Sorry I'm not sure where to post this. I'm a bit of a mess. I had what I thought was my 4th CP, only I never bled afterwards. Saw GP, on 21st Feb as hadn't passed it, he said to go back if I hadn't bled after another week. Saw a gynaecologist for a recurrent miscarriage appointment which has been booked for months on Wednesday, he said, don't worry, you will bleed, and gave me a pot to take a sample in when I did pass the loss.

On Friday I had a bit of black blood loss but not loads, then I was in the shower and that I can only describe as the gestational sac fell out of me. I managed to stop it washing away and put it in a pot. I wish I had taken a picture of it but it looked like a placenta with a short umbilical and then a sac with a small white bean inside it. I had been told if I passed anything to take it to the hospital for testing so I put it in the sample pot I had been given and took to the antenatal ward, which was where the gynaecologist had told me to take it. They said I needed to take it to delivery suite, delivery suite told me I needed to go to A&E, at which point I just sobbed. They took pity on me and took it and said they'd send it for samples.

The thing is I'm still not bleeding. Since Friday I've had a tiny bit of brown spotting and that's it. At the same time, for the past 9 days I have been severely ill. I've had uncontrollable diarrhoea, a temperature and stomach cramps along with a temperature. I didn't mention it to the gynaecologist as I actually didn't think they were related and I felt a bit better that morning.

So I just saw the GP who took a temperature from the top of my ear (rather than in ear as it's meant to be), and told me that I'm probably just low as I've had a miscarriage and that you don't always bleed when you have a miscarriage as there is nothing to come out?! Apparently I will bleed in 6 weeks or so?! Am I wrong for thinking that is crazy? I said to him, I feel so ill, I'm worried it's an incomplete miscarriage and he said, well did you do another pregnancy test? And I said yes and he said, oh well if that was negative the miscarriage is complete. I said, so if I only bleed when there is something to come out, why do I have a period every month to which he said the lining of your womb needs to leave. But apparently it doesn't when you miscarry according to him?

I don't know what to do. I honestly used all my strength to get to the GP and I feel like just sobbing. Actually I am. I don't feel like I've been taken seriously, I don't understand what is happening and I'm scared.

Just got back from the hospital. The sample that they tested showed pregnancy tissue but not 100% of it and so they needed to scan me for retained products of conception. All clear, which I expected as I have been bleeding heavily since yesterday. Finally it it over and I can move onto the next cycle.

@Whyhaveidonethis am glad they've finally taken it seriously and scanned you and now you can have peace of mind that there's nothing left inside. I felt such relief when I was finally told that all had gone in my mmcs. Look after yourself, you've been through such a long ordeal you must be emotionally exhausted x
