Most statistics say that up to 12 weeks, the chance of having a miscarriage is up to 20%, or higher in people who have had miscarriages in the past or are at a high risk of having a miscarriage.

You had bleeding for 1 day a negative pregnancy test but a fetal sac seen on a transvaginal scan have you lost your baby?

It could just be to early in your pregnancy to detect it on a test . I had 3 negative pregnancy tests even a blood test at the DR and I was indeed pregnant....about five weeks. And 8 months later delivered a healthy baby girl. However I did have a miscarriage about two months before I concieved her. I was bleeding for about to weeks straight and passing big blood clots. I went to the Dr and there was a gestational sac, but no embryo in it. they did a blood test and checked my HCG(pregnancy hormone) levels once a week and they got lower and lower, indicating the pregnancy was terminating. However dont panic just because you are bleeding it can be a normal sign of pregnancy as long as its not accompianed by cramping. I bled a little when I was pregnant with my second child and I carried him to term and he is happy and healthy!

Can premature labor be hereditary?

There are no studies which show that premature labor is hereditary, but it is worth letting your obstetrician know if you have such a history. It is also worthwhile to be more vigilant about premature contractions during your pregnancy.

You are about 3 months now and if you take diet pills and exercise will that cause a miscarriage?

The exercise will have to be quite extreme for that and if you go too far you will feel sick since your body will protect the fetus first. Diet pills can harm the fetus but not necessarily make you miscarry. Either way, if you are just worried about your pregnancy you should know that no one should diet while pregnant. If you are looking for a home abortion you should know that damaging the fetus while experimenting is illegal.

What happens if you are pregnant and you don't poop for a while does that harm the baby?

No, having constipation is very common in pregnancy as the muscles of the gut slow down under the influence of the pregnancy hormones. Lots of fiber (fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains)m prune juice and if required a gentle laxative (tell the pharmacist you are pregnant) should do the trick.

You think you may have had a miscarriage could somebody help you?

I was late on my period so i went to a youth clinic where i had two pregnancy tests which both came back negative. they put me on the pill and my pill free week came when i usually have a period it started with light brown spotting, which became very heavy and bright red and i then began to get very bad stomach pains which i put down to period pains because i do have heavy very painful periods where i have fainted before. The pain got worse i was very hot i took some hybroprofen which seemed to carm it but then i passes a very strange looking clot but because i was so confused and i didnt know what to do i flushed it away it was quite big abit smaller than my little finger but i cant remember the colour the pain and unusual bleeding only lasted about 20 minutes. since then the bleeding has carmed down but is still quite heavy and brightly colourd. I don't really know what to do next?

After a termination and a miscarriage at 43 how easy will it be to get pregnant?

It's different for every woman. The good thing is that an abortion does not have a lingering effect and miscarriages are quite common and didn't have to have anything to do with your age. If I were you I would go to my OB/GYN and take a test to see how fertile you are. That's a good place to start I think. The OB/GYN can tell you what the chances are specifically for you.

I have been having somewhat painful cramping for about 2 weeks and started bleeding during intercourse but didnt start my period till a week later could this be a miscarriage or something else?

I would say that its probably something else.

With a miscarriage you'll start to feel ill, or have period like symptoms with some spotting (meaning pink-ish, red, or brown vaginal discharge). This will continue for a day or two before the real bleeding starts (usually heavy like a period, sometimes worse, and usually accompanied by heavy cramping). The process of miscarrying (meaning actually bleeding and possibly passing tissue and/or clots) usually takes about 2 weeks. If you started your period a week later, its highly unlikely that you had a miscarriage. Losing a pregnancy will reset your menstrual cycle, meaning that you wouldn't have a period for 4-6 weeks after miscarrying.

Painful intercourse accompanied by bleeding could, however, mean that you have a vaginal infection or an allergy to your lube or condoms. If you're still experiencing painful intercourse or bleeding, please seek medical attention.

Why are you having aweful lower back pains the period after a miscarriage?

If I am reading your question correctly, you have completed your miscarriage and having your first period post-miscarriage?

If this is what you're saying, then the lower back pain you're experiencing could be explained by a few things. If you've recently gone back on birth-control the hormone shift can cause you to have a more intense period than normal, but this should go away after about 3 cycles. If you're not on birth-control the back pain could be associated with your hormone levels which, depending on how long ago the miscarriage was, may not have returned to normal levels just yet. Its possible that the back pain is entirely unrelated to your period or simply that being pregnant (whether carried to term or not) can cause permanent changes in your body. Most women report that their periods are easier after being pregnant but some do experience a marked increase in the discomfort associated with their menstrual cycle. But as always, seek medical help if you feel this is a serious issue, and perhaps your doctor could shed more light on the subject.

Good luck and I am sorry for your loss. I too have had a miscarriage and I know the pain of losing a child (even one you didn't know you were pregnant with in the first place).

Are you still pregnant if you were told you had a miscarriage but you are still showing?

It depends how long ago your miscarriage was. As you don't start showing until 14-15 weeks it is possible you had a miscarriage, one of twins and you are still pregnant with the other. Take a pregnancy test if it was more than 4 weeks ago.

What would cause bleeding and a rise in hcg levels a week after a miscarriage?

You do need to see a doctor about this to see if you may still be pregnant. Babies can survive quite a lot of bleeding and there are many documented cases of them or a twin escaping even a D&C.

The other possibility is that you had a hydatidiform mole which is a condition where nothing develops properly, but makes cancerous-type growths which can spread if left untreated. This is uncommon, but either way, you should see a doctor.

If you are 9 weeks pregnant lost all pregnancy symptoms having some brown spotting mixed in with yellowish discharge and took a pregnancy test again and the line was barely there What does this mean?

Most likely and unfortunately it may mean a missed miscarriage. The embryo fails to develop fully and, instead of being passed out of the womb in a miscarriage situation, it is retained inside. Usually the symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea and breast tenderness will disappear abruptly as the womb becomes progressively smaller. Often there is no bleeding, but occasionally the woman may notice a dark brown vaginal discharge. In this situation a series of ultrasound examinations need to be done to confirm that it is a missed miscarriage.
