Can an ultrasound at 7 weeks pregnant cause you to cramp and bleed?

It could be a miscarriage, although bleeding shouldn't be of concern if the fetus is properly developing. I suggest you go see your ob-gyn for another ultrasound in order to find out if the bleeding is serious. Ultrasounds don't cause blood or cramps. Take care, T. Hawk

How long does the fetus stay in the female when she has a miscarriage?

It depends very much on how long it takes the womans body to expell the pregnancy. It can happen straight away or can take a few days depending on how heavy the bleeding is. I was 10 weeks 5 days pregant and had a ultrasound, it showed the baby had died of turner syndrome at 8 weeks...My body had not expelled the fetus, nor showed any signs of doing so..I ended up have to D & C's...so my body held that baby for 2 weeks I was almost 12 weeks pregnant and then started showing signs of miscarriage, an ultrasound showed that the fetus stopped developing at 5 weeks. That means it took 7 weeks for my body to expell it.

Red blood passes through the smallest what in single file?

Clear, slimy discharge is likely cervical fluid, which means you are in your fertile period. For most women this occurs 14 days after the start of their period.

Take a pregnancy test two weeks following ovulation to determine pregnancy.

If your hcg level drops within a couple of days does that definitely mean you miscarried?

Yes, Your HCG level should never drop ---it should double and get higher - if it drops - that's a sign something is wrong and most lyikey end up in a misscarraige ----the reason i know this---its cause it has happen to me and that's what my doc told me.

What happens if you have a chest xray when you are about four weeks pregnant?

I assume you had your x-ray just before you missed your period. You should have been asked when your last period was and given an apron to wear if there was any possibility you were pregnant. If this did not happen you need to see a doctor. The baby may be fine, but at this early stage it is developing very rapidly so it is impossibe to say.

How long after a miscarriage should a d and c be preformed?

I had to wait 2 weeks after the baby had no heartbeat to have mine done. It all depends if your hcg levels return to normal or not either. They usually don't want to perform those if they don't have too because sometimes it can be harmful to your uterus. So unless you are still bleeding and stuff I don't know.

Could brown spotting be a sign of a missed miscarriage?

You could be having a miscarriage or this could be a form of uterine bleeding from left over period blood. See your doctor tomorrow about this. Sorry to be harsh but you may just be starting your period. No. Not necessarily. You have to be pregnant first to have a miscarriage (except for a failure to implant, and then it is just like a normal period). Did you check to see if you were pregnant first? Check your HCG levels. If they continue to be high, or have increased since your last check, then I don't think it was a miscarriage. Minor spotting is normal as the blood vessels "grow" to accommodate the dividing cell mass. If the bleeding increases in intensity, and is accompanied by cramping, then get to your doctor right away ... as this is a key sign of a miscarriage. i am 7weeks pregnant my first, i started spotting when i was 6weeks pregnant... i woke up in the morning and found brown in my PJ's it was just like a normal period but brown... i was so sceard... i phoned my midwife up and left a message and i had no reply so i phoned again and she told me that i have to go strait to the hospital... so i went to the hospital they said every think is normal and feels okay but if the spotting goes any worse and starts to go red then i have to be rushed into hospital... i had the scan to days after the hospital scear and they said the baby is fine... but i don't no what to do at the moment as i am still spotting...

Is the baby alive if you are eight weeks pregnant and having light bleeding?

It is impossible to say, but bleeding does not always mean that a miscarriage is inevitable. Many women bleed and it eventually settles, while in other cases it does not but increases and becomes accompanied by cramps.

If you had signs of being pregnant and a week late of your period then out of the blue youhave a reallly heavy flow of blood is that a miscarriage?

What you're talking about could be a symptom of fibroids. You might find that Vitex helps if you have similar problems often, but you have to take it for 3 or 4 months before you'll know if it helps. It could be an early miscarriage, you have to check the sensitivity of the pregnancy test you took and see if it would have detected a really early pregnancy. You didn't give your age, if you are young irregular periods are not abnormal. If you are sexually active either stop or get birth control. The life you ruin may be your own. The blood clot could be lining and is probably not a miscarriage. The fetus at weeks is not large at all.

