pelvic pain two weeks after miscarriage at 5 weeks

Hello ladies,

I have had a miscarriage at 5 weeks (at 5 weeks I naturally started bleeding) and in the same day went to the doctor and he said there was no more gestacional sac on my uterus, and despite that my uterus was looking ok. I was bleeding for nearly 7 days and it stopped. The doctor told me to go back only in september, or if I had any complication before that.

Now, 12 days after the miscarriage, I have been feeling a dull pain on my lower abdomen, specially when I press it or when I feel like i need to pee.

I have had relationtions two days ago and only when the bleeding completely stopped so I don't think this was the cause.

I heard it was possible to be the uterus shrinking back, but would it happen as I was only 5 weeks when I miscarried?

Is this anything I should worry about? The pain is not even moderate, it is just like - it is there, but I don't feel I need to go to see a doctor.

Is this normal after almost 2 weeks of miscarring?
What are your experience with that, girls?

Sorry for bothering you but this forum has been helping me a lot, specially because no one knew (except my hubby) that I was pregnant and I couldn't also share the pain/questions to anyone else.

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I had a miscarriage at about 7 weeks so my experience was a little different. I had pain afterwards and my doctor just sort of shooed me away with a Physical Therapy referral. I was annoyed at the time, but the PT did help. You body can go through a lot during MC and certain muscles can get kind of stressed out and have a hard time going back to relaxed state.

I’d recommend messaging or calling your doctor, rather than booking an appointment, just so it’s in their radar. They may ask you to give it a little more time before coming in, as your body is still healing.

How long was your cycle before? You can ovulate straight away after a miscarriage so some ppl have ovulated 2 weeks after mc

Could be that

Hi,

I had a medical miscarriage 2 weeks ago, I was 6 weeks, I am now just spotting but getting painful period cramps. GP said my uterus is probably irritated and prescribed prescription painkillers and told me it would settle in a few weeks.

I have had pain like that since an ectopic pregnancy - wasn't treated surgically so more like a miscarriage physiologically I think. It's been years. I told myself I would go to the doctor if it wasn't better in six months - actually it got worse around then. Physiotherapy helped a bit but hasn't solved it completely - tried both pelvic and more general.

I think I should have dealt with it sooner and I would advise you to do that - get any stress and strain in your body sorted out before it digs in. It's harder to make a fuss about mild pain but if it's not going away, look after yourself and get it treated. You only get one body. Don't wait too long. Sorry for your loss too
