Is there a “normal”?

Hi - very early miscarriage here. Think it was an empty sac. Found out at seven weeks. Have been bleeding like a heavy-ish period for the past four days and still getting cramps etc. It’s manageable but I am not sure if it should be over by now? Have never had a natural miscarriage before and it’s hard - want to go to sleep wake up and have it be over but know this is the right option when it is so early. Just don’t know if it should be complete by now given how early on it was??? Thanks in advance xx

Hi OP, I'm so sorry for your loss. I miscarried at 6+2 in March, I bled for about 10 days and I was told by my GP to take a pregnancy test after two weeks to check for retained product and it was negative.

How are you feeling? Thanks

@showmethegin thank you - I will do a test when I hit two weeks and let doctor know I am still bleeding if I hit two weeks - she said it would be like a bad period and I think that would tie with how long yours went on for.

I am ok - I had another miscarriage in April so it all feels a bit much at the moment. But I think that when the bleeding stops I will be able to feel a bit more positive and think about the future rather than dwelling on the losses. Thanks so much for answering xx

It's really hard isn't it, I had another one 3 weeks ago and am currently waiting for testing but it's really difficult. You never think it something that will happen to you.
Thanks

Hi @Ranoutofgoodnames Yeah I'm ok. Comes in waves really. To be honest I'm just tired of the whole thing. I want a baby so much and it just seems so easy for other people. Everywhere I look it's just pregnant people.

How are you doing lovely?

That's how I feel. How can this be so easy for some people and so hard for me? I am absolutely crushed.
