Post-ERPC symptoms - bit worried - please help...

[SnowFall]

I went for my 3 month scan a week ago only to find that the fetus had stopped developing at about 5 weeks. I had an ERPC the next day as my body was obiously still convinced I was pregnant.
All went without incident, but I really haven't bled at all since I left the hospital!? I was told to expect beleeding like a heavy period for 7-10 days so am a bit worried. Also getting really nasty pain when I wee.
Anyone got any advice?
Any help much appreciated!

Snowfall you might have a wee infection so get the doctor to test for this.
I have had 2 erpcs and from what I remember I didn't bleed at all for about a week afterwards and then I started to bleed again for a while. What's happening to you sounds completely normal, apart from the weeing pain.
Sorry for your loss, I've been there many times.
I'm sure it won't be long before have a successful pregnancy.
You need to concentrate on building up your mental and physical health again.
Good luck.

After my ERPC I had no bleeding whatsoever, and af arrived 5 weeks later. I think you may have an infection though with regard to the wee thing. Recommend a trip to your GP.

Good luck.

hmmmm have been to the GP, A&E the early pregnancy ward, had a scan, urine tests, blood tests etc etc and everyone just looked at me blankly. I'm still a mystery it would seem.
Anyway, I'm now loaded up with soooo many anitbiotics I could swim a sewer without concern so fingers crossed that will fix the infection they said I didn't have anyway. Not v happy.

BTW they said not bleeding was actually a good thing. So I guess that's one positive.

hi snowfall,i wouldnt worry about the bleeding ,like i say ive been through it many times with none or very little blood and all has been fine.at least you are on antibiotics just in case there is a infection there.eh!
i hope you start to feel better real soon .
take care !
