So me and my boyfriend had sex(I know it's not recommended by doctors) yesterday and a clot came out and so we agreed to stop having sex and I've been bleeding heavier than usual and have very slight cramping and it's kinda gotten me worried because today the blood looks more red than it did yesterday and I've been to the bathroom and The blood slightly smells almost like my period. It's definitely not foul smelling but I just don't know

Miscarried on February 25 I was supposed to be 10 weeks in a couple days before then it was a missed miscarriage and the baby stopped growing around 8 weeks

Here's some additional information

I haven't been for a follow up yet it planning on it soon

And they didn't confirm if I passed all the tissue out, haven't really seen any besides just blood, has been a couple small clots a couple times but that's it

Tou should really go and get checked out, you could have some retained tissue still. If there is a funny smell that could be sign of Infection.

Had the bleeding stopped when you had sex? I know the bleeding can stop and start for a little while. But I would definitely speak to the EPU explain your symptoms and they will probably want you to come in for a scan.
I hope your doing ok today and really sorry for your loss xx

@Snoopy28x hey I did end up going to the ER because I was bleeding very very heavily nonstop for a hour plus and had severe cramping I'm pretty sure I soaked up two large pads in less than an hour or so and I had two tennis ball size clots come out of me and I got a scan done and he said there is still a little bit of tissue in there but it should come out in the next couple of days and then after all of that I had another clot come out, wasn't as big as the other two. I'm pretty sure I'm almost entirely empty. Bleeding has slowed down to a period like flow

I'm sorry for your loss xx glad you went to get checked out. As hard as it is, it's good to know that you've passed most of it now. I hope you recover physically quickly. Mentally takes longer.

Be kind to yourself and rest up xx
