Hi,
This is my 2nd consecutive miscarriage, the first at 11w6d started spotting, then period-like bleeding, then went to ER, they gave me the pill to miscarry, but had to have a D&C anyway, then I bled with not much pain for a week or 10 days and then it was over. This was a year and some months ago. This time it seems more like a blighted ovum situation. I was supposed to be 8 weeks along. 1st u/s just thick lining, a week after, 2nd u/s Dr. saw sac but no baby but told me not to worry as I might just be too early, 3 weeks later 3rd u/s irregular sac and a not developed fetus (to be honest I don't think it even got to the fetus status). Forgot to say this is happening after I delivered two girls both via C-Section, one is 6 and the other 4, I'm also 40 years old. So I chose to try and miscarry naturally. The day after the last u/s (Tuesday) I started spotting and it became a period-like bleeding with no pain the day after (Wednesday). Last night (Saturday) I had some cramping but nothing really serious, though I mentioned to my husband that this hasn't happened since I started spotting. Slept well through the night but in the morning I woke up with a start (probably had a cramp), TMI (too much information) ALERT: I started walking to the bathroom and midway I started to bleed down my legs and on the floor, sat down at the toilet, my pad was soaked and a second later I felt a big blob coming out, was about the size of an integral cookie (I know, what the hell it would be the first thing that comes to my mind foot-in-mouth --- and then much more serious cramping and pain begun, I took 1g paracetamol but didn't help (luckily the Dr. prescribed something stronger for the pain - Tramadol 50mg - for when I start miscarrying, my husband just went to get it ). It all started a bit before 9am. Now it's 11:40am and I have to come to the bathroom every 5-7 minutes or so to pass another big clot. When not passing the clots I'm bleeding like a heavy period, but still have the same pad since the morning (changing it now), but I do bleed a lot every time I'm on the toilet. Does anyone know how long this "clot-passing-every-5-minutes" situation last? Much love to all of us going through this now (and to those who already went through it too) xx
UPDATE: The "clot-passing-every-5-minutes" situation has stopped for now, it lasted 3.5 hours total. Now heavy period and cramps, less pain because the pain killer I took is working more or less.
