Miscarriage and Stillbirth Answer A5601

According to the symptoms you reported, you might be experiencing ovarian cysts that either puts pressure on the surrounding organs or releases itself in the abdominal cavity.

An early miscarriage is very hard to detect without an adequate examination. The embryo is very small and implanted in the uterine wall. When rejected, blood spotting and pain due to contractions can be detected. An ultrasound can confirm if this happened, by detecting the shallow sac in which the embryo was implanted.
