Will I ever stop bleeding? 😪

[MagicTourmaline]

I had a miscarriage mid December, was bleeding for 3 weeks after that, had 2 weeks off and started again... I have been bleeding for nearly 4 weeks now 1 day fresh blood, next day old blood hardly anything, then again fresh blood and next day hardly any but its never no blood... Is this normal??? I know period gets funny after miscarriage but having it for a whole month it seems wrong... I am just so tired of keep seeing blood, I am really sick of it... 😪

I’m so sorry for your loss 💔

Unfortunately your periods can be messed up post miscarriage, it took mine a while to settle back Into a rhythm again. However, I did only bleed for 9 days post surgery and then my period showed up four weeks later with a very heavy bleed vs continuous bleeding - have you spoken to your doctor? If not, I’d give them a call.

Big hugs xx

Thank you for your reply! And sorry for your loss too...I did go back and they said I have an infection so i have just finished my anti biotics yesterday... but few weeks before they done a scan and said everything was gone... but if it still carries on the weekend I will call them again...

[XOXO13 in reply to MagicTourmaline]

Ow I’m sorry, not what you need after going through a loss. Whenever I was in doubt, I’d call my doctor. With my first bleed post miscarriage, it was incredibly heavy that it resembled my miscarriage which scarred me but my doctor reassured me that unfortunately, that can be normal.

Take care of yourself, I hope it all settles down soon for you xx

Thats the other thing i find weird, that I never had a heavy bleed since the miscarriage... it had a really light flow but mostly when i wipe... (sorry) i very rarely had heavy periods but i was expecting a bit more this time but it never happened... 🤔

[XOXO13 in reply to MagicTourmaline]

Everyone is different so don’t worry too much - my second bleed was pretty non existent, and then the third it was late and gradually returned to normal. It’s just your body trying to find it’s rhythm again. It’s cruel in a way, but a sign of a period is a good thing even if it’s a light bleed xx

Hello Magic, I am sorry for your loss and what you are going through. Are you under any medical management post miscarriage? Sometimes natural miscarriages are incomplete and can cause prolonged bleeding for weeks until medically resolved. I was bleeding on and of for a month just like you described and monitored by scans to see how things were progressing.

[MagicTourmaline in reply to pink_lemon]

Thank you very much for your reply and sorry for your loss... 😪 I had a scan 4 weeks after the miscarriage and they said its all clear and done a pregnancy test and came back negative... but needed to go back again, they said its infection so they gave me antibiotics... just hoping it will stop soon... 😪

[pink_lemon in reply to MagicTourmaline]

I see. I am so sorry it is dragging for you. I hope it resolves soon. Take care of yourself, it is a hard time to go through.

So sorry for your loss. I had a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks and had to have medical management as I never miscarriaged naturally. I bled on and off for over a month and my periods were also totally messed up (shorter and longer) for a few months after. However, I did bleed for longer than the hospital said I would so I went to my GP. He was really nice said some people do bleed longer and that if it was bad they could give me something to help reduce it. I didn’t want anymore medication so I just waited and it eventually stopped. If you are worried or finding it difficult it might be worth speaking to your GP for reassurance. Xx

Thank you for your reply... I am so sorry for your loss...When you say medical is that D&C or with the medication? I had the medicated miscarriage...

Yes I have spoken to the hospital, had a scan 4 weeks after miscarriage and they said all clear, then was bleeding long again so went back and they said infection so i was on antibiotics until yesterday... i hope now that the infection gone it will stop for now... 😔

[Pupster83 in reply to MagicTourmaline]

I had medicated miscarriage too as there was a wait for pre-op for d&c and I just wanted it over with. Hopefully things will settle once you finish your antibiotics. X

Hi Magic, very sorry for your loss. When I had my MC I had a similar pattern although my second bleed lasted 2 weeks. I called my GP and she said it’s normal it takes a while to reset and as long as you’re not losing too much blood I don’t think 4 weeks is too strange. Make sure you take some iron tablets as you’re probably anaemic by now. ❤️

[MagicTourmaline in reply to Positivechangeplease]

Thank you that is reassuring... I am sorry for your loss too... 😔

[Positivechangeplease in reply to MagicTourmaline]

It’s heartbreaking but I hope you don’t lose faith. My miscarriage was over a year ago -Dec 2020 (I just remember everything very vividly and it was an extremely sad time) but I’m over a year on now and thanks to our second frozen embryo I’m safely on the route to a healthy birth (I hope! As the fear never really leaves) - I’m 41 now so whilst it’s heartbreaking now I hope you can see it through to the other side in time, for you do need to grieve now. But know that hope is still out there ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Magic, I am so sorry for your loss. I have literally just been in the same scenario. I finally stopped bleeding ( just spotting now) week 5/6 and got my first negative pregnancy test post miscarriage a few days ago. I checked with my EPU and they are happy that things sound like they are resolving. If you are still having a positive pregnancy test then it might be worth calling your clinic/ EPU for advice incase its’s incomplete. Fingers crossed everything settles for you soon.

Thank you and so sorry for your loss... About 5 weeks ago they scanned me and said it was all gone, and it stopped for 2 weeks and when its started again i thought ots my period so was quite happy with it but it was nearly 4 weeks ago... 😔 they said i had an infection but not sure how as 3 weeks before they confirmed it was all gone and they done a pregnancy test and it was negative... just finished my antibiotics so hopefull that will help to stop the bleeding for a bit...

[Hidden]

Poor you. What a time you have had. Hopefully it settles soon but no harm in phoning them again for some reassurance if you are worried.

[MagicTourmaline in reply to Hidden]

I will wait and see over the weekend, see if finihing the antibiotics will help and call them again... Thank you... x

I am so sorry for your loss. After one of my MC I bled for 72 days in total and was told it was ‘normal’ x

[MagicTourmaline in reply to Hidden]

Oh wow!!! I hope that wont be the case for me as I am already tired of it... 😪I am so sorry about your losses... 😔
