TMI - post miscarriage stuff.

Apologies for TMI, this involves bodily odours.

I had a mmc earlier in the year followed very quickly by a chemical pregnancy which I lost at the beginning of June. I've been bleeding ever since and for the last couple of days I've noticed a really bad smell. I had a shower this morning but by lunchtime I was embarrassed to stand next to anybody at work because I could smell it. I feel OK in myself otherwise. Could it be an infection?

Second question, should I stay off work to go to the doctors tomorrow morning because otherwise they can't take me until next week?

It sounds like it could be an infection, definitely get that checked out by your GP as soon as you can - I'm sure they can sort it out quickly with some antibiotics. Poor you, it sounds really tough. Sorry about your mmc and the early miscarriage you just had Hope things get better really soon.

Def sounds like an infection, and best to go to the GP tomorrow - the bleeding should have stopped a few weeks ago anyway, so it needs looking at.

So sorry for your losses.

Thank you for kind words. Yes, I'll go to the doctors tomorrow.
