miscarriage with no symptoms

Not to worry any mamas. As this is pretty rare. But I was told on Sunday 10-26 that I was miscarrying my little one. I am of course completely devastated.  However is is worsened by the fact that other than the spotting I've had my entire pregnancy (literally) I have no symptoms.  No pain, clots, period - like bleeding,  cramps etc. I'd prefer not to have medical intervention but it's also really hard on my emotionally and physically not to know what's happening or when something might happen. I've learned that this is what's called a "silent miscarriage" and it occurs in only 1% of pregnancies.  Your body doesn't recognize/admit that you have miscarried and therefore doesn't attempt to go through with the process as it normally would.   has this happened to anyone?

I've been diagnosed twice in the last year (December and July) with a missed miscarriage, both at 11 weeks. One was completed by d&c a few days later, the second I started to finally miscarry naturally a week after being diagnosed (four weeks after baby stopped growing) but ended up being an incomplete miscarriage (placenta didn't separate properly resulting in hemorrhage) and therefore needed another d&c.
In short, my body is desperate to hold on no matter what. I'm now 6 weeks pregnant and hoping more than anything that we can hold on to this pregnancy - and honestly I hope that if I am to miscarry again it just happens spontaneously instead of going through all that again. To go to a routine first-trimester ultrasound and find that nobody's home in there...twice... pretty bad.
I am sorry for your loss and hope for you that next time around you have a happier ending.

How far were you? I have heard of this but I thought that was a misses miscarriage. But I may be thinking of two different things.
