Do you think you can be pregnant and loose it and not know it? If you loose it early?

Yes. As a matter of fact that's usually how it happens. That is why most people and Dr.S will tell you to wiat to take a test. Most women will take tests now a days that are able to pick up the hormone 4 days prior to missing a period and it comes back positive but they end up getting their period when they were supposed to or a day or two late. If they would have never taken the test early they would have never known. It happen to me. I went to the hospital because I had really bad cramping. I was a day late and didnt even then I could be pregnant and they did a test and it came out that I was pregnant but the next day I started to bleed. I was an emotional rollercoaster. So its definatly possible. I think its 3 out of 4 women end up having a misscarriage. The best way to have it is to not know it happen.

Totally correct Cool

in the days before ultra sensitive pregnancy tests, a large proportion of women would get pregnant, not realise and would miscarry. This would be seen as a late/heavy period and life would go on blissfully unaware.

However pepole now find out they are pregnant as early as 2weeks Shocked and these non-viable pregnancies are coming to light.

Until these new tests no-one realised how many pregnancies end this way.

I agree with girrly it is best to not know - so much less grief.
