Pain following surgical management of miscarriage (ERPC)?

Hi all,

I had an ERPC 3 days ago for an early anembryonic pregnancy. I've maybe overdone it slightly since then (thanks to having a toddler), but generally I was feeling okay apart from a weird stitch-like pain above my hip/lower back yesterday, which bothered me enough to take paracetamol, but then went away.

Today, though, I've had pain in my lower abdomen on the left side. It is identical to the ovulation pain I have. If my pregnancy tests weren't still blazing positives I'd say I was ovulating. I also have a bit of leg pain (same side), which happens when I ovulate sometimes too.

Is this normal following ERPC or should I be concerned?

No heavy bleeding, smelly discharge, or fever, and apart from being knackered I otherwise feel fine. Just thinking if I should call 111 now rather than wait and risk leaving it to NYE (if it worsens), which I expect will be busy.

Thanks!
