Was I Pregnant And Miscarried Or Never Pregnant At All?

This is a very common question. Many people who are late, but begin bleeding before taking a pregnancy test, or have a negative test, assume that they were pregnant and miscarried. The “evidence” for this piles up when the cramps are stronger, there is more blood, and maybe even clots are passed.

Miscarried-or-not-pregnant

Most likely, this was not a miscarriage. Remember that light bleeding is common in pregnancy and may not signal the end if it stops shortly after it starts. See symptoms for more information. If you have had a positive pregnancy test, this information is not for you. There is no doubt you were pregnant. Go the the miscarriage diagnosis section instead.
One important note: If your blood type is Rh negative (such as O negative, A negative, B negative, or AB negative), you MUST have a shot to prevent building antibodies after a miscarriage if the father was Rh positive. If you even suspect a miscarriage, find out your blood type and see a doctor right away (within 72 hours) to determine if you need the shot to protect your future pregnancies.

Here’s some information that might help you understand unusual periods that are not miscarriages, especially if you had a negative pregnancy test:

  • But my period was so heavy and painful.

Any late period is going to be heavy.

A late period is caused by extra time being added to the first half of the cycle, which is when the lining is being built. If more lining is built, it will cause more blood flow and stronger cramps to get it out. Blood clots are a natural part of any lining that has had to hang around longer than intended. Late periods are often caused by illness, stress, serious physical exertion, or hormone changes.

  • But I timed intercourse just right, and my period came early.

An early period is almost never a miscarriage.

An early period is often caused by a lack of ovulation, or the ovulation of an egg that is not able to be fertilized. As a result, progesterone is not produced sufficiently to keep the last part of your cycle going. In this situation, a pregnancy cannot happen. Even a positive ovulation test does not mean your ovulation will surely happen or will produce a quality egg. If you are charting your temperatures, however, and see that you did not have at least 10 days between ovulation and when your periods began, you may have a luteal phase defect. Read more about it.

But I saw some tissue that must have been a pregnancy.

A baby from a pregnancy that made your period less than two weeks late is not usually visible to the naked eye.

Even if the baby had grown, it would be about the size of a grain of rice. This would be impossible to see amongst the blood and clots. What you are seeing may be part of a pregnancy, but is more likely just clots and uterine lining from an off-month cycle.

  • But I got this huge golf-ball sized clot I’ve never seen before. It had to be a baby.

Tissue that is like a ball is often what is called a corpus luteum cyst, and not a baby.

An extra long or extra short period can be caused when the shell that once housed the egg (called the corpus luteum) swells in size and throws off the hormone chain. This ball will come out in the period, leaving many women to believe they were pregnant, when actually they had a non-viable egg that month.
Without a positive pregnancy test, it is impossible to know for sure if you were pregnant. If you are actively trying to get pregnant, and have had several suspicious periods, then it is time to get tested for a luteal phase defect. You may indeed be losing babies due to low progesterone.

One way to possibly find out is get to the doctor immediately when you think you are pregnant but start bleeding heavily (do not wait, even a day or two) and have a quantitative hCG blood pregnancy test done. Any hCG in your system would show that you were at one point pregnant. Otherwise, unless your blood type is Rh negative, you should not need to worry about a lost pregnancy.

Getting Pregnant With The Law Of Attraction

Filed Under Getting pregnant-Law of Attraction | 1 Comment

It’s pretty hard not to notice the attention “The Secret” has been getting in the last months.

But what is all the hype?

It’s all about the “Law of Attraction”, an age-old Universal Principle that determines what is or isn’t in our life.

How does it work?

That’s the secret everyone is talking about.

What does this have to doing with trying to conceive?

Well, for someone who has been seeking fertility and it hasn’t happened yet, the news is good.

If you are a woman trying to get pregnant you may not even realize that you’re activating the Law of Attraction all the time.

If you are not activating this Universal Law in your favor, then infertility may be what you are facing.

That is the simple version.

Here are a few things to ask yourself:

If you have more worry, doubt and fear about getting pregnant; or find it hard to trust that you will be able to get pregnant and birth a healthy baby, then you have infertility active in your system.

If you feel greater amounts of despair when you start your monthly menstrual cycle, then you have infertility active in your system.

If you’ve failed IUI’s, IVF’s or have had miscarriages; or feel like you’ve exhausted your options in conceiving, then infertility is dominate and active in your system.

If your marriage or partnership has become strained as a result of you trying to conceive, then infertility is active in your system.

If you’ve been told that you have PCOS, poor egg quality, or that you are too old; and thus feel determined that you’re doomed, then infertility is dominate and active in your system.

I could go on, but I think you get it. Here is my point.

You MUST turn infertility off, in your system.

And then turn fertility on (physically, mentally, and emotionally).

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just turn fertility on like a light switch? Well that’s what I’m talking about here.

I believe it’s time to turn on your fertility. Are you with me so far?

Experience has shown that a woman diagnosed with “infertility,” focuses on infertility.

The problem with focusing on infertility is that the Universal Law of Attraction teaches that what we focus on becomes evident in our reality, every time.

Therefore, focusing on infertility activates infertility in the system.

This is science, not fluff.

This is what everyone is talking about, including Oprah.

It doesn’t matter which conceptions methods are being used…IVF (in vitro fertilization), IUI (artificial insemination), Clomid, or natural conception methods, — individually or in combination.

It doesn’t matter if a woman has had one or more miscarriages.

It doesn’t matter if she’s been trying to conceive for 6 months or 6 years.

What matters is that there are very specific things she can do to set the Law of Attraction in motion to work in her favor and get pregnant.

“I started to realize that being in alignment with the Law of Attraction isn’t a luxury, but a necessity. Your book put me back on the path of my intention and now I’m pregnant!”

Let’s use a garden analogy and break this down into several steps. If you were going to plant a 6×6 raised garden bed, most likely you would do the following:

1)You would assess the soil and add deficient nutrients into the soil. This is analogous to the health of your own inner (physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual) terrain.

2)You would pull out all the weeds. This would be the step analogous to noticing the focus on infertility.

3)With healthy soil and the weeds pulled, you would then plant your seeds. This part is your intention to getting pregnant and birthing a healthy baby.

4)Then you would water at regular intervals, ensuring that weeds stayed pulled. Meanwhile the sun, soil and water are causing the seeds to sprout and grow. This is the part of Law of Attraction that can sometimes be the hardest. Keeping the weeds pulled (focus on infertility) and the plot watered (focus on fertility).

This is how life grows, we as humans are no exception to this rule.

This Law of Attraction step is vital in optimizing the chances of getting pregnant.
