Have posted a few times recently. Am a diabetic on an insulin pump, who had a missed miscarriage at 4-5 weeks (so, over a month ago)
Went into hospiatl for an ERPC on Fri morning. Was supposed to have day surgery. No one explained that I would be fitted in, amongst the emergency surgeries. Was starting to get distraught that it wouldn't be done, but was done at 10pm.
Went hypo the next morning, but no one noticed. Was in pain. Told Consultant that I had not 'opened my bowels'. Asked about anti-biotics, told I didn't need any, sent home, late saturday pm.
Am still in pain and have not been able to... pooh ( sorry for tmi)
Minimal bleeding.
I have taken Dulco-lax, a very mild constipation , which works very slowly, but this has not had any effect. Was I silly to take this ?
Should I go to A&E tomorrow. They never offered me the choice of ultrasound, to ensure that everything had been extracted. Do I need another scan ?
Why am I in so much discomfort ?

I had an ERPC and no problems like that at all, so I would say yes -- go in and get checked.

Really sorry you have been through this Oblomov. Definitely go in and get checked. I would specifically say you want a scan, and tell them your concerns. Let us know how you are xxx
