I'm not saying with all of them, but if it's VERY early (called a chemical pregnancy) and you don't test RIGHT when the test would be positive you could start to bleed during your normal monthly time and just think it's that. Much later and I guarantee you will know. There is NO WAY I could mistake my miscarriage for the normal monthly visitor. The earlier the pregnancy the greater the chances of miscarriage; most happen within a few weeks of pregnancy.
If I was you, I would have stopped right there, unless you got OB,GYN after your name. However, what do know, I only got 4 kids from two high risk pregnancies, one being a set of triplets and a wife who miscarried 5-6 times. Spent close to a million dollars, (thanks UHC!) on NICUs, high risk pregnancy OBs, and all tha ancillary stuff. One thing I learned. When the women are talking "women stuff," if you aren't XX, best to just keep your mouth shut instead of opening it and removing all doubt.
But the process wouldn't have been as fun!
Where did you get the figure that 70% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage? That is not true. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50% to 70% of miscarriages that do occur. For women in their childbearing years, the chances of having a miscarriage can range from 10-25%, and in most healthy women the average is about a 15-20% chance.
If you count chemical pregnancies they say it's 70%. For pregnancies farther along it's lower.
Man, I am in the wrong business.
