A member asked:

I had spotting for a wk & then stopped. i had sex & then bled for a whole week. what are the chances of falling pregnant whilst having a miscarriage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: A woman cannot get pregnant while she is having a miscarriage. During a miscarriage, the fetus has died and is on the way out. The woman won't be ready to get pregnant until she ovulates again. Of course, she has to confirm that she is actually having a miscarriage (instead of a heavy, crampy period).
