Medical management MMC

Hi ladies, I have had a MMC and chose the medical management route. I had an early scan which showed a strong heartbeat and measured 8 weeks, i went for another scan when i should then of been 11 weeks 6 days but no heart beat and baby meausred 10 weeks 3 days. I chose medical management as I could start that sooner than when they could fit me in for the op and couldn't bare the thought of it happening naturally at home inbetween . I was in hospital over night and had 3 x lots of medication. I bled heavily after the 3rd dose and passed a lot of large clots however the nurse advised none looked like pregnancy tissue. I was examined by a Dr who advised he couldnt see anything and sent me home as I have had the maximum dose they can give me but advised it could take upto a week to pass. Other than a few hours of heavy bleeding I havent bled at all since leaving the hospital 3 days ago. Is this normal does anyone know? I've read that people can bleed for weeks. I feel like nothing is going to happen but imagine they won't re check me until its been at least a week. I cant even begin to think about moving on until i know its passed. Im stuck in limbo and to scared to leave the house incase it comes on suddenly.

It sounds as if everything has gone. I bled massively but I caught the sac and cord on toilet paper. The bleeding stopped for good almost immediately.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had medical management yesterday after a mmc. Mine happened straight away and I passed the pregnancy sac with in 5 hours not much bleeding throughout just lots of clots. My bleeding and pain stopped immediately. If you are worried definitely give the early pregnancy unit a call. I did this morning and they said no bleeding can happen too and can be quite normal x

Thanks both. I have called the hospital and they have advised if no more bleeding to call them Friday and they will likely arrange a scan to check. Im hoping i did pass it and I will be fine. I just want to be try and move on, book some time away and hopefully TTC again

Update for anyone who might read this. I had a scan yesterday and baby is still there so medical management did not work for me. Booked in for the operation on Thursday which feels like a lifetime away Sad.

@krj2608 thank you. Thankfully it seemed to go OK and I was let out the same day. Just hoping my body will get back to normal soon so i can start TTC again.
