Hi everyone, this is my first post so hope I'm doing this right! I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks around 5 / 6 weeks ago. Most physically and emotionally painful experience of my life and happened during an extremely busy time at work, I realise now that didn't take the time that my body needed to recover. I took a week off work when the main part of the mc was happening then went back and got on with preparing for a big event (which just happened last Sunday). I had a scan 2.5 weeks ago and they said there was some blood left but nothing else to come out. Did a pregnancy test and still showed I was pregnant so they told me to do another one in a couple of weeks and call back if still pregnant. The doctor said that first period after a mc usually happens 4-6 weeks after pregnancy hormone drops to zero. Started having cramping pains 1.5 weeks ago and bleeding started on the weekend, nothing unmanageable until Monday morning when the pain and bleeding became much stronger. (Think my adrenaline had been keeping this at bay until the event was done and dusted - isn't the body incredible?!) Have now been bleeding heavily for three days and can't work out if this is a period or the remains of the miscarriage that showed in the scan... I spoke to the EPGU on Monday and they were fairly non-committal, pregnancy test now negative and they said as long as not soaking a pad every 15 minutes I should just ride it out. Feel pretty weak from losing this blood but not out of control. I just wondered if anybody else has had this pattern and any thoughts on whether its period or miscarriage remains? Thanks for listening x
