Blood trapped in womb after ERPC. Help!

Had a surgical ERCP 10 days ago, have had pelvic, stomach and back pain since with bleeding that comes and goes, one minute I’m soaking maternity pads and the next I have nothing for 12 hours. I also lost clots.

Had a scan today and the report says

“endometrium is distended by a moderate to large amount of heterogenous fluid with mixed echogenicity within the cavity. No vascularity demonstrated on colour Doppler. Appearances are suggestive with blood products.”

The nurse that saw me after said the Dr was too busy to see me and to go to A&E because of my pain, I asked if she could explain to me what was happening and she said the Dr isn’t concerned about anything than me getting pain relief (60mg codeine and paracetamol not touching it).

I didn’t want to go and sit in A&E because to be honest, this is all a bit of a nightmare and I’m very tearful. I just wanted to go pick my son up from the babysitter and get my daughter from school on time.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? They also took blood to make sure my HCG is falling and a blood count to check my HB levels.

I had a weird mild contraction like feeling then I went to the toilet and as I pulled my knickers down, this fell on the floor and my pad looked like this.

So sorry to hear you are still struggling and bleeding with clots..i would definitely comtact the epu or your GP on Monday in case you need to be scanned again.
In the meantime keep an eye out for any potential signs of infection.
