First period after miscarriage

Hi, I suffered with a miscarriage in my first ever pregnancy. I was about 5 weeks when it stopped growing. I had about 3 weeks of bleeding, sometimes it was light and other times it was a horror show/blood baths with many clots and tissue. When I had one of these it would be uncontrollable with the amount of blood that came out (like a gush) and no amount of pads would help. I had a scan after 3 weeks and it showed everything had cleared except some blood and clots which came out over next few days. I had about a week or so of nothing and then got my period. My period started with bloody discharge and very light flow maybe on day 3, back to bloody discharge on 4 but since day 5 I’ve had the same bleeding as miscarriage - sometimes fine for hours or most of the day. Then gushed and blood clots… I don’t feel safe leaving the house with this because when it’s bad it’s bad. Please can someone help me with what’s going on?

I have been told yesterday I have had a silent miscarriage, I chose the option of tablets I had one oral one at hospital and they said in 48 hours insert them through the vagina
This morning I ran to the toilet and passed this (picture attached )
Is this the sac ?

Hi ladies, how are you all getting on?

I had my first period 5 weeks after my surgery to remove miscarriage, this was bright red blood for 4 days then nothing. Had a scan a day later and still 1.5cm product is still there? I started with very very dark brown thick bleeding 2 days after my period and it’s still ongoing 5 days later! I’m getting bad abdominal and ovary pain and lower back pain now too?

has anyone experienced this? Thanks :)

Hey everyone. Never thought I would be writing this. 4 weeks ago me and my husband went for our 12 week scan. To be told there was no heartbeat.
i took medical management at home. I later passed my baby . I have since had an ultrasound which confirmed the complete miscarriage and the lining was looking “fine”.
4 weeks later I am still bleeding. I’m assuming it’s now my period but all today there’s just been spotting and then it’s like a plug has been pulled out and I’m flowing again. Has anyone else had this? And when will this all end?
