Can you have an incomplete miscarriage and still be pregnant?

This is usually because the fertilised egg hasn’t developed normally so the pregnancy sac grows but the baby doesn’t. Sometimes the baby stops developing at such an early stage that it is absorbed back into the surrounding tissue. As with a missed miscarriage, you may still feel pregnant.

Is an ectopic pregnancy considered a miscarriage?

In many cases of ectopic pregnancy, the fertilised egg dies quickly and is broken down by your system before you miss your period or after you experience some slight pain and bleeding. In these cases an ectopic pregnancy is rarely diagnosed and it is assumed to be a miscarriage.

What happens if pregnancy tissue is left after abortion?

Often, some of the pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus after a miscarriage. If it is not removed by scraping the uterus with a curette (a spoon-shaped instrument), you may bleed for a long time or develop an infection.

How do you get rid of an incomplete miscarriage?

Treatment for an incomplete miscarriage usually entails one of the following:

Watchful waiting, which means waiting to see if the body passes the products of conception naturally.
A surgical procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C)
Medical management with Cytotec (misoprostol)

Can you bleed heavily for two days and still be pregnant?

What does heavy implantation bleeding look like?

What does it look like? Typical menstrual bleeding usually lasts for three to five days, starting heavier and then lightening up. Blood from implantation bleeding is typically dark brown or black, which means it’s older blood, although sometimes it can be pink or red as well. It’s also not a heavy flow.
