So maybe it's not AF???

[StillPraying]

I had a loss at 15 weeks on 21 Aug.
I bled for 24 days, the last day being 13 September.
I still was getting positive pregnancy tests, and then I got what I thought was AF on 23 September (5 weeks post delivery, but only 9 days of no bleeding). Now it's been 12 days of bleeding.
Is this normal?

Have you been back to get checked out? I posted on another thread, but after my first loss at 13 weeks, I bled for a LONG time! I kept going to the ER and they didn't find anything wrong. HCG tested negative. They just sent me home with some pain meds. Like 2 and a half months after the miscarriage, I finally passed a final bit of tissue. They didn't even see it on ultrasound, I don't know how it was still in there. The bleeding stopped soon after. Maybe that's what's happening with you?

I hope you get this worked out soon and your body gets back to normal.

I have an appointment on the Friday and I'm going to beg them to do an ultrasound or more blood work or something this is just obnoxious.

What time is your appointment Tomorrow??

 

[StillPraying]

It's a 1000 am. I'm so nervous actually I don't even know why. I feel like I'm going to be told something is wrong.
How are you doing ma'am?

What did they say?

 

[StillPraying]

They did a pregnancy test which was negative of course, and then said since it's negative, I don't have any retained products from mc. She also said that I'm bleeding because of stress and because I haven't ovulated? That really makes no sense to me.

Ugh that just isn't true! I mean obviously I don't know for sure, but I'm telling you they even did a blood test on me which they said was negative, so they kind of brushed me off like that too . And I DID end up having retained product. I am so upset for you. Can you get a second opinion??

 

[StillPraying]

I'm thinking I'll give it another week and if I'm still bleeding I'll just go to my regular clinic and see what they say. It doesn't help that the dr is also almost 30 weeks pregnant and was clearly uncomfortable around me

Have you heard of red raspberry leaf? A friend of mine told me about it and it helped me after my last MMC in April. I had the pill form. Anyway, I took about 3 of them every 4 hours and that really helped get everything out. Might be an option.

I used to drink the tea when I was close to labor with dd1! I definitely will try that. I'm also starting vitex and evening primrose oil, hoping to encourage ovulation.
