Infection following miscarriage

Has anyone else had an infection after a miscarriage? I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks a few weeks ago and for the past 10 days have been bleeding again and had some cramping. Just went to the GP and after she did a (very painful!) examination she said I probably have an infection and gave me some antibiotics.

Other than the bleeding and cramps which are both fairly mild, I have no other symptoms but its still really worried me. Is this just something antibiotics should sort straight out, or can it potentially cause fertility problems later on??

I might so sorry for your loss. I don’t have experience of infection so far, although after medical management this week I am actually a lot more paranoid about infection this time round.
I’m really sorry that your GP didn’t take more care with your examination especially after all you have been through. Do you have an early pregnancy unit you can contact? I’ve luckily only had to have one dealing with my gp during my second miscarriage and it was no help whatsoever. Take care of yourself x
