Infection after missed m/c? *Warning TMI*

[Papillon]

** WARNING - I HAVE BEEN VERY OPEN AND TMI SO DONT READ IF YOU DONT LIKE TMI*


ok so some of you know about what has happened with me recently, ill quickly re-cap just so i can get the best possible answer's here...

On the 11th march we started loosing our baby. I was only 4.5/5 week's but we were still just totally guttered. For a week, we got to enjoy the excitement that expecting another baby bring's...

Anyhow, on the day i started lightly bleeding.. saw my dr and she did a bt. Level was 24 and she was happy at that stage and said to re do the BT 2 days later. The bleeding stayed light... were no tissue in any of it and so we were really hoping it wasnt a m/c.

Anyway, the next BT level was 6 so it was confirmed, we lost the baby. I did not bleed again after the Friday, so that was only 2 days of light bleeding. I went back to see my dr a week and a half later and we re-did the test as she questioned still being pregnant... (i was curious as to why i hadn't bled more) anyway, that BT came back 0 so i definitely lost the baby....

Anyhow - last week was 5 week's post m/c and i had started to wonder why i hadn't had an AF... then on Wednesday night (15th) i started to get cramp's and had slight spotting. In the early hour's of Thursday morning i started bleeding heavily. VERY heavily. The pain was getting so bad, that i could not sleep.. panadol, nurofen, heat pack's, nothing was even touching it.. so i started questioning if this was in fact a normal AF.....

Thursday the pain and bleeding got that bad i just knew something was wrong... so i went to the GP. He rang the hospital straight away and sent me there, telling me i needed a d&c, that id had a missed m/c (so to speak, yes we knew but my body didnt 'get rid' of the left overs )....

Anyhow, while there... while they were organising me to go and have a D&C, my body passed it all naturally... a scan showed all had basically come away.

They felt that i should be OK without the D&C, but because i carried what was left from the pregnancy for 5 week's, that they were stunned id had no sign's of infection, and i was high risk.

They have put me on anti-b's... which i couldn't get until today, so i have just started taking them. So, it has been 6 day's since this happened (OMG i didn't realise it had been so long )

Anyhow, the bleeding has just basically stopped as of yesterday, still get a bit here and there when i wipe but not flowing... i am now getting pain. I dont know how to explain it.. its not cramping so to speak, it is, i dont know. It is enough to be annoying and make me really short and niggly with DF and he kids, and it is increasing.

I have also noticed a bit of a smell, but then its not too bad like, one minute i think there is one, then next time i check there isnt.... and thats only as of today..... wasn't around before

I guess i just wanna know, how should i watch this?? obviously i would say i have an infection, by the pain and the smell... and seriously, carrying the 'baby' for 5 week's what could i expect?!

But, what i want to know is what to watch for? how do i measure this?

Just looking for anyone with experience, who may have had a missed m/c and then an infection or something.... anything...

I am not sure if the fact im on anti-biotic's is ok enough and i should just be fine... i remember vaguely (they gave me 3 lots of morphine so i was high as a kite - thats how bad the pain was)... i remember vaguely the doc said, i needed to go back to the dr to get result's on IF there is an infection and what type, from the test's they did. I havent called or seen the dr (bad i know i guess i just, i dunno.. i havent dealth with this m/c well at all )..

So, should i go see the GP tomorrow? and in the mean time - what do i look for that means i should go to a dr sooner??

I just have never been here before...and feel really like im in un-chartered water's

to anyone who has gotten this far, thank you.. and if you reply THANK YOU even more
