Some miscarriages happen unexpectedly, but many are accompanied by a few obvious early miscarriage symptoms and indicators.

The Very Earliest Miscarriage.
When a woman ovulates, an egg is released from her ovary and travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus. Sperm can fertilize an egg while it is in the fallopian tube or after it has reached the uterus. It begins to split after being fertilized.
The fertilized egg has divided into a blastocyst, which is essentially a large ball of cells, by the time it is five days old. The blastocyst embeds itself into the uterine lining around the tenth day, completing conception and making you technically pregnant.
The blastocyst then undergoes implantation, which involves the blastocyst breaking down tissues for nutrients. A miscarriage occurs when the tissue provides insufficient nutrition. The symptoms of early miscarriage may appear to be similar to a very heavy period. Many women mistakenly believe they had late, heavy menstruation instead of miscarriage.
7 Early Miscarriage Symptoms Every Women Should Know.
Many women don’t realize they’ve had a miscarriage until it’s too late. There are symptoms to look out for once you’ve determined you’re pregnant. The Mayo Clinic lists the following as the most typical early signs and symptoms of a miscarriage, also known as a spontaneous abortion:
1. Vaginal bleeding
2. Lower abdominal pain
3. Passing tissue or fluid through the vagina
4. Diminishing morning sickness
5. Decreasing breast tenderness
6. Lack of a fetal heartbeat
7. Unexplained weight loss
Remember that having a miscarriage doesn’t mean you won’t conceive again in the future. Most women who miscarry have healthy pregnancies later.
