I miscarried on the 11th of november... Baby passed naturally on friday the 15th...

Obviously i expect to still bleed etc for potentially another week or two, but has anyone experienced a really really painful pain down below in the groin area? Its so sore to even sneeze or cough...

I am still bleeding quite heavily and today receiving more small clots which i haven't had since Saturday!

How long can you bleed for after? i want to start counting the weeks for my next period so we can hopefully try again... But i'm soo scared right now Confused

I've normally bled for 10-14 days, and got my period about 5 weeks after the MC ( counting from the start).
Have you had any follow up, June ? You would normally have a scan at EPU to ensure the MC is complete, particularly if you are still having pain. The bleeding is often a bit stop start, so clots days after you thought it had settled wouldn't particularly worry me, but my experience is the bleeding tailed off to period proportions once the sac had passed and then settled down to light bleeding after a few days that carried on for maybe a week.

Phone EPU if you don't have a scan booked and get them to check you out.

I had a lot of stabbing ? Cervical pain. Still best to get checked out. Lots of love

Im so sorry you are going through this Sad
I was told to do hpt after 2 weeks to confirm complete rather than scan. This is likely to be as good at confirming everything has passed.
I bled with substantial pain for 1.5 weeks, normal period for 1/2 a week. Had complications at 2 weeks due to retained products so more bleeding again but overall bled for 3.5 weeks and still had next period after 5 weeks (normally 23 day cycle).
I think it makes a difference how far along you were too- the further you were, the more painful and gory you can expect the mc to be.

Yeah it's like a stabbing pain, really uncomfortable.
I was told by epu to keep in touch if anything irregular after 2-3 weeks.

I will take a hpt next week i think.

Just had a nice hot bubble bath about an hour ago, put a pad on but no blood so looking like its quieten down now, but still have that awkward pain... i have felt this before when i had a normal period before so may just be body adjusting and cervix getting back to normal.. ?? Not sure..

So the bleeding stops completely then a period may come within sort of 4-5 weeks?

Thanks Kat for your response.

I haven't had any bleeding for around 6-7 days now. My partner and i had sex last night and started bleeding again today.... Is this normal? anyone else experienced this? No pain though just really red blood no clots either.

I'm worried as well as we never used any contraception.... I don't want to fall pregnant again now as not had first cycle yet and go through potentially another mc!! :(
