Retained products - bleeding

hey all.

Just having a little moan/brain dump. I had an MVA just over 3 weeks ago. I it was horrible but ok really, had a small amount of bleeding after, for maybe a week. Nothing since then. I've still been getting faintly positive pregnancy tests but otherwise was feeling fine. Got up this morning, felt great. Then, a couple of hours after I got up, I stood up from the sofa and thought I'd wet myself, ran to the bathroom to find blood, as I sat down loads of massive clots came out.

I've been back to epu and they've found retained products but now, because I'm bleeding they're leaving me a week to rescan me and if it's still there they'll give me an erpc.

It's so annoying. This has now been ongoing for like 8 weeks (that was when my first dodgy scan was). I'm fed up with it.

I've just got home from an erpc following a failed medical management of miscarriage (mmc). I am also frustrated, felt like I lost a month of my life wasted waiting for negative pregnancy test. Wish I had erpc first off! I hope things work out for you and you can move on soon. I'm sorry you had to experience this. FWIW if you do end up with erpc it was easy and painless.

Thank you! Do you feel ok now? I feel the same, just fed up. My life is running away with me while I wait!

I feel much better, I felt I had started to recover emotionally and was being held up physically by the failure of the medical management. It felt like one thing went wrong after another, first the baby dying and that devastation, then the medical management was utterly terrifying, and then when I expected a negative test and to be able to think about ttc I had that taken away from me... I think you just have to give yourself time to find peace. You will get there.

And really a few weeks is not long out of a life if you think about it. Although I would have punched anyone in the face who said that to me even a few days ago!

Hi ladies, just wondered how you are both doing now? I'm in exactly the same boat as MrsMatt and am also very fed up! Wondering if you can give me some hope being a few weeks ahead of me? Thanks!
