Fibroids and ovarian cysts can make it more difficult to become pregnant, and can cause miscarraige  If there was a prenancy at the time of the ultra sound ,it would have been seen. I presume you have an app't with your OB soon to discuss these results.  He/she is your best soucre of information since every case is different.  I have listed 2 web addresses below for good articles to read.   Wish you well.

It can happen at any time during the pregnancy, although it is more likely to happen during the first trimester. I have had two miscarriages and one healthy baby (my miracle baby) the first miscarriage I was about 5 months along and the second I was only a few weeks along. I really hope that nothing like that happens, if you have any bleeding whatsoever call your doctor immediately. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child.

You should look at this one, though I'm not certain it answers your question. This, of course, is just one  little bit from it.\n\n"The researchers also found that women who had bleeding during pregnancy, those who had three or more first-trimester abortions, and those who had either a miscarriage or pregnancy termination in the second trimester were more likely to miscarry after amniocentesis. " (1)\n\nThis also has some good information:\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/genomics/gtesting/ACCE/FBR/CF/CFCliUti_34.htm\n\nBecause I don't know the circumstances of your miscarriage, the possible genetic problems that were being looked for and so on, I can't research\nyour question very well. But a Yahoo! search on "rate of miscarriage amniocentesis" seems to turn up some pretty in-depth reports. Just skip anything like "Baby News" and such. A quick glance can show whether a site is relevant and reputable.\n\nBest luck with future pregnancies, and my condolences on your loss.

It is my understanding that most pregnancies end up miscarrying very early on.  Now that we are finding out about pregnancies sooner, we are also finding out about the losses sooner.  This is normal.\n\nYour mother's ability to carry a baby to term shouldn't affect you.  However, if you are pregnant or are considering getting pregnant, go to an obstetrician or a midwife for an appointment to discuss your concerns and to get a complete checkup.  That way you can guarantee your (and your baby's) health.

Starting the pill will affect the amount you bleed. It may stop entirely or you may spot constantly (I've seen both). It is unlikely you had a miscarriage. If you had you would have been bleeding profusely (enough hat you would have known something was wrong and done to the hospital).

Did they tell you anything about the test results? Sometimes women who have repeated miscarriages like this have an abnormal clotting factor in their blood that causes the placenta to clot off early in pregnancy and results in miscarriage; in other cases it could be due to incompatibility in certain blood factors between mother and fetus. Sometimes they don't find a specific cause. From your question it suggests that you CAN carry a pregnancy (since you have a child and the last was lost so late and unrelated to anything with you)...so I wouldn't give up hope on this.  As for chromosomal...some people have what is called a "balanced translocation", which doesn't affect them but could cause genetic problems in their children and lead to miscarriages as you describe. The chances for a successful preganancy in that situation could be significantly lower than if it was a problem like the ones described previously. The testing would tell if you or your  partner has such a translocation. There are ways around that situation, too...but they would involve IVF, to ensure that any potential babies conceived did NOT carry the translocation.

Lots of people have one miscarriage and then never miscarry again. Just take it easy. Good luck, hun.

The most danger is in the first trimester of pregnancy when the embryo's cells are dividing rapidly.  There is no danger to the mother.  We try not to do CT scans in these situations, except in the case of an emergency (ie:  the mother's life is in danger with no diagnosis).  Todays CT scanners put out such a low level of radiation that the risks are not as great as in years past.  Maybe we just choose to stay cautious....

I'm sorry to hear of your loss if you did have a miscarriage.  Your OB/GYN  will most likely do a D&E (Dilation and Evacuation).  They take you to the operating room, put you under, dilate your cervix and remove the fetus/any remaining tissue.  There is a risk of infection if tissue remains in the cervix.  The physician could induce you to pass the fetus, however I believe most prefer a D&E since it is less traumatic for the patient (it also depends how far along in the 2nd trimester you were).  Since you are in the 2nd trimester, they will do a complete workup to try to determine the cause of the miscarriage.  This would involve checking your blood for certain antibodies that may make you more likely to have a miscarriage, performing an ultrasound of your uterus to look for any anomalies/defects, and a CBC (complete blood count) .  Most miscarriages occur in the 1st trimester and are due to chromosome abnormalities within the fetus, so when a patient has a miscarriage in the 2nd trimester the physician starts looking for other causes.  Also, when you become pregnant again, the physician will probably schedule visits more often to ensure that baby is growing properly/healthy and that your cervix isn't short.

Go to your doctor NOW and tell him about the bleeding and miscarriage. NOW!!!

Stress has long been suspected as a possible cause of miscarriage, with several studies indicating an increased risk among women reporting high levels of emotional or physical turmoil in their early months of pregnancy or just before conception. But while a relationship has been noted, researchers didn't know exactly how a woman's stress could cause miscarriage. \n\nResearchers found stress hormones such as cortisol are raised in the bloodstream, suppressing the production of progesterone - a hormone which is crucial to the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. \n\nIt was found that women who miscarried were more likely to have reported stress than women whose pregnancies continued. They were also more likely to have had lower progesterone and PIBF levels. \n\nResearchers are recognizing that there are two facets to the link between stress and miscarriage. One is that a stressful life can contribute to miscarriage. The other is that the stress of multiple miscarriages can make subsequent miscarriages more likely. The most recent study to back this theory, reported in the November 17, 2004 issue of New Scientist, concluded that stress releases a "cascade of hormones" that can lead to spontaneous abortion. It followed 864 pregnant women &3150; 55 of whom miscarried. Those who miscarried were more likely to have identified themselves as experiencing stress before or during pregnancy.

I think when you are ready. However, you may want to wait til the first trimester is over because the risk is higher to have a miscarriage. I would tell family first though.

If this is your first and you are early in the pregnancy, you can just take a pill and have something like a miscarriage.  It will not affect you being able to get pregnant later.  But I wouldn't suggest doing it a lot because too many abortions will hinder you from geting pregnant later.  The sugery is the same but they usually do that with people that are further along.  It is very very uncomfortable and you should schedule a day to get it done and then a day after to rest and take antiboitics.

Yes in fact it is quite common.\nIt's estimated that 25% of all women have bleeding in early pregnancy. One possible cause of this bleeding is implantation bleeding.\nBleeding while pregnant doesn't mean that miscarriage is certain, but it can occur. About half of the women who bleed do not have miscarriages. Miscarriage can occur at any time during the first half of pregnancy. Most occur during the first 12 weeks. Miscarriage occurs in about 15 to 20 percent of pregnancies. If you think you have passed fetal tissue, take it to the doctor's office so it can be examined.\nMany women still bleed at the time their period would have arrived had they not been pregnant. But it can also be an early miscarriage.(tends to be like a heavy period at this early stage).\nSo if you knew you were pregnant you would want to call your Dr.\nIf you are unsure that you were pregnant then I would probably not worry about it and just take it that you have your period.\n\nOf course if you have heavy bleeding/pain/bad smelling discharge you need to see your Dr.\n(Heavy bleeding is 1 pad/hour.)

Its safe if its a normal pregnancy and if you stick to basic/natural methods and hygeine. Sex in first trimester should be avoided though

It is possible to miscarry but if you dont you might want to get an abortion. Now that you have injested drugs in your system that does not give your child much of a chance to be normal. He or she could have mental problems or  disorders.
