and God Bless:)

If an accidental pregnancy occurs, the Nuva Ring should not cause a miscarriage.

By going to a clinic and get a medical abortion which is allowed up to the 9th week. After that it's a surgical abortion. If you don't know where to go or want to find out all your options you can always contact Planned Parenthood in your area and they can help you. See the article in the related link below where also other good links are.

For that to happen to a healthy pregnancy it had to be a really bad fall and the miscarriage would not likely be the only injury. The fetus is very well protected in the uterus.

It seems to me that you are asking on how to have an abortion. A miscarriage is not something you induce unless you say induced miscarriage aka abortion. If you make it happen it's an abortion. You have to see a doctor for doing that and locally would be your nearest clinic like Planned Parenthood for instance.

miscarriage does not prevent pregnancy---although usually it takes a cycle to pass to restart your clockl good luck joymaker rn

not always, brown blood is old blood. It could be considered implantation bleeding. But if you are pregnant you should call your doctor. My light brown spotting turned into a miscarriage. BUT that is not always the case. I would call your doctors office ASAP if you are pregnant. Have you taken a test? If you do and it is negative, it could just be left over blood from your last period that never was released and is coming out now.

Yes. There are prescription medications such which are used (on purpose) to cause or assist in causing a spontaneous abortion. There are also medications that may accidentally cause it. However, a single dose of most medications is unlikely to cause a problem.

One exception (among a short list) is a drug such as Cytotec (misoprostol). Cytotec is only indicated (officially approved) to help protect the stomach lining of people taking NSAIDs (motrin, naprosyn, Aleve, etc.). In truth, it is not a commonly used prescription drug for its intended purpose. However, taken by a pregnant woman, it may very likely cause uterine contractions that might lead to an accidental miscarriage. It does so by affecting the levels of certain prostaglandins in the body (a substance which, among other things, helps protect the stomach lining and also helps start the process of labor in a pregnant woman).

Doctors sometimes use this drug intravaginally and/or orally in a hospital setting to induce labor, even though the drug is not indicated/approved for this purpose in the USA (and in fact, the drug manufacturer specifically has a warning against its use in such a fashion, and has sent this warning in writing to physicians). Many doctors in the "real world" consider it safe and effective (and cheaper than some other drugs) in most pregnant women, but a consent form is typically required before the doctor can attempt to chemically induce labor with this or any other drug, as there are always risks in artificially starting the labor process. If you have had previous C-sections, this is also a consideration in which drugs can be safely used. Never take any prescription or OTC medication if you are pregnant, unless you first check with your OB/GYN, pharmacist, or a reliable medical reference.

Anything is possible, but the percentage is low. Some doctors make mistakes and don't correctly check what they've done during surgery. I suggest you see your gynaecologist to put your mind at rest. If you are 35 plus you could well be going into peri-menopause and anywhere from 40 plus you could have a few periods (some clotting, sometimes missed periods, heavy bleeding or not bleeding as usual during your period.) Some women may need a D & C or Cone Biopsy if they bleed for long periods of time with no rest in between. It's best to see your doctor and get a proper diagnosis.

It's a good idea to see a doctor to have hormone levels checked but many women have miscarriages without needing any medical care. The earlier the miscarriage, the less chance there is a need of medical assistance.

If you want an abortion you have to go see the doctor. A medical abortion is available up to the 9th week and after that a surgical one. The pills you get from the doctor after he has examined you and determined if you are fit for a medical abortion or if you need a surgical one.

It may depend on the reason for the miscarriage and how far into the pregnancy she was. There is no reason not to start trying again right away, after a very early miscarriage - with your doctor's OK.

You should go to the ER or your doctor ASAP. Cramping in early pregnancy is very normal because everything is stretching out, but it shouldn't be bad cramps and with the severe lower back pain that could mean you are having a miscarriage. Please go to the ER or your doctor ASAP

Once you have passed all of the "contents of pregnancy" the bleeding may subside and the cramps lessen. Everyone is different. Your body is going through a lot during a miscarriage and the cramping is the uterus contracting to empty, so as time goes on the cramps should lighten. Hello - It is possible yes. I am very sorry about your miscarriage. See your Doctor to make certain the Foetus has been expelled.
