TW Miscarriage photo - is this the sac or just blood clot?

missed miscarriage confirmed at scan. Gestational sac measuring approx 7 weeks (should have been over 8 weeks), enlarged yolk sac visable but fetal pole had been reabsorbed (had been there but no hb a week before). Took Mifepristone on Thursday, and the 4 misoprostal tablets today at around noon. Bleeding hasn’t been too bad, and minimal cramping (using cocodemol and extra strong ibuprofen) but at around 6pm I was sitting on the toilet and felt a sudden “plop” and out came this. I’m trying to get the gestational sac so I can bring it in for testing. Could this be it? Bleeding has eased up since it came out, and I’ve had no real cramps. But I know it can be very stop/start process and I could maybe even need another dose of tablets. I did ask chat gpt and it thinks just blood clot. I think I’m probably just wishful thinking it’s the sac, as I’d love it to be over, but feel it probably hasn’t actually properly started has it. Previous miscarriages have all had d&c so home management is very new to me.

Can’t see your photo OP but I had about 3-4 large clots at a similar gestation. My ‘heavy’ / ‘clot’ bleeding went on for about 12-16 hours, then spotting for 2 weeks. Will of course be different for everyone. Very sorry you are going through this, take care of yourself 💐

Thank you, it says it’s under review so hopefully will be approved 🤞🏻

so sorry for your loss. I do imagine it’s wishful thinking that i would get away with it coming out so quickly. I’m still bleeding, just doesn’t seem to be any more clots.

Unsure if mumsnet will approve this, but looked in the tub which I had collected the clot in last night and these two little jellyfish like circles are floating. They seem to have separated from the clot. I feel like this may be parts of the gestational sac as definitely not a blood clot.

Hello, I hope you don’t mind my asking but I just wondered if you found out in the end if the tissue collected was in fact the sac or something you could test? I am awaiting similar at home, nothing yet but I have never been able to catch it in previous MC so I’m not sure what to expect. Thank you x
