Honey, you aren't pregnant!!!!!! You have had 3 periods since you claim you think you have been pregnant and your hpt said negative. Why do you think you are pregnant???
P.s. Not trying to be mean,. but use a condom next time and every time. You are only 16.

A m/c can happen at anytime in a pregnancy. However, they are much more common within the first trimester, less frequent in the second, and even less frequent in the third.
Anything after 20 weeks the baby is considered viable. That means that even if you delivered that early there is a possibility that the baby could survive, b/c their lungs are developed (but certainly not fully) A delivery that early will certainly cause many problems for the baby at a young age and the chances are slim, but I am a pediatric specialized nurse and have worked with quite a few babies that were born at 25 weeks and are doing great.
So the further into the pregnancy you get, the less likly you are to have a m/c or have problems with the baby being a premie. Best of luck!

You can miscarry at any time durin a pregnancy, the chances of miscarriage go down the further you are along in pregnancy though. You chances of miscarriage start to go down after you reach the 12 th week of pregnancy. Don't worry so much and if your doctor says that everything is looking good then you should be fine.

Yes, a miscarriage can happen at any time in the pregnancy! The are more common in the first 12-13 weeks, but are possible at any time. I would think that you would know it though! Have you started bleeding real heavy?? Or bad Pains or what??? Maybe it isn't a miscarriage but if you think it was then you definatly need to call your doctor or go to the er!! Good Luck!!!

yes. you can actually 'miscarry" at any point, but after so many weeks, they consider it a "stillbirth". but, the chance of miscarrying after 12 weeks is VERY low. that's where the old superstition of waiting until you are 3 months along to tell anyone comes from. if all your appts have been good, i wouldn't worry.

after 10 weeks there is only a %5 chance of loss, so it can happen but its rare.
I lost a baby at 19 weeks, its the worst thing that ever happened to me. but I now have a healthy 2 month old, who wants to eat now!!

You can miscarry at any time. And you realy need to see a doctor. They are the only ones who can tell you for sure. Good Luck.

ok everyone answered your question yes, but I read that you said your test was negative????? So if you were 16 weeks or whatever pregnant, you would have a positive test. I think you should make an ob appointment or call your local planned parenthood

its not as likely after 16 weeks but it is still possible. usually after 20 weeks it is considered a stillbirth because the baby doesnt actually tend to come out but is rather just not living anymore inside you.
