Let me first say that I am sorry for your dilemma. Secondly, we are not ob/gyn's here, but I am the next best thing. I am an OB nurse.

Now, did you have a miscarriage? Only your doctor can tell you that. I don't have access to your medical records or the lab work.

How old was the pregnancy? Again, that is something that I cannot answer.

Why did you miscarry? Unfortunately, there are many many answers to that question. It could be that the fertilized egg was not viable for a full term pregnancy, it could be that your uterus was not prepared to implant a fertilized egg. We never really know the reasons for miscarriages, it's something that just happens sometimes.
