Hospitalised for miscarriage, hemorrhage, serious confusion?

Long story short; ivf fet, positive, low betas, stopped growing at 5 weeks, waiting around weeks to get scans to confirm miscarriage and now surgical management confirmed this coming Friday. Now at 10 weeks with bleeding beginning one week ago.

yesterday bleeding got so bad I collapsed and hit my head, blue lighted to a&e, low blood pressure and dropping etc so was put on drips and a clotting drug to slow bleeding. Scan showed sac still there. They tried to rush me through for the surgery but they decided waiting around nil by mouth for days possibly would be more stressful. So I’m home and still on the meds for clotting.

so can anyone help me with this, why can you lose so much blood during a miscarriage that causes you to hemorrhage? They told me it’s the lining etc but doesn’t that mean it’s sectioned off from the rest of your blood supply? I don’t get it. Does this mean there is some kind of open wound?

I’m also now so scared of having the surgery incase it makes the bleeding worse. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced these thoughts but I’ve had such bad luck with it all that I keep thinking I might die or something terrible happen during the surgery. I’m honestly done trying to have another child after all this it’s been the worst experience ever and taught me it’s not worth it 😓

Unfortunately I had torrential bleeding I think due to being on aspirin, clexane, hormone medications as recommended by the reoccurring miscarriage clinic.
this treatment just made my miscarriage last longer and be heavier and very very painful.
I did end up in hospital on gas & air, morphine and was just haemorrhaging horrendously.

The whole experience was a complete shit show beginning to end.
I wish I had the surgery. Done in 30 minutes, recovery quick.
Took me weeks to physically recover.

Hi @ColinRobinsonsfamiliar i was on those meds too but I stopped them when they confirmed pregnancy wasn’t progressing. Do you think this could be why I’m bleeding so much? I’m booked in on Friday to remove the sac and hopefully the rest of the blood and clots that are never ending. I can’t wait for it (something I thought I would never say!)

It’s so awful op. It is.
After stopping the drugs, I just carried on bleeding for weeks until it got much much worse.

We are all different. For me, I needed to know that it was going to happen without intervention as I huge guilt feelings (nonsense really) and had convinced myself that I had done something to cause it. As a result it did go on for many many weeks.
It was by far the worst of all of my miscarriages and the only one with medications. So I put 2 & 2 together.

Any way, went on to have a wee miracle without any help, totally out of the blue and unexpectedly so don’t lose hope x
