    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.
    lots of hugs hun
