A member asked:

If you bleed periodically while pregnant might you have had a miscarriage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes!: This is more common that we realize. Some women become pregnant and do not have a fetus. This is called a "blighted ovum". This ends up in a miscarriage early in the pregnancy. This could also mean an ectopic, however, so please see a provider and check it out!
