Is There A Test To Detect Miscarriage And Stop It ?
Hi, I am in my 7th week of pregnancy . I was not planning this pregnancy, I conceived while using an IUD as birth control . I had my IUD removed 3 days ago knowing that it may cause me to lose the baby, but it had to be done. I was put on bed rest until further notice. Yesterday, I started cramping and spotting; today it’s more like a period, no clotting just cramps and light bleeding . I don’t want to lose the baby and was wondering if there is any further steps I can take, or is it too late? Also, how do you know when you have miscarried, can you use an at home test, or do you have to have a doctor see you?

Hi!
thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.com.Miscarriage can be clinically diagnosed more so on ultrasound examination wherein you can see the fetus,heart beat,placenta -anything wrong can be seen clearly.Otherwise severe cramping,bleeding especially clots can be a sign of impeding abortion.No home test will let you know.
