Cramps after a mmc/mc

[daisytaylor]

Hi ladies
Some of you know my situation but for those who don't i had a mmc on 9th oct. I was 9 weeks but told baby stopped growing at 5 to 6 weeks. After weeks of heavy bleeding and clots and then being given misoprostal which did work and i finaly had a complete miscarriage after 10 weeks of on and off heavy bleeds. I had my last scan on 18th dec and was given the all clear but over the last week i have been getting some cramps that have been rather painful. I stopped bleeding around 15th dec. This isn't my first mc as i have had 4 now but don't remember having these pains before. The only thing i can think of is the medication they gave me but that was a few weeks back now. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi. I don't really have an answer but i'm sort of experiencing the same. I stopped bleeding around th 16 Dec (after bleeding for 5 weeks after erpc because of mmc discovered at 13 weeks). A week before I stopped bleeding I had very heavy bleeding for a week, Only spotting bfore that)so Dr said this could have been a period (eventhogh some say you must be completly blood free for some weeks bf period. Yesterday I started cramping and had some brown discharge with a tiny clot. The same today but not much discharge only really cramps. Don't now quite what to think. As I could be pregnant again. Does anyone know how soon pregnancies show up on tests? Sorry to jump in on your thread Daisy but I thought if I write too someone else might see it. Daisy- could this be because your perid is due or could you be prgnant again?

Hi jenny thanks for your reply, i'm pretty sure that i'm not pregnant so i guess i could be getting my period soon. If you think you maybe pregnant i would do a test 2 weeks after you think you may of concieved. But i know it depends on when it implants in your womb. Hope this helps you and fingers and toes crossed for a healthy pregnancy for you.

Thanks Daisy. I hope you feel better soon and that the cramps go away.I still don't know what is going on with me.

Hi jenny have you tried a test yet? Do you think you are. Maybe do the test and see what it says then go to your gp. Maybe they will scan you and see whats happening.

Hi Daisy. Was going to do a test as only had a slight discharge with the cramps. But today I started bleeding and have period pains. So I think this is my period. The bleeding I had some weeks ago could have been a period too but as I had bled constanly since the erpc I guess maybe it wasn't and this is now it. Im not upset about it as I prefered to have had a period before falling pregnant again. But I must say that the bleeding and the cramps is a bit of a reminder of the miscarriage. Suddenly felt a bit hard again. Especially as hubby has now said he is not sure he want's more children. This one wasn't planned. Already have 7 year old twins. But losing this one has somehow made me want another one evenmore. I know that if that is what i really want my hubby will say it's ok but it would be nicer if we both wanted it. Sorry to go on just felt I had to say it to someone. Thanks for your replies.

Sorry so busy thinking about myself I forgot to ask how your pain is?
