Hi I wondered if anyone else had been through this awful experience? I had a mmc at my 12 week scan on 7th June, I was told baby had stopped growing at around 9 weeks. I opted for an ERPC which was carried out the following day. Since then I have been to A&E twice with severe bleeding & headaches. I had 2 ultrasounds which showed lots of clots but they said were not of concern as not retained products. After the 2nd ultrasound they told me it was more than likely just my hormones causing the bleeding and in time will return to normal. I was given numerous pills to try and stop the pain & bleeding including naproxen, tranexamic acid, mefenamic acid, norethisterone. None of these had any effect. My pregnancy test was still showing as possitive up until 5 days ago as well but noone seemed concerned by this. HCG levels were also never checked during this time. I had had enough of the bleeding as it wasnt getting any lighter & I started to get really angry and felt I was just being fobbed off with pills, so I returned to my GP 2 days ago who got me an appointment that same day with a gynaecologist at the hospital. Two of them rescanned me and I was told there was retained products and that is why I had continued to bleed. I couldnt believe it!! Anyway that same day they gave me a 2nd ERPC and the surgeon saw me after & said everything was out. I know it has been only 48 hours ago since the procedure but the bleeding is very heavy with clots.. sorry tmi. I dont know if this is normal or not after a 2nd ERPC. I am so fed up & feel drained of this bleeding for nearly 6 weeks now and I cant remember what it feels like not to be!!
Sorry to ramble on & some of this may not make sense but I am so cross I have had to go through this again. Will it ever end??!
Two of my friends have had this procedure and one bled for only 3 days after and the other a week why is this happening to me??!
Please if anyone has been through this let me know as I cant take much more! X
