I had a mc at around 12 weeks on 1st Feb. My first period afterwards (about 5 weeks) was ok - fairly light. I was surprised about this as I was told that my womb lining was still very thick. I lost alot of blood at the time and got severely anaemic.
now I am on my second period and it has been really really heavy. I am now on about the 10th day of bleeding - have had some clots and blood loss is still fairly heavy today. I am starting to feel anaemic again (headaches, tired, cold, breathless). I spoke to EPU about this yesterday and they told me told me to test to see if I was pg again (I did and I'm not) but otherwise they thought it was probably ok, but I should phone back if it carried on. the problem is I am booked to go skiing tomorrow and am worried about the level of bleeding - at what stage should I be worried that I have an infection etc?
Can I go to a higher altitude if I am anaemic - is this safe?
I did have a couple of scans after the mc - one straight away, one 7 days later and was told that there weren't any retained products, but could this have been wrong?
Sorry for the long post, but don't want to go away if it is dangerous. Otoh would really like to get away and have a break.
