Feel awful asking this on here but was wondering........

[Rosepip]

if heavy vaginal discharge is normal after miscarrying and everything is complete? I had my third consecutive miscarriage early October at 8 weeks. My two other mc's were very early at 4 weeks, and physically, things settled back very quickly. This time, once the sac had passed and the bleeding had stopped after a couple of weeks, I started having quite heavy discharge, almost the same amount you get during ovulation, but this has been on a daily basis for the past couple of weeks. TMI warning (sorry) - its yellowish colour and has a slight odour, nothing offensive as such but I'm not sure if this is normal. I've told myself that everything is settling back to normal but if it carries on any longer, I think I should see my GP. Any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you :)

hi rosepip, am really sorry for your loss :(

if it's unlike any normal odour you get I would say get to the GP and get checked out just in case it's an infection from some little bit retained. Better to get checked out and it turns out it's just one of those things...

Definitely get it checked out. As soon as you can. I had a post mc infection and didn't get as far as the discharge, I went in to talk to my GP about a recurrent miscarriage clinic referral and he did a quick check of my tummy, noticed I was red hot and checked my temp, packed me off to a&e with a warning they will keep me in for a few days on an antibiotic drip. He was spot on with that. Please don't delay, in fact if I were you I'd be thinking of trying to find an out of hours GP service rather than wait until Monday.

I'm sorry for your losses and I don't wish to worry you when you're already in a shit place but they take this sort of thing really seriously.

Rosepip been thinking about you and hope you're OK. Let us know how you get on.

Well, I went to see my GP who sent me to the nurse to have some swabs taken. Results came back 'normal' so I can only assume that its everything settling down again. Also, 2 days after the swabs were taken, my period started, first one since m/c 6 weeks ago so maybe it was the build up to that too, who knows! Thank you for your posts, Mumsent is such a big comfort blanket :)

Well, nearly 2 months on from my last post, the discharge continues and is getting me so down. Have seen a Gynaecologist after recurrent m/c blood tests and discussed it with him. He said it's not normal, but nothing to worry about...!!!! Makes no sense. He had a good look up there, took more swabs and said cervix and everything else looked and felt normal. Arrgghhh, am pulling my hair out with worry thinking I've got something awful. Up until trying for a baby last June, I had no problems down below. We are now seeing a private consultant for further m/c tests and I will discuss it with him to get a second opinion. Maybe it's my body changing at 41 and after the shock of 3 m/cs, Does anyone have an idea what it is? x

Thanks for posting this thread. I had a late miscarriage aon 20 Dec. I too find quite a bit of discharge.. yellowish... I also find brown-red discharge on the days I am more active. Will go to the gp next week. Tuesday will be four weeks since the event.

So sorry to hear of your loss womanlytales. Given your circumstances, I would think that your discharge is 'normal'; after my last m/c, I bled for nearly 3 weeks and that was with an early loss (8 weeks). It's awful not knowing what your body is doing, I saw a private Gynae today for a 2nd opinion and he doesn't have any answers either. I am looking at booking a scan now for my own piece of mind before we try one last time. Keep strong xx

Thank you rosepip - I am hanging in there.
