I also miscarraiged and bled for over 16 days in 2010, when the bleeding stopped i had an internal and external ultrasound and since then i was in a relationship for 1 year and didn't fall pregnant, I fear that i may be unable to become pregnant, im going to book more ultrasounds, ive been putting it off because i don't think ill be able to cope if Im told Im unable to fall pregnant again, im not planning on children for a long time ( a few years once im married) but it just scares me a whole year with my ex partner and not once did i become pregnant, but my partner of 2 years before him was the one i misscarried to. I think and worry about this every day :( i never discussed it with my ex.
Im sorry for your loss. I miscarried the day before Thanksgiving and now two months later Im still bleeding. Ive been to several drs. and nobody can give me an answer. Im now seeing my acupuncturist and the bleeding started reducing. However, today Im bleeding like crazy and Im at a total loss and my emotions are raw. The acupuncture has helped I dont feel as much physical pain and my emotions arent nearly as crazy as they were. Im just lost and I feel for my boyfriend. I have never been a needy person, but fit the discription perfectly now. I never knew how horrible I could feel losing a child.
The way I look at it, they didnt have any way to look inside of you in the past and many women were ok. Our bodies are pretty amazing, but if youre scared make sure you pay attention to whether you feel down and have a fever, or feel like your in pain after youve passed the main clots, or smell like really bad. other then that youll be fine. and an infection shouldnt occur unless youre far after the miscarriage, like 4-8 weeks.
Hi I had fell and it made sex very painful get off it as quick as you can! It messes with your hormones they give fell to reduce the sexual urge in sex offenders. Change your doctor get a 2nd opinion. This ruined my life for approx 6 years until I read an article from the British Medical Journal.
I had an empty sac at 8 weeks. At about 14 weeks - January 19th, 2013 I started bleeding. I am still bleeding today which is February 25th, 2013. 37 Days! My sac was attached to my C-Section scar so the doctor didn't want to do a D&C since the scraping might damage my scar and bladder. I have waited and waited for the bleeding to stop. I knew I wanted to let my body do this miscarriage naturally but it has felt like this has been so long it is starting to wear on me. I was hoping to hear from some people that have bled this long... Thanks.
On January 20th I started spotting, but wasnt too worried because light bleeding is common in early pregnancy. about 3 days later it went from spotting to heavier bleeding. I went into ER and they did an exam and did blood tests. They said i was still pregnant but i had to go back in 2 days for another blood test to confirm levels were going up. At that test, my levels increased but not by very much. They were not 100% but they thought i had miscarried. I went back again after a few days and my levels were below 1, and i was told that I had a complete miscarriage. It is now February 26th and I am still bleeding. I went in to see my Dr after 3 weeks and he ordered an US, but it couldnt be booked until March 12th!! I was upset that i would have to wait so long to find out. I was doing okay, but to bleed for 5 weeks, it is very mentally and emotionally draining, and to think it would take another 3 weeks to find out what is going on is even worse.
I started bleeding heavier on Feb 24th, so I went back to ER. They checked my hormones and they went back up. They thought maybe some tissue was left behind, or that i could be pregnant (i knew that i couldn't be). I had to go back 2 days later AGAIN for more blood tests, and my levels went back down.
They prescribed a low dose birth control pill to stop the bleeding. They said i only need to take it for a week or so until the bleeding stops. I will still have my US on the 12th.
They ruled out infection because i have no fever or foul smell or strange discharge.
I just want to know what is going on with me, and get back to normal. We wanted to ttc again in April, but now I'm not sure if that will be possible because things arnt going back to normal.
This is a hard enough thing to deal with, but it becomes so stressful when things dont happen according to what is "normal" and no one seems to know what is wrong. All of the nurses and dr's ive dealt with were shocked with the amount of time it is taking for me to get back to normal.

Hi I had a natural mc on the 12 Feb and a d n c the following week... Bled very heavily den slowed to spotting almost stopped n now the bleeding is very heavy with slight cramping... I have been bleeding nonstop for a month - please help- this is my second miscarriage in 6 months first mc I had only bled for a week
I bled for almost 2 months. I miscarried Jan 20th, and the bleeding stopped March 13th. It took 3 weeks to get an ultrasound, which i had on March 12th. My doctor says everything is back to normal and that we can try again after I have a normal period. I know how you feel. It can be very scary and hard to relax. I also found that the daily reminder of what had happened really took a toll on my sanity, I was very emotional. It was difficult when doctors and nurses seemed puzzled by what was happening to me and no one could explain it. My bleeding also almost stopped and then became very heavy. I was put on the pill to try for a week, which stopped it. It started again after i stopped taking the pill a week later. I figured I would just let nature take its course and it finally stopped on its own. The results from the ultrasound also put me at ease. I know it is hard, but try not to panic and trust that your body knows what it is doing.
I too experienced something similar in January, i started bleeding and went to the hospital where they could not tell what was wrong because of how early the pregnancy was. Cramping soon accompanied the bleeding, I usually have pretty intense period cramps but these were making from my lower back to the bottom of my thigh numb they were so painful. Went back again and they said that I was clearly miscarrying and when we did the ultrasound, the five week embryo and the placenta were getting sufficiently smaller and off to the side you could see that there was the figure of a baby. I am not a doctor and the doctor did not say anything about it but there was clearly no heartbeat and no placenta attached. This was very hard as I have never been pregnant and was very ecstatic to find out that i was. I bled and cramped like this for about a month. The cramps were just as painful as when they had started. The doctor said that i would go back into a normal cycle and still hasn't happened 4 weeks after bleeding stopped and 8 weeks after the miscarriage. The doctor handed me a form to come back in to the office if i missed my period for a pregnancy test. He never said how long it would take but that i would just go back into a regular cycle, and does that mean that there is a high chance that I could become pregnant so soon after the miscarriage.
I am age 48. I had a normal cycle, then on day 15 I started spotting, then it turned to a light flow. My doctor sent me for an ultrasound. Nothing there. I went in for a visit at which time we discussed that it was likely a peri-menopausal hormone imbalance, but then my pregnancy test came back positive. Miscarriage! Very unexpected and very early in the pregnancy. My doctor said a placenta started to develop, but that was all the further things went. I have been bleeding now for three weeks. I have passed small clots off an on, then a jelly-bean-sized clot yesterday that looked like a sack. My doctor is monitoring my progesterone levels through weekly blood draws to make sure the miscarriage is progressing. I figure nature will take its course, and I just need to be patient.
We are all different, and each miscarriage is unique. I was emotional when I first found out, but now am at peace. Another child to meet in heaven.
I had a miscarried on April 4th and Iam still bleeding a few clots very small but it's mostly spotting and it's a funny color too. Iam not in any pain except a few headaches me and my husband can't have sex til the bleeding stops Iam just sick of the bleeding it's bad enough i lost my baby now I have to go threw this c**p as well how long will this last is this normal. Very frustrated!!!!!!
They told me that I had a Miscarriage and to be careful because some women can be really fertile after a miscarriage so I need to give my body time to heal.

Can somebody help me. Im very lost and confused and need some advice.
May 20th, i found out my ex partner had chlamydia and may have given it to me & i also started miscarrying (i was 8 weeks) and alot of blood was coming out, and my blood soaked the pads alot. I started passing big clots and then the bleeding got lighter and lasted a week and a half. I kinda stopped bleeding for a week (with mild spotting) and then i started spotting again. This sunday i had sex with my partner around 3am and later on during that day mid afternoon the bleeding became a darker red(like period blood and was coming out quite a bit) then monday it started spotting again and hasnt stopped and its been nearly a month.
i need some advice or if anybody knows what this is ???