What will happen to unborn baby if mother took cortal at first trimester?

Nothing. Cortal is aspirin and is used for headaches and fever.Cortal contains acetylsalicylic acid 500 mg, caffeine 30 mg (aspirin and caffeine). Overdose of Cortal can cause delayed labor, liver and heart damage for your baby, and liver damage to you. It does not cause miscarriages or end pregnancy.

How would a doctor get a baby out of the womb after a miscarriage?

It depends on how far along you are. Most miscarriages occur in the first trimester and then it's either by inducing by pill which can happen at home or by surgery where the doctor will scrape the uterus and make sure nothing is left to cause infection. If it's later in the pregnancy they will also induce using medicine but then it will be like labor and take place at the hospital.

What can you drink to get a miscarriage?

No there is not. If you wish to not the baby you can go to a doctor, and depending on how far along you are, you will be given options. And remember just because you may not be ready that doesn't make you a bad person. When you go to the doctor, there you can also ask for counseling to help with your decision.

Can your period cause you to have a miscarriage?

Yes, actually many people conceive and end up miscarrying at the time their period was due, and they never even realized they were pregnant.

Is it better to take a pregnancy test in the morning if you don't think you are very far along?

You should always take a pregnancy test in the morning as at that time the urine is more concentrated and therefore there is more hormone in it and it is more likely to show as pregnant. Later in the day the urine is weaker, therefore the hormone is weaker and may not be strong enough to show up. So the answer to your question is YES. Early in pregnancy an early morning test may show pregnant where a later one may not.

Baby's heartbeat 177 boy or girl?

The normal fetal heart rate is 110-160. A constantly high baby heart rate is typically associated with an elevated temperature in with the Mom. That being said a baby's heart rate can and should go about this range periodically if it is healthy. If you have a temperature you should consult your physician immediately to rule out harm to the baby.

What is the scientific reason a woman has a miscarriage?

I don't really believe there are exact reasons. I'm 17 and I lost my baby at 4 weeks. I know I wasn't far along, but I have been very emotional over it. I ask myself everyday, why? But there isn't a good enough reason out there. Everyone will repeat "because it wasn't supposed to happen" or "oh it could've of been retarded or something". How rude right? Well, my theory is, I was on birth control and I kept switching because it made me have really weird periods...I also have a sleeping disorder, which I have to take muscle relaxers for. I think mine was caused by all those pills that were taken, when I didn't know I was pregnant. I started off blaming myself, that's the worst thing to do. Everything DOES happen for a reason. I wish I could have that baby everyday of my life. We picked the name Gracie for a girl the night before it happened, and now its tattoed on my leg, because no matter what, it is a part of you. And it makes you only stronger.

I hope I could help.

What is considered heavy bleeding during pregnancy?

2.2L of blood is critical in any medical emergency.

Anywhere near 1L is serious. There are many factors and reasons for bleeding. If the blood is mixed with other fluids such as when the "water" breaks, it may look like more. Generally serious heavy bleeding is thick and dark red.

Period amounts generally not so serious but need to be assessed for the reason. This could be simply the separation of the placenta from the uterine wall just before birth. This could be in the form of spotting or heavier bleeding.

Any amount of bleeding should be assessed by trained staff.

Does testosterone levels decrease as human males age?

It depends because your body's testosterone levels change with time, puberty, environment, and can be chemically changed. If it is abnormally low the child should definitely seek medical advice (due to the fact he may have a high pitched voice and feminine features with lack of it) Testosterone levels change with puberty, drugs like steroids can up testosterone severely, during puberty these levels may change from day-to-day due to rapid changes in a young man's growth. Most likely not because of the constant changing male body. Sometimes lack of testosterone can indicate hormonal disorders (which tend to be very rare).

Are you pregnant and having a miscarriage if you're on the pill and your period is not due for another week but you're spotting heavily and experiencing menstrual cramps?

Hi there. Its unlikely to be a miscarriage hun. Your most likely experiencing heavy break through bleeding or the dosage of pills aren't strong enough and this can also cause bleeding and sharp tummy pains. But to be certain about the pregnancy, buy a pregnancy test and do it. Do it while your bleeding and if its positive go to hospital for a scan.
