Hi,

Just looking for a bit of advice. I started having a miscarriage (10 weeks) 24 days ago. Lots of bleeding, pain, large clots etc. Went for a scan Tues last week and there was still some retained product so was given misoprostol as a pessary. Nothing much happened for a couple of days then I had some bleeding over the weekend. Started getting just a small amount of watery, brownish blood at the beginning week. I thought that it was probably trailing off but it's still going on. Did anyone else have this for several days before it finally stopped? I've got a scan in a week to check everything's clear but I'm really fed up with seeing blood (no matter how little) every day after nearly a month. I'm finding it really hard to move on physically and emotionally with this going on. Sorry for all the info but would just like some advice from anyone who has been through similar. I find that there is generally so little clear info out there on what to expect.

Thanks.

I am awake and couldn't ignore although I've not been in your situation. I do understand how difficult it is to 'move on'. Sometimes it's just putting one foot in front of the other. Will be thinking of you x

I've had 5MCs and after the 3rd (14w 3d) bleeding lasted 7 Weeks. doctor said as long as things were "progressing" they wouldn't step in.

Jesus Jokers 7 weeks! I feel and look like death warmed up as it is.

I'm so sorry that you've been through so much. I don't know how you've found the strength to keep trying. This is my first and I'm finding it absolutely devastating. I'm also so fearful of it happening again if we're lucky enough to conceive again.

I did look pretty bad.....
I think that the idea of never having a child was worse than idea of another MC. So we kept trying, we're having a break now though.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I completely understand the sick of seeing blood thing - I bled for 12 weeks!! Turned out baby was still hanging on to mama, despite me feeling like I'd lost about half my weight in blood!! Take things easy and don't apologise for feeling crap, breaking down or crying at every little thing. I truly wish none of us ever have to experience this again xx
