This happened about 6 months ago, but it's still on my mind so I thought I would post and ask others' opinions. I hadn't had a period in 6 weeks, but I began cramping in my back and bleeding so I put in a tampon figuring it was my period. When I took it out a few hours later, this (in the photo) was on it. I've never had anything like this come out! I continued to bleed pretty heavily through the next day and then lightly for another day or two before it stopped, but nothing else like that came out. I looked online and read somewhere to put it in water to see if it dissolves at all. I did that and it stayed whole, only some of the blood washed off. Even after being in the water, it still had dark red/black color in some areas. I've never had this happen! I still don't know if it was a miscarriage or possibly just tissue ? I have had nothing abnormal since. The photos show how it came out and then after I pulled it apart a little. Thank you for any help.
