A member asked:
If i pass tissue and it isn't like a blood clot but looks like an umbilical cord could i have had a miscarriage?even though its small and no embryo

Maybe: In early pregnancy you cannot see embryo tissue. Unlikely it's umbilical cord but could be placental tissue (decidua/chorionic villi) which means the pregnancy has ended. However, if it's small it could just be mucous or other, which does NOT mean the pregnancy has ended. Can't tell without knowing what it was. See OB/GYN for follow up.

Passed tissue: Tissue that is passed when (potentially) pregnant is best examined microscopically to determine how it is related to the pregnancy. Sometimes important clues as to the cause of pregnancy problems can be detected and may impact future pregnancies.
