I had a miscarriage about 9 weeks ago. I continued bleeding for 3.5 weeks after the the D&C (or ERCP as they call it these days), but was told this was normal. It stopped eventually to my enormous relief. I then had a break of 2 weeks and had another really heavy period. Great I thought I'm back to normal. I can try again - hurray. Then 1 week later I started to bleed again (mainly brown dicharge) with strange pain. They were not like period pains but very difficult to explain. I ached badly on the one side of my vagina and what felt like the top of my womb. It was a dull ache not sharp pains. I decided it was time to go back to my GP. he was very nice. Unfortunately he thinks I may have an infection (he described it as like having a cold in the womb) even though I don't have a temperature etc. He said the other alternitive is that everything has not been removed by the D&C. I must go for another ultrasound scan to confirm this and may have to have another OP. He has given me very strong anti-biotics (which have upset my tummy) in the hope that it is just an infection! Since starting the anti-biotics my period has gone heavier again with proper red blood. Is this the final clearout? Please say it is, I'm really fed up with it all. All I want is to be back to normal so we can try again.
Has this happened to anyone else. I just don't know what to expect next?
