Hi all, I'll try and keep this short as poss!
Found out I was pregnant at end of Sept, first pregnancy after ttc for over 4years.
Started to miscarry on 18th Oct. Confirmed by a scan 2 weeks later, then had another scan 2 weeks after that and sac had gone, but there was still fluid and tissue present, the EPU were happy they thought I would carry on to miscarry naturally so was told to leave it another 2 weeks. Bleeding had never actually stopped but did seem like it was tailing off so I didn't bother to ring them back.
Last week had awful cramps and more blood so thought af had finally arrived. Now a week on am still bleeding (af is never more than 5 days max!!) Last night managed to bleed through my clothing and had a huge clot/tissue passed. Rang emergency until and they said unless I'm bleeding through pads every half hour then to wait until this morning to call EPU.
I know I won't find any answers on her I guess I just needed someone to talk to, and wanted to see if anyone else had been through this and for someone to reassure me this will stop.....
Will call EPU when they open in 45mins!

So sorry to hear this.... I didn't want to leave you unanswered but I guess you will be through to EPAU now?

Is your pregnancy test still positive? It sound like you might have retained products..... Delightful turn of phrase (hopefully a scan will clarify it and it can all get sorted quickly)....

Oh you poor thing hope you get resolution this morning at the EPU. Sorry for your loss. Sometimes it is cruel to let this drag on so long imho .

Thank you for replying!! No I had a negative pregnancy test at my last scan 4 weeks ago. Spoke to EPU and they seem to think this is the last of it, and that it's just taken alot longer than expected. Got give it 48hrs and if the bleeding doesn't calm down will go for a scan on Saturday!! Unless the bleeding gets really bad again then may have to go sooner. Passed a rather large clot this morning so I'm hoping that may of been the last of it coming out. Fingers crossed!!! I've had enough of all this now!!
