still bleeding 7 weeks after miscarriage... help!!

[shellbean]

Hi im 21 and started having my miscarriage on new years day. I didnt realise I was pregnant at the time so left it quite a while before goin doctors. Since then I have been given antibiotics for infection and tranexamic acid to help stop the bleeding but it just isn't working. I havent been offered a scan and I feel like my doctor doesn't care! Is it natural to bleed this long? I feel very confused in my mind tryin to deal with all this and the constant bleed is not helping.... Can anyone please help me!!???

So sorry you've had such a hard time, but glad you have your babies😍 What lovely words to read ❤ thank you I needed that 😊 @pannanypanoo

Hello all. I'm new here. My curiosity brought me in. Lol. I started bleeding on the 3rd of March 2018. When I got to the hospital two days later, the doc said it was a miscarriage. I had a D&E ( twice the same day). I bled lightly for two weeks, at the end of which a very heavy bleeding ensued. I passed clots, yet I was evacuated again that day for the third time in two weeks. Afterwards I was scanned and told my womb was cleaned out. It's been almost three weeks since after the third D&E, yet I'm still bleeding ( sometimes light and sometimes thick). This is really frustrating, but I'm relieved to hear from this platform that some persons take longer time to heal. It's better than thinking I might have some Gtd even though the doc confirmed I had none. Thank all for your testimonies. May God heal us all.

Hi, I am so sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing ok and the bleeding stops soon xx

Hi. I'm new on here and was reading this thread for some reassurance. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks on Jan 3rd. I bled heavily with clots on and off for 4 and a half weeks, stopped for a couple of days and then I believe started my period. I have been bleeding now for 10 days, although it seems to have calmed down a lot in the last 2 days and had nothing overnight last night for the first time in ages. The first scan confirmed the MC, and I was sent home to let it all happen naturally. When I was still bleeding at 4 and a half weeks, I phoned the EPU and they got me in for another scan the next day. The nurse found something retained, but after discussion with the doctor, she said she they weren't sure if it was retained tissue or a polyp and booked me in for a hysterscopy (not till end of March) to remove it either way. In the days that followed bled some big clots and I wondered if that was the retained tissue coming out. So I phoned EPU and went back for another scan. 2 nurses said I still had some retained tissue, but then afterwards, they went to speak to the doctor, the doctor decided it was a polyp. I was really frightened, but the nurse told me that this was the better outcome because the retained tissue can cause infection. She said they may leave the polyp in or take it out. She advised to keep my hysteroscopy procedure. She said several times that it was the better outcome and that it was nothing more serious. She was very reassuring. But, I am prone to anxiety (was managing it pretty well until this) and i am now freaking out. I keep questioning whether the doctors are right - what if its something worse. It's the indecision that did my head in. I feel sick all the time and I am not sleeping. I keep trying to rationalise it and think - I had three scans, anything bad would have been picked up and I'd have been sent off much sooner than the end of March. But then I think, are the doctors in the EPU trained to know about other possible problems? Would a TV scan show them? I realise I probably sound insane- I feel it. I have three beautiful children who I am trying very hard not to let this impact on. Has anyone else been through similar? Lengthy period after miscarriage with nausea, polyps or hysteroscopy? I feel so down. Thank you for reading.

Hi all, I’m also new here and I know this is quite an old thread but I also wanted to share my experience and if anyone has had similar or any suggestions. I had a mc almost 5 weeks ago at 6 weeks. I opted for medical management to complete. I passed huge clots in the days following (sorry if tmi) and had a slight fever so I was prescribed antibiotics incase of infection. The bleeding tapered off to a light bleed after about 1.5 weeks which just required a thin pantyliner. I thought this whole ordeal was over but suddenly, after 2 weeks I started heavy bleeding with clots again and it hasn’t stopped since - all in all, I have been bleeding for 4.5 weeks and it’s showing no signs of stopping. At the 3 week mark, my hcg test was showing as positive but a scan showed my uterus was empty. After 4 weeks, the test now is negative and I’ve also had a further scan to confirm everything has come out. So here I am, all empty, no hcg and no infection but consistently bleeding. This has really started to affect my mood :( I’m taking multivitamins with iron to help but I just want the bleeding to stop. Has anyone had anything similar? Thanks for reading x

Hello reeree24, how are things now? I am very sorry all this has happened, it’s awful isn’t it.

I had a incomplete mc, at 12weeks, around 28 Aug 19, (last month) was offered surgery in hospital but I’m into all things natural / Mother Nature so I discharged myself to managed it at home.
Each scan at this point, showed the babies body with no heart beat, and it was stuck not coming out. After a few days in the ward, the doctors said I had two weeks to release naturally at home, if it didn’t happen I’d have to have surgery. Next day I booked an reflexologist who was an Angel I am sure, to come to my home, and help me, I was heartbroken too. The reflexology definitely did it for me, over next few days I expelled the little body, and sac and everything, not in one go though, over 5 days or so. I wasn’t prepared for how traumatic this would then be, as I thought the worst of it was the initial horror. It really shows how strong we are to endure what we do, and still go on.

Anyway, i have bleed heavily everyday since then, so this will be 4 weeks, of bleeding every day, sometimes it’s fresh or dark coloured, like a continuous slow dripping tap. Just on. And now my period has started today too. And it’s very heavy clotted and sore.

What has helped me is, spatone, taking folic acid, eating lots of fruit veg, whole foods, plus herbal support, I went to a herbalist who gave me yarrow, mugwort and rose.

So even though I am still bleeding, the shock has dissipated, and the raw feeling of not wanting to exist, my shame has softened, and nightmares has stopped. Anxiety has crept up a bit, so I restarted meditating and gentle yoga, I’m sleeping ok again and getting energy back.

I’m saying all this too incase someone else needs help on what to do when your still bleeding, as there is not that much out there.

I am thankful for this thread. And I hope you are doing a little better now. Well as best as you can be.

Lots of well wishes and love. And too anyone else reading this who may be experiencing the same thing; much love to you and your healing process.

We beautiful woman are so strong it is in our nature, our birth right, and when we share it : it makes us get through better : I’m so grateful to know others are out there too Xxx
