Suspected miscarriage- bleeding for 11 days. When will it stop?

[Batmanmum]

I had a scan last Tuesday where I should have been 8+3 but I had spotting for five days before. Unsurprisingly my sac and baby was measuring 5+1 but with heartbeat. I knew it wouldn’t end well as I have had four pregnancies and only bleed in labour.

I go back on Thursday for a rescan however I have been bleeding for 11 days now. Not sure if I have passed the sac but I did pass a palm size clot this weekend. Don’t look too close but I’m sure it was just a clot. How long will I bleed for? I’m so wiped out. Not just emotionally but physically. I was struggling to catch my breath earlier carrying washing upstairs. I think my iron was low to start with.

I am hoping I won’t need surgery after the scan but I’m worried as why hasn’t the bleeding stopped? I don’t want to hassle gp as like I say I have a scan Thursday anyway. The more it drags on the more sad I get. I was very matter of fact last week, now I feel worse. Also only told dh and one friend so I am trying to carry on as normal while feeling so rough. Urgh!

I’m so sorry to hear this. I found myself that once I had passed a clot the size you described that the bleeding started to ease off. More like a light natural period. You may well find that your HCG numbers drop dramatically too. Are your bloods being monitored? X

I'm very sorry but it does sound like you have passed the sac. Palm sized sounds about right. I was 10 weeks when I miscarried in Feb 2017. I think I bleed for around a week to 10 days after that point allbeit much lighter. The horrendous pain also stopped after I passed the baby.

Sorry and sending hugs. Xxx

Thanks for the replies. I don’t think my bleeding has eased off after the clot. I guess I’m worried that not everything has come away hence still bleeding. It’s not massively heavy, but still bright red. It’s not been very heavy throughout ( unless you count the clot episode).

I might retake a pg test. If it gets lighter do you think the bleeding will ease off shortly? I am dreading finding out Thursday I still need surgery after all of this
