On Feb 15 I had a D&C as a result of a missed miscarriage. I bled for 2 weeks after and then had light bleeding / spotting for one more week. Two weeks after that stopped I got my first period. It went for two weeks, stopped for a few days and then started again, lasting for one more week. On Wednesday I started to get cramps and started bleeding lightly. Today I have been bleeding heavily and for two hours this afternoon I was in excruciating pain with cramps hitting me every couple of minutes. I normally get period pain on the first day of my period but it has never been as bad as this and panadol or nurofen will take the pain away, I was getting to the point of thinking did I need to go to A & E as pain relief was doing nothing. I finally managed to doze off for half an hour and when I woke they were gone. Hopefully they don´t come back.
This was my first pregnancy and so I have never experienced anything like this before, I guess I´m just wanting some advice or info on what others have been through. It is a really crappy time and it messes with you so much, I really had no idea how bad it would be. |

Sorry for your loss JoLizzy. You're right its a really crappy thing to be going through.
It sounds like the pain/cramping could have been retained product passing. Its not uncommon for bleeding to stop and start when you have retained product. For peace of mind I would see if your GP can refer you for a scan to check that you're all clear now. -------------

| Thanks Faffer, the cramps are gone and I´ve passed what looks like some tissue stuff so I´m hoping it´s gone. |

JoLizzy- Im very sorry for your loss. I would def got to A&E or see your doc. I had a miscarrige with my first and after i left the hospatil they told me to go stright back up if my bleeding went on to long (longer than 2wks) or I had real bad pains. You want to just doubble cheek as you can get infections and things that can cause harm latter on when you try again. ------------- [URL=http://lilypie.com][IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/TikiPic.php/0UKrA9O.jpg][IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/0UKrp12.png][/URL] |

you could get your quantitative hcg done, if it is more than 5 you have retained products. D+C's are blind procedures and its not unknown for them to not get everything out.
An ultrasound will show for definite. Sorry you are going through this ------------- 3x miscarriages, balanced translocation likely culprit. BFP from 2nd round IVF, The Bonk born in May 2013 |
