What to expect

Hi ladies! I had an erpc on the 27th nov for a missed miscarriage. I bled for a few days and had brown gunk (sorry tmi!) like the end of a period for a few days, which has all stopped now, I’m also in no pain or discomfort. The doctor told me to test 3 weeks after the procedure and ring them if it as positive. I took a test last Monday just to see and it was still obviously positive, so I highly doubt it would have turned negative or got a bit fainter by tomorrow. What I was wondering is are there actually any symptoms of retained tissue? I know I’m not a doctor but I would of thought that there’d still be bleeding or pain if there was still something to come out?! Confused and if there is retained tissue is it likely to be flushed out with my next period? I’m getting a bit stressed about the whole thing not being over yet so I’d just like some sort of idea about what to expect. Sorry for the ramble! Thanks for any advice Smile x

Hi Emily. Sorry about your miscarriage. I know I was still getting a strong positive 2 weeks after my ERPC's. And by 3 weeks it was just an absolute squinter of a line. So maybe worth testing again? I have no experience of retained tissue so can't help you there.
