Im sorry for the length of this post but I wanted to fit in as much detail as possible. PLEASE READ and help if anyone can in any way :)
I recently had a miscarriage on March 17th, although I was booked in for an appointment the following Tuesday to take treatment for a termination, this still came as a bit of a shock to me. I miscarried at exactly 5 weeks, I know this as I had a scan the day before at the BPAS clinic that confirmed everything was okay and I was 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant. The miscarriage started off with light blood and gradually carried on to get heavier and more painful throughout the day, later that night I rang 111 and they confirmed they think I was having a miscarriage and basically told me to just let it happen and go to my appointment the next week. The next day the pains were almost unbearable so I visited A&E where they gave me codeine which helped a lot. Although the pain was quite intense the bleeding was not what I expected a miscarriage to be like, I did not pass many clots so I was a bit worried something else was happening, however the night before my appointment with the BPAS clinic I passed a tiny clot which I expect was the "sack". The next day at my appointment they did a scan and confirmed I had miscarried, however although I had passed the sack it was "incomplete" and I would still bleed and pass clots for the next few days however the main part had gone, they also gave me a follow up appointment in 2 weeks time and a special termination pregnancy test (I think it was low sensitivity) to take before the appointment. The bleeding carried on for a few days but it wasn't as heavy as expected then stopped on the 25th of march when I assumed it was all over. On the 5th of April (around 2 weeks after the miscarriage) I had my final appointment at BPAS. Before going I took the special pregnancy test and at first I thought the result showed negative, however after a few minutes there was 2 lines (positive) with one very very faint, which had happened with every other test I had taken whilst pregnant so this worried me. However at the appointment they took a test and it came out negative (I worry this was wrong and they didnt wait long enough as mine took a few minutes to show positive) so they sent me home and everything was fine. 2 days ago on the 13th of april (27 days after the start of my miscarriage and 20 days since the end of it) I started what I thought was a period. I heard that it was meant to start within 4-6 weeks of a miscarriage but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway yesterday I experienced rather strong cramping and a lot of blood when I was going to the toilet so I got an emergency appointment with my doctor for that day. The doctor told me although it was early he thinks it's a period as if it was still part of the miscarriage I wouldn't of stopped bleeding in between, however he did ask if I had passed clots and I said no because at this point I hadn't. However later on that day and until now I have been passing large clots with some pain, the clots seem to only come when I go to the toilet and they are dark and sink to the bottom of the toilet (sorry for the detail), I would go as far to say the clots are worse than when I miscarried a few weeks ago, however the pain is not awful, just some cramps. I'm worried that I am passing the rest of the miscarriage as I feel like I didn't pass much more after they told me it was incomplete, and the clots seem a lot more noticeable now than they did previously. It's bank holiday weekend so I don't think I can get a doctors appointment and I'm not sure I need one? The pain isnt bad and I don't have to be anywhere in the next few days so I can handle it I just feel like I kind of want to know whats happening, however feel a bit stupid going back to the doctors as they told me they think it's a period. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? I assume it may settle down now anyways as it has been quite heavy the past 2 days so I'm not sure there's anything the doctors could do at this point?
thank you :)
