Hi, I had a missed mc week before Christmas at 11 weeks. I opted for medical treatment, no scan was done after it but I was assured that 'everything had passed out.' Since then I bled every day for 6 weeks - just light. Two weeks ago whilst out jogging had a strange sensation and when I got home had heavy bleeding - red, with a big lump of tissue that passed out. GP advised it might be RPOC and started me on antibiotics and urgent scan would be needed.

Bleeding stopped 5 days ago - like a period would, but has now started again. urgent scan has been booked for two weeks time.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I don't know if this is RPOC and therefore should push for an earlier scan or whether it is normal to keep bleeding on or off after mc (It;s been 8 weeks now)

I've mc 5 times over past 18 months and the longest bleed has been 3 weeks.

Would be grateful for any opinion on this

I am so sorry for your loss. I would talk to your GP ASAP if you've started bleeding again, especially since you've already bleed for six weeks.

What is a RPOC?

Have you had an ultrasound? I not, how do they know everything passed out? Ask for an ultrasoundnow. You may need another D&C. I don't mean to scare you, but I kept bleeding for 8 weeks and I ended up having left over tissue.

i also started again about 4 days after I stopped and when it started again I passed a lot of lumpy purpleish, whitish tissue,
which was actually just clots and not problematic, though it scared the heck outta me at the time..
.. hope you are okay!

"urgent" and "2 wks time" do not go together! take it from a nurse, get another opinion.
And of course i'm really sorry for your loss

i was in a similar situation where i m/c'd b4 xmas at 11 weeks and used cytotec. i had a f/u u/s 2 days later that showed i passed everything, but i continued to bleed/spot until last week. that means i bled for a little over 6 weeks. about 3 weeks ago (while i had light bleeding) i had this sudden gush like u. i thought it was normal and that the gushing would stop. it turns out that i had what seemed like a keavy period just for the night. i panicked and because i work in a hospital, i arranged to have an ultrasound that still confirmed that i had no tissue left. the doc said maybe it was my period. i then went back to light bleeding and spotting until the last couple of days when i just had discharge with some brown tissue(sorry for tmi). despite my frantic calls, my doc said not to worry, we all take time to heal. if i were u i would just go to an ER, tell them u have vag. bleeding and see if they can do an u/s then. good luck and i'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

Thanks to you all for your replies. Phoned Gp the other day and she agreed that U/S scan not really urgent if its two weeks away, so said she'd get back to me with earlier date. Nothing yet!

Everything settled down again - no bleeding, so maybe its just natural for me and not 'retained products of conception'. They say no two pregnancies are alike - and I've had 5 and other than the obvious part of that does ring true. Off to see my obs cons tomorrow so see what he says. Always feel very hopeful when I've seen him, so things will probably be put to right.

I am sorry for your loss and I do hope the gp and ob are able to put your mind at ease! Please keep us updated!

After I lost Angel I bled for two weeks and then a month later I had my first AF. I agree, I definitely think you should talk with your OB about another u/s...it's very possible that some tissue didn't pass. I'm sorry for your loss and you're in my prayers. I'm here if you ever want to talk.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
