We touch on ectopic and molar pregnancies, clarify the medical terminology around abortion, and explain different types of miscarriages.

I just had a biochemical pregnancy and was quite confused about it. Thank you for the clarification!

[roxyqueen]

Thanks for this, I’ve been following your videos through ivf and just tested positive. Now bracing for next few weeks - god forbid, but I want to be educated

[Luzei_arts]

Not quite sure how I got here but I really appreciate what you do regardless!

I live in the UK where first scan normally happens around 12 weeks. In my first pregnancy (after a positive pregnancy test) I got strong cramps and bleeding around 10 weeks, and was then seen for a scan which showed no embryo. Examination of what I passed showed no signs of embryo or placenta tissue 😢 I don’t even know how to define this loss - would this be a missed miscarriage or abortion?

Went to my 8 week ultrasound yesterday and was told the baby is still measuring at 6 weeks and that there is no heart activity. I have yet to pass the tissue and I want so badly to hold out hope that my baby is still alive and that they just missed something. A nurse called me and asked how I would like to proceed and I don’t know what to do. At this stage, would passing the tissue naturally be too painful?

Hello dr. Lora, I have experienced miscarriage because my baby wasn't grow normal at 11 weeks. After done a dilation and curettage, my discharge become more sticky than before in my first period. Is that something no need to worry?
Thank you
