ABOUT BLEEDING. TMI WARNING

[sorrytmi]

Hi

sorry about the name change but am embarrassed.

is it normal for the bleeding after a mc (about a week later) to suddenly go very dark brown?

am worried, is this normal or should i be concerned?

thanks

I think brown blood is old blood, brigth red fresh blood would be of more concern. I dont think I would be too worried but would call my gp in the morning if I were you.

about the miscarriage.

sorry if this is tmi but, theres still clots in it and im worried that it might not have all passed out iykwim

also, does anyone know how long you bleed for?

Brown blood is definitely old blood and less of a problem than bright red blood. You are probably losing the last of whatever you have to lose (sorry, I realise this must be sensitive for you). It happened to me when I lost a twin with my last pg. To be frank with you, I lost more brown blood (about a week or so later) than I did red blood at the time of the loss and it was pretty scary. If you are at all worried, get in touch with your GP.

When I lost the brown stuff, it was much thicker than normal blood consistency. I think I had 2 or 3 days (on and off, not continuously) of brown bleeding. Sorry if that is a bit graphic.

Sorrytmi,

I am so sorry to hear you MC, Its a horrible time. How are you feeling emotionally?
When i mc i has a d&c, i bleed for about 10 days after, The brown blood is old blood and like bunny2 said i would be more concerned if it was bright red. The clots are ok, it is excess tissue. Even when i had a d&c i had clots after. But my doctor told me this is fine.
My periods were longer after d&c aswell.
Hope this helps.

thanks lonelymum. dont worry about being to graphic or insensitive, it took me along time to word my posts cause i didnt want to upset people iykwim but theres never really a nice way of putting it.

im also wondering when the physical pain stops? its seeming to come and go atm.

im doing ak emotionally i think, tbh ive alot on my mind atm so its having to wait in the queue of things to deal with iykwim. but thanks for asking minnie

I alternated bright red and brown blood. Passing clots is also quite normal. I bled for about 10 days.
If it goes on for too long or if you are feeling ill go see GP.

i also had this after miscarriage early last year. TBH I can't remember how long it was for all the bleeding to stop...

hope you're ok, it's an awful thing to go through xxx
