Can you have a mild miscarriage?

Yes, it is possible to have a mild miscarriage, also known as a chemical pregnancy. A chemical pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, but fails to develop into a viable embryo. This type of miscarriage typically happens very early in pregnancy, often before a woman even realizes she is pregnant. Symptoms of a mild miscarriage can include light vaginal bleeding, mild cramping, and a negative pregnancy test. In most cases, a mild miscarriage does not require medical treatment and the woman's body will naturally pass the tissue from the uterus.
