A member asked:

I had a positive pregnancy test last week and today i started bleeding like a period. is there any hope? what could i have done 2 prevent miscarrage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not your fault!: About 25% of early pregnancies are lost spontaneously, mostly due to chromosomal defects in the embryo. You did nothing wrong and could not done have anything to prevent this sad event. I wish you the best and a healthy baby!
