Saw this term in a group and got a little scared. My test was faint positive and then period came few days late. Could that be this? matlab what exactly does it mean?
Yes, it is basically a very early miscarriage that happens right after implantation. Don't lose hope, it is actually very common and means you can conceive.
My MIL told me that in the old days, they didn't even have tests to find this out, they just thought it was a late period. It is basically an early miscarriage right after the egg fertilizes, so try not to stress too much, beta.
Having PCOS made me read up on this a lot. It is a very early loss where implantation happens but doesn't progress. It is heartbreaking, but please know it is super common and many women go on to have healthy pregnancies later.
It's a term for an extremely early miscarriage, where you get a faint positive on a home test but periods arrive shortly after. It's usually due to chromosomal issues, not anything you did wrong, so don't beat yourself up.
