I’m hoping that someone could help with some advice. I had a MMC in November and had a D&C (the operation) on 21st Nov. After the operation I bled for the next 6 weeks. It’s a low quantity of blood and not what I’d call fresh but it wasn’t stopping. I did a pregnancy test which came out negative.
I had a scan last week, which confirmed that there were ‘debris’ (the scanner’s words, not mine) left which measured about 2 x 3cm and that my womb hadn’t returned to ‘normal’. The doctor advised me to go down the medicine route to return to normal. The doctor said that I would know if the various tablets were working if I bled. Last Friday I took the misoprostol and got stomach cramps, however after all 3 doses, there was no difference to the amount that I was bleeding, so I have no idea if it has worked or not. The doctor had told me that I may bleed for up to 2 weeks, so I don’t know if what I’m experiencing is ‘normal’, if I should call the hospital tomorrow or if I should leave it 2 weeks to see if the bleeding stops.
Has anyone experienced this? Do you have any advice that you can share? This is like a nightmare that isn’t stopping… Thanks!
