hiya, this is a mega af, dont really have belly ache, but this is a very heavy period. bleeding after erpc was like a normal period, so am i having a good clearout now? it is similar to when i mc naturally at 7wks, im losing lots of clots, not large, but big enough i can feel them passing (sorry tmi). its making me feel sick as it puts me in mind of my mc. thank you in advance for any info.

I recall having a very heavy period the first time after my MC ,then a couple of ones after that were quite light oddly enough.
Of course if you are really worried contact nhs direct for a quick word to put your mind at rest.

HTH.

it's probably normal. I remember my first period following a miscarraige was very heavy. If you feel ill at all, faint, sick, or have a temperature, then you need to contact a doctor.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Rest and look after yourself.

Hi my first period after my 1st m/c was extremely heavy but I had 2 infections from the erpc so I wasnt sure it this was normal, my 2nd after med management wasnt so heavy. If you experience lots of cramps and thick blood then get it checked out, good luck and sorry you are going thru this xx

hi like you I did not bleed much after the surgery but 6 weeks later I went to the toilet and noticed the blood when I wiped I got up to get a pad and blood streamed down my legs, for the first 2hrs I bled so much that I changed pads about 6 times
I got seriously worried and called the hospital but after the initial flood it all calmed down and became a heavy period

was glad not to be alone when it happened I can tell you, all since have been quite normal

thanks for all your advice, af is very calm now and nearly finished, i just think it was a good clearout, quite scary at the time though. thanks girls
