4 weeks and still bleeding

[bb99]

Well title says it all...

4 weeks after medically managed LMMC (18+5 but that was at delivery, stopped a bit before that) I am still bleeding, despite anti-biotics that would kill knock out a horse and good care. Now looking forward to a scan sometime in the next few weeks.

Fed up and bored with it all now Got the funeral soon too...

All I want is a period ffs - too much to ask? And to get my body back from this mc. Never lasted this long last time.

Passing small stringy bits too... Sorry TMI

Anyone else had ishoos like this? Really want to avoid an ERPC as just don't want to dose up on artificial hormones again as almost got to the max dose a month ago to get things moving!

Hi bb99 so so sorry to hear of your loss. Must be awful at that stage of pregnancy. I was diagnosed with a mmc on 9th of october. I was just over 9 weeks and i bled for 3 to 4 weeks and then had spotting for another 3 weeks. I still had some left inside my womb and was given medication last tuesday and i am now bleeding really heaving with lots of clots. After nearly 7 to 8 weeks of this i too have had enough and just want my body back to normal. I have no idea how long your bleeding will go on for but i just wanted to send my support. I have been avoiding erpc too and i am still hoping that i won't need one. When will you be having your next scan? Is the bleeding heavy or getting lighter. Everyone is different i guess, even after having my children i bled for 4 to 5 weeks. Hope this is of some help to you. All the best x

Thanks Daisytaylor, sorry for your loss too and thanks for the reply.

Still like a period and fresh looking IYSWIM and very stop/starty which makes me think there's something floating around that isn't coming out...

Realise I am a complete dolt - only bleeding for 3 weeks, it's 4 weeks since I found out our wee man had passed! But it's still so fresh looking - it has always trailed off by now before even after dcs were born. Must be getting past it this

Only bled for a couple of weeks with birth of my dcs and the other mcs and then period after 6 weeks. BUT I was stuffed full of prostogladins (?) this time around and that has never had to happen before, so maybe poor old bod is still just in shock.

Looking forward to getting back to normal - whatever that is and want my poor old bod back!

Don't know when the scan is - got faxed to hosp last Fri and have had retained products before. It's a joy!

Someone said to me recently (thank you lovely person) in RL that it doesn't really matter when the loss is, the scars on your heart are the same. I think that's true - still hurts when ever it happens.

Hope ur ok and get your bod back soon too!

xx

bb99 i am amazed at how okay you sound given what you've been through. i think three weeks of bleeding sounds pretty normal following such a late miscarriage though i'm not a dr. but there are people on these boards like daisy who have weeks and weeks of bleeding for miscarriages at a much earlier stage. i am not surprised you feel totally fed up and hope you have a lot of support in place for the weeks ahead.

kissmummy - am having on and off days, ups and downs. Just trying not to completely lose the plot like I did first lmmc - spent what seemed like 2 weeks in bed then the next 2 years raging at the world . Inflicted a lot of damage on myself and others, including an existing dc, so am trying not to do the same.

Am also getting a LOT of support from family, friends and my own God Squad which helps me, but is not everyone's idea of good fun.

Might crash big time any day soon, so watch this space - see what shape I'm in over Xmas and after funeral next week

My Minister is a very enlightened woman and I am still cared for by a single community m/wife - it helps, they know what's going on so don't have to keep telling people my story (unless I want to drivel on...)

Going to bed for my bi-daily (every other) cry now, so the greiving continues....but I do know that time doesn't take away the pain, but it does make it bearable, then you can think of the extraordinary thing your body DID achieve, instead of the unbelievable loss you feel.

Oh Miscarriage Association helps too...
