Q: Doctor, l missed my period for five days and exactly on the fifth day in the morning l had a terrible stomach ache which latter lead to bleeding and that was how l lost the pregnancy. Please, what could be the cause? Thank you.
A: Interesting question! Did you confirm your pregnancy before this episode of bleeding? Well, if you did and indeed this was a miscarriage, don’t be too hard on yourself. Sometimes, these early miscarriages is nature’s way of ‘removing’ babies that may not have survived for long. Remember that this does not mean that you cannot conceive and have a healthy baby again. You absolutely can!
For those who wondered, it is possible to confirm pregnancy as early as the first day of your missed period, because by then, technically, the person would have been at least 2 weeks pregnant.
I had discussed miscarriage and causes in a previous post. Please click on this link to read more…including how soon you can also start trying for another baby.
Remember that the pregnancy test may read positive for a few weeks even after the miscarriage. I’m not sure you’ve seen a doctor in all this. Be sure to see your doctor to help you through this period and indeed confirm that the pregnancy no longer exists.
Have a good night, people 😀

Dear Doc,
I am finding it hard to understand and explain what am going through now. I genuinely need your help.
I had intercourse with my husband from the 8th day of my cycle till the 18th day. On the day of my menstruation, nothing showed but at the midnight I saw spotting. Very scanty and shabby colour of blood, which is not stable. I could wear my pant from morning till night no stain but that’s next day, I ll just see a stain. I am so so worried, could it be what? Hormonal issues? Genetics, pregnancy or what?
