Hello ladies

I justed wanted some advice...

Last Friday I had a medically managed MMC. I justed wanted to know whether it was normal to feel physically better one day (like yesterday) but have cramp again today? Also somedays the bleeding is really light then today it is heavier again. the cramp is ok after a couple of Nurofen though. Really i was just wondering when the cramping might stop. any advice greatly appreciated. xx

So sorry for your loss

I think I had the odd cramp for a while after an ERPC, so although not the same thing, I think it is possible.

Just wanted to bump your post so hopefully someone else with experience will see it.

Hope the cramps and bleeding ease off soon, take care xx

Hello,

Sorry for your loss I had a medical miscarriage 5 weeks ago. Mine was a bit complicated as I didn't expel what I should have done so mine lingered on. Your symptoms are completely normal, I thought i had stopped bleeding, and started again, so it is up and down a bit. All you have to look out for is signs of infection such as a nasty odour, fever symptoms, or bleeding to excess - a pad an hour etc. I hope this helps, you just have to be very patient, and wait for your body to come back to normal. I hope this helps xxx

Thanks for the advice ladies, it's nice to know that I'm not alone. I'm sorry to hear about your losses. It really sucks to have a mc. I hope you're both feeling well and good luck for the future xxxx

hi there, so sorry for your loss,
i had medical management 2 weeks ago and have had the same experiences as you, bleeding going from light to heavy, no crams then they came back with avengance for a few days which the hospital said was my uterus going back to normal size.
i know it can be very frustrating and physicaly and emotionaly draining but im told it dose get easier . my bleeding is now like a normal period and has been like that for 3 days now, the cramps are almost none existant unlesst i bend down quick or carry anything heavy. other than still having sore boobs and keep getting migrains i would say my body is slowly on the mend (i hope)
do look out for signs of infection tho such as fever, smelly discharge, very heavy bleeding or vomiting and upset stomach. if you are unsure ask your G.P.
give your self time hun, take care x

Hi Jakey87, sorry to hear that you've been through the same - its totally awful and I wish nobody had to suffer with it. I will look out for any signs of infection. I've just been for a scan to check that everything is as it should be - was awful totally brought everything back. Take care xxx
