Very short bleed after mmc - now what?

[Pootiepie]

Yesterday a scan confirmed a missed miscarriage and I opted for medical management. I started bleeding about 3 hours after taking the tablets but it wasn’t very heavy and stopped after about 5 hours. Just wondering if anyone has had similar and what happened next. Could the bleeding start again or is it likely I’ll have to have another dose of tablets? Is there anything I can do to move it along?

I was 10+3 but measuring around 6 or 7. I’ve not even bled the amount of a normal period so seems very unlikely to be all released.

@Pootiepie hi I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m currently going through the same thing. MMC found at 9 weeks measuring at 8+1. I took medical management yesterday too bled for about 10 mins and 24 hours later absolutely nothing. Did you have any further treatment? Xx

@Sophj19 sorry to hear you’re going through this. I spoke to my EPU nurse and had to go back to hospital for a top up dose of misoprostol. The bleeding started again after that and continued for about 10 days (heavy for first few days then slowed a lot). Last blood test showed hcg at 77 so nurse is sure everything has now passed.
for you.

@Pootiepie thank you for replying, it’s such a horrible thing to go through. I’m glad your second dose worked for you, do you mind me asking if you look it orally or internally? I took my orally and think that could be why it didn’t work. I hope your recovering ♥️ Xx

@Sophj19 I took both doses orally (I’m not in the UK but the nurse didn’t recommend taking it internally).
I am more or less back to normal now after almost 3 weeks. I didn’t expect it to have such an impact on me physically, but I suppose everyone’s different. As you say, it’s a horrible thing to experience on so many levels. I think the best advice I kept getting was to allow it to take time,
to be kind and patient with myself and to rest as much as possible (luckily I was able to take time off work).
I hope things move on for you swiftly and you recover well. ❤️
