I am sorry for your loss !
If i were you i would pop to the doctors tomorrow- just in case.
Even though you are taking antibiotics it may pay to get checked. I wouldnt like to see you in even more pain.
Hope you get it all sorted and on the road to recovery as best you can.
I am sorry to hear about your loss.
I would continue taking the AB's and maybe some pain relief if you need it. Test your temperature as if its an infection you will probably have temperature. Also with infection you often have a discharge that can be in the form of a funny AF or much lighter. Your CM may indicate there is an infection. AB's should take over 24hrs to start working. If you go to the dr tomorrow they can give you a referral for BT that will show if your white cell count is high which indicates infection. One of the risk of a uterine infection is hemorrage so I would monitor any blood loss. You can carry the baby for many weeks and still not get an infection. If there are any retained products that have caused an infection you will most likely need a D&C so probably best to go to the dr just to be sure.
Sorry to hear you have gone through this. I would suggest continuing with analgesia and ABs and also see Dr tomorrow as the ABs may not be strong enough or appropriate to kill bugs from infection.
If you have only just started taking the antibiotics then you may be more at risk of a pelvic infection having developed due to the 6 day delay (but with sleep deprivation I may have misread you )
Things to look for with an infection post miscarriage are odour (foul and distinctive from your normal, healthy female scent), discharge (greenish or yellowish is a concern), fevers and pelvic pain / discomfort. TBH, I would see your GP ASAP as a pelvic infection can have significant consequences for fertility. It is hard to assess the severity yourself as you might seem well but not be.
Look after yourself honey A miscarriage can throw you right out emotionally as well as physically but you need to make sure you look after you while you grieve and deal with the various emotions.
im so sorry to hear of your loss huni,
although i didnt have a m/c i had a infection after a d&c,mirena fitting, camera & biopsys.
i had bad pain, bleeding and smell about 2 weeks after i had it put in...went the doc who said it was a infection but as im on morphine for pain relief at home anyway they could only give me abs nothing else.
id suggest see how you go tonight and if you feel worse go the emergency room if you need to.
