A member asked:

Around the time of my period i started bleeding but it was shorter, there was small grey tissue and might be pregnant, could it be a miscarriage ?

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Possible: If you have or had a positive pregnancy test - then yes. If the pregnancy tests are negative - then no. It is common to pass tissue with the normal menstrual flow.
