This is the miscarriage that never ends...

This is ridiculous.
Fri 27th August, I have the first bright red bleeding.
Wed 1st Sep, I get the news that the HCG levels have dropped from 4000ish to 621.
Wed 8th Sep, I have such heavy bleeding that I have to leave work. It stops that night.
Mon 13th Sep, heavy bleeding starts.
Thurs 16th Sep, the bleeding increases to the point of soaking the pad (put on 1 hr before), my undies, tights, and the work chair. My angelic colleague drives me home. Horribly enormous clots.
Today, more bad bleeding and clots.

When is this going to end? When I bleed to death? I hate this. I've already lost any hope of a baby/further pregnancy this year, do I have to have my face rubbed in it as well? Baby Elvis was supposed to be due at the end of this month, god dammit.

I hate this.

I really needed to vent, I think. I wish I could cry.

Oh, I know exactly how you feel :hug: :hug: :cry:

After 7 weeks of bleeding, I begged for a D&C, I just wanted it over with. I couldn't begin to get over it while it was still happening. Would you consider talking to your GP about it? They can at least order a scan to see 'how much' is left, and you can decide from there...

Awww honey, are you able to get to a Dr or ED? I think that you need to get some help with the bleeding.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

:hug::hug: sweetie, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Please see your GP or go to your local ER that blood loss sounds alot.

Regards,
Dianne

hugs hun,

my FS told me after one of my many mc that i bled for a long time that i needed a d&c as bleeding passed 6 weeks could mean/ incourage an infection......sure enough i had endomitritis (not to be confused with endo)

i would go get it cgecked with your health care provider

I'm very sorry that you have lost another baby this year. I have had similar losses in the last year (at 12wks and 7wks) and have a DD just a bit younger than yours.I had prolonged bleeding after each one; 3mths the first time (despite 3 d & c's) then 8wks the second time (used medication, no d & c). My situation may be different to yours but just in case it's of any help i thought i'd post: I had blood tests for recurrent miscarriage. The only thing that showed up is that I have a gene for a blood clotting problem. My OB seems to think it might explain both the losses and the prolonged bleeding. Not sure if you are going to get tests done? I hope you feel better soon...

Hi. :hug:

How is the bleeding today? Will you be going to see the doctor?

I am very sorry for your loss :hug:

:comfort: sorry for your loss

one if my m/c I bled on and off for about 28 days then had major flooding bleeding as you decribed soaking a pad etc, it dies down after 2 days when I passed some clots then around a week of spotting...so all up approx 6 weeks of bleeding, I was 7 weeks with that m/c too

:comfort: if your at all concerned pop up to your dr or ER

Dear everyone,
thank you for your replies and hugs; your kindness helps enormously. possum magic, I shall be ringing my OB today and asking about what to do, and if I should worry about this blood clotting gene. I spent much of the weekend in bed, intermittently changing my pyjamas (pads are just not cutting it, especially when I fall asleep for a few hours) but the bleeding seems to be slacking off again.

I've asked DH if he wants to try and get pregnant next time; astoundingly, he doesn't think it's possible. But he bought me jellybeans. :)
Thank you all again.

Oh hun you cant go on like think you need to find a supportive OB or Dr. I hope your phone call today helps.

No one needs their face rubbed in it this much and the bleeding must mean that there is more going on than normal!

:hug:

I rang my OB yesterday. She was concerned, which is good. So, 3 options given:
1. have a D&C that night.
2. take antibiotics for 3 days and then see how things were; if no change in bleeding, a D&C on Friday.
3. take antiinflammitories (eg. Neurofen) for 3 days and then see how things were; if no change, D&C Friday.

I went for option 3. The thought of another D&C makes me very anxious, for some odd reason, and I am sure I don't have an infection, as there's no yucky smell nor fever. Neurofen at the maximum dose it is. Oh please let this help.

Did I say thank you for all the hugs? Thank you. :)

I hope it helps for you too... :crossfingers:

This must be a massive emotional journey for you :hug:

Kirsten - thinking of you and hoping that it all settles down real soon. This process can be very draining, take care sweety xoxox

Am hoping that it helps babe, and you don't need a D&C.

:hug:

Another update.
The Neurofen worked to reduce the flow significantly, and the blood changed from red to brown, which was reassuring. So I didn't have to have a D&C Friday. THANK GOD. Instead, I took my daughter to the pool! This was great for 30 minutes and then she vomited everywhere. I may never show my face there again. Still better than the D&C though.
However.
I am still (!) bleeding. It comes and goes, but never goes entirely; I got away without a pad for a bit, but at the cost of stained undies. I feel like I'm keeping the pad manufacturers in business. Ringing the OB again today to let her know and find out what we do from here.
My best friend is hugely pregnant. I am hoping with every fibre of my being that I don't end up having a D&C while she has her baby. Murphy's Law can sod off.

I‘m so sorry to hear that things are still not resolved. :comfort: You must be exhausted, physically and emotionally. I hope so much that things settle down for you soon. If you have to have a D&C we will all be here to support you through it. :comfort:

:heartbeat: Rachel.

Have been thinking of you...can't imagine how difficult it is for you to have this constant reminder going on right now :hug:

I know what you mean about keeping pad manufacturer's in business. I've made that joke too! I hope things only get better for you and that old Murphy takes a hike!

You aren't alone.

My miscarriage was sept 5th and it's still going on. Hopefully it's over for us both soon

it sux :( at least it slowed down. : hugs:

Final, I hope, update.
After a week of bloodstained.... goopiness.... I woke up this morning to find the most disgusting thing ever in my undies. And bear in mind that I've had 1 childbirth, 2 miscarriages and innumerable heavy horrible periods; I know disgusting. My first thought was "I gave birth to a slug?!?"
But that appears to have been it! The end! The terminus! Oh THANK GOD.
My OB, who has to be the best woman in the business, rang me again today to check. She was pleased to hear of the slug but cautioned me that if this isn't the end- ie, if I have any bleeding between now and Monday- I will have a D&C Tuesday. And another reason I love this woman; she continued with "If, God forbid, you find yourself in this position again, we are going straight for the curette." Huzzah.
Thank you all again for your support. May this truly be the end, and I can start posting in the TTC after Miscarriage thread soon.
And mum2Romone, I am thinking of you and hoping that you find a resolution soon.
(oh; my best friend had her gorgeous baby on Tuesday. I am pleased to find that I am nothing but pleased, if that makes sense. Just thrilled that there is at least one beautiful adored baby in the world, even if there should have been two.)

Hi Kirsten.

Just wanted to let you know that there is still hope, don't give up.

I myself have lost 6 babies all before 8wks, and have a DS who is almost 2. I'm currently 14wks with pregnancy #8, and it looks like it's staying sticky.

Don't give up trying, because you WILL get to hold that baby in your arms even if it wasn't the right time for it to happen now.

Sending lots of hugs and prayers out to you and your family!
