Period after RPOC

[MeganMama28]

Hi all,
I had medical management on the 20th May for a pregnancy that wasn't progressing (was 8 weeks and measuring 5). I had a scan a month later and they said there was a tiny bit of retained product of conception (RPOC) but that it was so small they wouldn't like to operate and feel confident it would come out with the next period.

I (think) I started my period on Friday. It was light but had all the other symptoms. Saturday it was a medium flow but no clots and something that looked like a mucus plug. It was pretty clear so don't think that was it coming out. Now it's Sunday and all period symptoms are gone and I'm just spotting.

I feel so upset as quite certain what needed to come out didn't. Any tips/similar experiences would be much appreciated. Just want this part to be over its awful.

@MeganMama28 can you contact your dr or EPU to see if you can have another scan?

Can you take a pg test and see if it’s still positive?

I had a mmc which I waited a few weeks to start mc, that ended up as an incomplete mc. Went back for a scan and it was 3cm, they said it was sizeable and that my body likely wouldn’t get rid of it by that point- it still had a blood supply and I was still bleeding. Two days before the surgery I passed a few pieces of tissue(or dried up blood clots). Measured at least 1cm each time. I wondered if my body was sorting it out and didn’t want to waste a surgery. Went back in for a last minute scan and the RPOC was still measuring the same size. No idea what I had passed, possibly a dried blood clot. It made me realise I have no idea what I was looking at.

There is a chance that if it was tiny it came away with your period flow? I have no idea though. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

hi what did the clots you passed end up being? i have a 3cm blood flow tisssue left iv passed 2 clots sinve yesterday i’m hoping it’s come out on it’s own! x
