A member asked:
If a fertilized egg doesn't attach and you release it during your period could that be a miscarriage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technically no: Since it did not attach to the endometrium and uterus there would not be any HCG produced and therefore, technically no pregnancy even though the egg was fertilized.
