Hah, despite my best efforts I am still awake, so I am back.
Poppy, I meant that Suze may be onto something with her guess about your continued bleeding. It could be coming from your cervix as a result of DTD after ERPC or perhaps it's just normal bleeding while your uterus continues to try to normalise after the miscarriage and ERPC. It's so hard to guess. If it continues I would definitely call the EPU to get there opinion. It helps that you have gotten the BFN as that can probably rule out the bleeding being caused by remaining tissue from the pregnancy. it's also good that you are not getting any pain or tenderness from your cervix. My guess, if I may, is that your hormones are probably still a bit out of whack from the pregnancy and that may be what is behind the bleeding.
Suze, I had cervical tenderness too at your stage but it went when the spotting finally stopped. I wouldn't worry about it just yet but if it's still tender in a few days I would recommend talking to your doctor again. I'm sorry I never responded to your query about the antibiotics. I was given metronidazole and co-amoxiclav. The metronidazole is specifically aimed at infections in the reproductive organs. If you take either drug, that's the one I would recommend. The co-amoxiclav has amoxicillin and something else, also aimed at targeting infections in the nether regions. If the tenderness does not improve, that also could be signs of an infection but I wouldn't worry to much at this point unless it is actually painful (more than just tender) because the ERPC alone can cause that sort of tenderness and it just takes time for our bodies to recover.
As for how you would feel Suze about a BFP, what you feel is what is right for you. just as our bodies heal at different speeds and in different ways, so do our hearts and minds. I look forward to the day I can be happy about a BFP and not just filled with trepidation.
I hope you found my two-cents helpful. May we all get back to normal sooooon!!!
