Missed miscarriage

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me I have been trying for a baby and I came on a very heavy period, at the end of it I have a photo of what looks like goo and a big clot, I’m not sure how to upload it on here to see what you think, if it could be a early miscarriage

Was your period signif late? If not, it is unlikely that youd notice the difference between an v early miscarriage and a normal period.

Big clots can also happen as part of a period (if bigger chunks of the womb lining come away at once, rather than dissolving bit by bit which is more usual).

I assume there were no positive tests? With a v early misscarriage typically the tests go briefly positive before turning negative again.

Btw, a "missed misscarriage " is when the fetus dies but the body continues to act pregnant. So in a MMC there would be no bleeding, clots, nothing.

Btw - about the pic this is cause you cant post pics for the first 48 hours when you sign up to use mumsnet Smile

Sorry, one last thing. The reason I asked if your period was late was that any structures of a sac or fetus dont form until 6-7 weeks pregnant. So unless it's been that long since your previous period, it's unlikelyto be related to a pregnancy.
