Maybe a stupid & selfish question...but will I EVER stop bleeding???

[my1stbump]

To cut a long story short I started to mc on the 26th Aug..

3 scans later on the 6th Sept I was told to carry on mc naturally (I have not been offered help medically only pain relief) and to expect my period with in 10days! If still bleeding Ive got another scan on the 27th Sept... 5wks after it all began.

I feel very stupid for saying this but I have no Idea if I am having my period right now or I am still mc??

I have the same feelings that I have been experiancing from the beginning so I have no idea.

I feel like I have been bleeding forever! and using a towel all day everyday is not nice anymore( not that it is anyway)

I just want this to be over so I dont have a constant reminder that I have lost my baby, and then I can enjoy being me again. I miss my oh phyiscally and i cant take my children swimming or just little things like that.

I know and understand that It takes time...but its still happening to me phyiscally and I wish it wasnt!

I am just so sorry, I can't even help. I lost my Ava at 18 and half weeks I gave birth to her and we buried her on 3/11/2011. I bled for 2 weeks and then got my AF 5 weeks later, I am sorry I can't help more XOXOXOXO Thinking of you

I feel for you! I only bled a week, but here they give a med that helps contract the uterus and keep things moving along quicker. Have they checked your hcg levels, you could have retained tissue? It seems strange and wrong for them to make you wait til the end of the month to get rechecked! Are you still bleeding heavily, like a period, or more spotting like?

They can give u meds here too, but the mw told me i'd be poorlier if I was to take them!!

The last time I had a blood test was on the 26th Aug (5wks tomorrow!)

I have been for 3 scans in total and no blood taken or anything like that.

to be honest the bleeding was just like a heavy period when I started mc with clots, since then which is 4weeks it has been like a period with the occasional heavyness and clots. Today I got up with a clean pad, but went loo and wiped (sorry TMI) and still quite a bit

Fingers crossed its stopping!

I rang my Dr yesterday to see if they will do a blood test for Anemia, and I've got to go and see her, She is appaled at how the hospital have let me go on like this for all this time, and she has told me that if there is any tisscue remaining at my scan on tues (4th Scan!!) then I have to DEMAND a d&c or help to clear the tissue. She said I need closeur(sorry Spelling)

So gotta wait and see now.

Heya, I'm so glad to hear your doc is appalled as well! It is ridiculous to make you wait it out like this! So you go on tuesday for your scan then, I go on monday, hope we're both cleared out! The med I was talking about (methergin) is not that painful one that brings on the mc, but one that helps the uterus clear out remaining tissue/blood so you stop bleeding sooner, I only bled for a week after passing the sac. I agree you need closure, and to move on, hoping it arrives soon, big hug!

Hello I mc in July and bled for what felt like forever. In total it lasted about 6weeks with two breaks of a few days in between. It was horrible and I just wanted it to be over, I probably should have gone to the doctors but I didn't. Now I'm starting to move on from it although it is hard. I hope you're okay and remember you'll come out of this a stronger person.
