Is it possible to have a misscarage and not know it?

Question

Ok...I know this sounds weird but a couple months ago my cycle was like 40 days long and regularly it is only 30. So on like day 32 I started to take pregnancy tests. They were all negative but one. One test was positive. I continued to test , thinking I would get another positive to confirm my pregnancy but I never did. I eventually started my period on Day 40 of my cycle and it was a normal period, not overly heavy and I didn't have any unusually painful cramps...just normal menstral cramps. I guess I just want to know...Does it sound like I could have had a misscarage? Don't you normally have really bad cramping? I'm just sort of wondering....I never went to the doc since I ended up starting my period...and I had a regular 30 day cycle the next month...so hmmm? I don't know what do you guys think???

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. Many women have miscarriages and don't even know it because they mistake it for a regular period. It just happens and they only way people do find out is because of the pregnancy test that tell you that you're pregnant like 5 days before your missed period.

Answer 2

Did you pass a big blood clot? If so maybe a miscarriage. You should talk to your doc. and see what happened. Sometimes our body changes and can get a later period or an early one. but don't mistake for "I miss carried"  

Answer 3

you could have mistaken it for a normal period. so yes, it is possible.

when you have an early miscarriage, the fetus comes out of you and it's so small that it can easily be mistaken as a blood clot. i know that sounds gross, but it's the truth. you could very well have had a miscarriage,  but the pregnancy test could have had a false positive, which happens occasionally.

Answer 4

sounds like a chemical pregnancy it means you get a positive then you bleed the egg fertilizes but does not inplant hence the bleeding.

Answer 5

it sounds like you could have had a chemical pregnancy.

Answer 6

Sounds like it could have been, but don't get too upset about it. Because being upset will reduce your chances to fall pregnant again.

Good luck!!!

Answer 7

it's always possible.... unless u had it looked into at the time no one will ever really know....
