ask: miscarriage within two weeks of conception
I didn't know i was pregnant or had a miscarriage until heard a friend of mine explaining her sythoms of miscarriage and realised that they were the same as mine.
I had fever and was so week for days and my stomach hurt so much that i kept on going into the loo after every 10 minutes. When i finally went to sleep, i woke up feeling that i wet my bed and rushed into the loo. When i sat down i felt a short sharp pain shoot through me but thought that i was having my period when i saw blood. On closer look, i noticed a brownish blood (size of a marble) with something that looked like roots attached to it. I never thought much of it but hearing a similar experince from my friend has made mi so miserable. I have never gone to the doctor and nor have i told my boyfriend. I am so scared of another miscarriage...
Does this affect my future comception????
Let mi know..

Hi Anonymous,
I'm sorry about your loss. Did you go to the doctor after this happened?
To be honest, missed miscarriages are more common than statistics give them credit for. Because most of the time they can be confused for a regular period or you may notice an irregular "clot" during the month-- they often go unreported. Chromosomal abnormalities are the most common type of cause for a miscarriage.
If this was in fact a miscarriage, a single occurrence will not affect your possibilities of conception in the future. It is when miscarriages occur often, also known as habitual or recurrent miscarriages, that your doctor will explore further into what may be causing the losses.
I share my miscarriage in 2007 with anyone who can relate. It was a chromosomal miscarriage at 10 weeks but I did not lose any tissue and therefore required a D&C procedure. In 2009 my son was born and in 2010 I gave birth to my daughter. Like me, millions of women past and present have had miscarriages and then have given birth to healthy, beautiful children. So don't get discouraged-- the odds are on your side!

Thanks Rosa,
I have never gone to the doctor and nor have I told my boyfriend about it coz it was after 2 weeks that I realised that i actually had a miscarriage. It has been three years now and I still have not told him about and I feel so guilty about not telling him. Every single day I try to find the courage to tell him but I never seem to bring myself to do so. My boyfriend, did suspect and asked me when I started to get sick but I told him no coz at that stage I didn't have any discahrge as yet.
Should I tell him?
I just don't know how to.....
October 18, 2011 - 9:36pmHi Anon,
It's honestly up to you whether you decide to tell him or not. If it happened three years ago, do you think bringing it up now would put a strain in your relationship because you kept this from him for three years? What made you decide not to tell him when it happened? I just want you to know that although it is possible that you did have a miscarriage, since you were never seen by a doctor it was also never confirmed. So, if you do decide to tell him you can tell him that you suspect that you may have had a miscarriage given your symptoms. But like I said, this is a decision left to you.
Best,
Rosa

How did you know know when to go to doctor?
October 18, 2011 - 6:16amI as well, just had a miscarriage. I didn't think it could happen at 23 years old. Anyway, I bled for a month straight after going to get a pap smear done by my gyno, I saw the pink and white mucus and blood clots with the grey tissue, my gyno said I looked fine but should I still see if I need a D&C?
Laelwa,
I'm sorry for your loss, unfortunately it can happen to anyone.
I had a positive pregnancy test so I scheduled an appointment with my OB/GYN.
If your doctor didn't suggest a D&C it's likely because you expelled all tissue during your one month bleeding. I didn't bleed at all and didn't expel anything, so the D&C was done to avoid the risk of hemorrhaging. That's why if you ever have what seems to be a period for more than two weeks, you should definitely always see your doctor to avoid excessive blood loss.
Best Wishes,
Rosa
October 18, 2011 - 7:34amI found out I had a miscarriage Wednesday just gone..
Like you Laelwa I was bleeding for almost a month (about 26 days), in that time I made an appt to see my doctor to find out why the hell my period was going for so long (even posted a question on EmpowHer to find out why my period wouldn't stop.)
My blood test came back a positive pregnancy however the hormone level was only at 5 which indicated to my doctor that we had caught the tail end of an "unnoticed miscarriage" which would have gone unnoticed if I shrugged off the symptoms.
It's really disappointing miscarrying, I feel as though something I wanted so badly was taken off me before I even knew I had it... 1 second I'm being told theres a positive pregnancy and in the blink of an eye she mentioned the word miscarriage... It was all pretty oerwhelming. But it's not something to be ashamed of any more. I have done my research and about 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriage! And like Rosa said, its more often than we think because majority of them are unnoticed!
Well I can't be a Mum just yet, but I can have plenty of fun trying!!
December 9, 2011 - 11:04amAll in good time...
I'm sorry for your loss-- no matter how far along, it is still a painful process to go through. I found that for me it left a lot of unanswered questions like...what would the sex have been or would s/he be anything like my two living children? These are questions that I know I will never have a real answer to but I find happiness in knowing that I have a little angel up above.
Best Wishes,
Rosa

January 4, 2012 - 10:17pmDear Anonymous,
Are you pregnant? If so, please go to the Emergency Room as soon as possible.
If you are bleeding due to a period then it's important to look at your blood just in case it's a different color, heavy clotting, or bleeding to the point where you may be hemorrhaging. If your bleeding is irregularly heavy and you are clotting a lot, it would be wise to see or at the very least call your doctor as soon as possible.
Best Wishes,
Rosa
