Sorry about your miscarriage away. What a sad time. When I had an erpc last year I also bled as you have - after a while it slowed down but carried on after I had an active day. Take it easy for a few days if you can.

What a tough start to the New Year, sorry
If it continues or becomes fresh the. I'd worry, but bleeding for 2 weeks is considered normal.
If in doubt phone, you won't be the only one today! I spent too long on the ward in the bed nearest the nurses station and the phone was hot with ladies asking the same thing.

I had an erpc last Thu and the bleeding has been very stop/start which I think is usual. It seems to stop long enough for me to think that's it then I'll get some more, lovely.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm not taking any chances with this, the minute I've got even a tiny inkling something is wrong I'll be off to the gp, better for us and them as an infection caught early is much easier to treat than something that's been left. Good luck

Hi away sorry for your loss. Exactly the same here, ERPC on the 5th jan, light bleeding till Tuesday. Then we had sex last night ( I know we should have waited really). Today have had very light spotting, dark blood. I'm hoping that it's just old stuff that was hanging around in my cervix that has been loosened by activity and semen ( sorry if TMI).

hi bonzo sorry for your loss too well had my scan and there is still something there so got to go back monday to be scaned by a doctor the lady who scanned me didnt seem that worried and said they might just monitor me instead of doing another op

Sorry to hear its not all sorted. I needed a second ERCP and felt sooooo much better after, don't be afraid to push for what you need. I almost did a sit in. PALS helped me get treatment I needed

bonzo77 · 15/01/2012 15:01

I'm not going back about the spotting. I'm in no pain and have no temperature so I can't imagine i would be given anything other than reassurance.

AwayWithTheFaries · 16/01/2012 16:27

afternoon how are we all? had another scan this morning and all is well just got to phone up Friday if im still bleeding
bonzo if you still keep bleeding please get checked as they thought there might be something left even if it is just for reassurance x
