Hi
As you may or may not know; I was diagnosed with an MMC at the end of September; and the miscarriage happened pretty much within 24 hours although it took 4 weeks to get the all clear for retained 'products' and then my period returned 2 weeks after that. Although I normally used to have incredibly long cycles 60 or 70 days; I was hoping that my cycles would return to semi-normal after the miscarriage and I was pleased when I started spotting on Wednesday as it was about cycle day 35 but it was very bright red spotting not the usual brownish menstrual blood and kept stopping and starting. My husband and I have been NTNP and decided not to test early so I had no idea if I was pregnant or not; I was spotting on and off until last night when things started to get scarily heavy; not as heavy as the miscarriage but a lot heavier than any period I have had; even those I have had after many months of not having one. I also got that familiar pressure pain that I had when miscarrying and when I felt down my cervix was extremely low and open which does not happen when I menstruate; to that extent. If I was pregnant the most I'd be is 5.5 weeks. Throughout today I've been getting 'pushing' feelings and when I pushed quite a lot of bright red blood; and clots was coming out although the clots mostly seemed just like blood and not actual flesh, and I've been getting terrible cramps including in my legs; that were worse than with the miscarriage in September but have eased off now. I've been soaking pads every couple of hours; which even with a heavy period for me; is excessive. In a way I'm in denial but I am seriously thinking, could it have happened again? Is this another miscarriage?
