Miscarriage?

I feel a bit silly posting here but I'm not getting much from my doctors as this wasn't "planned". I have for the past week/10 days spotted, cramped, bled heavily, then passed a fair amount of what I can only describe as fleshy and clotted tissue...pale, peachy, grey and quite thick. I have had miscarriage a couple of years ago (again unplanned I wasn't aware of it) so presumed it was the same. I went to the doctors and expressed my confusion as I could only have conceived either 3/4 weeks ago or as many as 17 weeks ago! I have not seen a sac or anything distinguishable. Last time the doctors said that I was 11 weeks but the that it had stopped developing at 7 (wih an ultrasound weeks after) . This time he wasn't worried as I am well in myself and had a negative preg test. He said that it could be from either occasion as the foetus can stop developing and not be expelled for up to 6 weeks...making me at least 11 weeks of Ithe was the first occasion? Can this be so? Would I not have noticed? I was very ill a few weeks after this may have happened....stomach cramps and vomiting....but this was diagnosed as IBS...if I'm honest that has subsided over the last few weeks. Is this all after little far fetched? I am also on the mini progesterone only pill whereby I have no breaks and no periods and have been for 10 years. Please any adevise would be greatly received

I dont have the answer im sorry but it could quite possibly be a MC ... its not unheard of to fall pregnant on the pill ... this is a presumption but maybe try another type of conception (the rod worked for me)

Pregnancies can go undetected for months so it wouldn't be something you would have necessarily of known about especially if you wasnt trying to get pregnant. I only new because i was looking out for any little symptom as we were trying but i know a couple who found out when she was 25 weeks and that was because she had a blood test for something unrelated!! i also know the owner of the local dry cleaner who went into a&e with terrible pains in her stomach and came out with a baby unaware!!

i think you should ask to be refered to the early pregnancy unit for an internal scan JUST incase it was/is a MC because if theres anything left it wil cause infection.

hjope your ok!!
