Can someone help me?

[Marmaladecat1]

I have just started bleeding I'm 17dpo
Had 2 positive tests
This morning symptoms have gone and brown bleeding started.
Now it's red bleeding.
It's only when I go to the loo.
I feel I just want to sit on the loo?
I also feel like I need a poo but can't, TMI.

I am also a sobbing mess and I cannot think.

What actually happens now?
Just a period?
Do I just get up and go to work tomorrow like normal?
Do I need to tell GP?

Hello, me again.
It's been hard to come back as this has hit me quite hard.
I wondered if anyone could advise about bleeding?
(Obviously I know I should get professional advice if needed etc) I'm on day 6 of bleeding, it's comes and goes. When will it just go?
It's hard to move on whilst still bleeding I'm finding. It's just a constant reminder :(
My last period was about 10 days long but I've always had 7 day periods ish.

Advice welcome.

Ps, when will I stop feeling such a mess?

Hi.
A short post cos I've just got back from holiday.
Pls speak to miscarriage association, they r wonderful.
The bleeding is physically and emotionally tiring.
Big hug.

I'd expect bleeding to last 1-2 weeks and it's often a bit stop-start, becoming heavier if you are more active.
It's still very early days for you, don't put yourself under too much pressure to move on. Until you have a MC you don't understand how hard the loss can hit you, quite apart from physical unpleasantness and the hormonal upheaval. You will feel ok again, but if you suppress the negative feelings they will resurface to bite you at some point. It's ok to need to wallow and be sad for a while, and you'll probably find you have bad days wrt the MC for quite a while, even when you are generally feeling much more positive. Over time they become bad moments.
Someone on the board shared an analogy which has stuck with me that initially a MC is a millstone around your neck. Over time as you acknowledge and let go of negative emotions, honour the memory of your baby, take positive steps for the future, the stone gets gradually rubbed away, until it's a pebble you can slip into your pocket, something you'll always carry with you, perhaps you'll take it out now and again and remember, but no longer weighing you down.

Hi baking, I totally agree with your post, all of it.
