I hope this isnt TMI for you. However, I had a missed miscarriage in November last year and the first period I had afterwards was BRIGHT RED but was like a bottle of wine tipped upside down in flow.. it just wouldnt stop and I was passing out.
Paul had to call an ambulance as it got to the point where I could barely stay 'With it'. his parents bathroom was also getting covered in blood as I tried to withold the flow with tissue and it got too much, my clothes were saturated and I felt like I was dieing because of the pain, literally.
The ambos arrived and said they thought I was miscarrying. I had to explain there was no way I could be and that I had previously had a d/c and was awaiting my period but wasnt sure what to expect... he said "not this sweety". I had to have another d/c and they told me I had RPOC (remaining products of conception) STILL in my uterus due to the previos d/c not being fully effective. I was mortified but glad to have it over and done with the flow back to normal. However, after 2 D/CS I was really uncertain and frightened as to what to expect...
The next month I came onto the most painful and dark brown period I have ever had, almost black! I was told it was normal and not to worry but it was like.. uh slimey and horrid, almost tar like! I had another period a month later the same and got quite worried something wasnt right... it was then they started investigating.
A month later my period came , fresh red blood with a few clots in JUST LIKE YOU HAVE DESCRIBED and they told me 'normal at last'... PHEW! I have since had a few months of these type of periods and then last week I had a lap/ dye operation to investage infertility...
I woke up bleeding and have had a mini period I would say, a week after my normal period ...(due to operation).
I am hoping now with my holiday coming up that my period will be normal when it returns... then I can start ttc with gusto, galloping towards a big fat BFP one day. HERES HOPING.
I think by the sounds of it, your period is normal. BUT and I say this with capitals... IF YOU feel at all worried pop into your local gynae ward and just ask them to take a little look and get your worries put to rest.
Seriusly, if your at all worried Im sure your doc wouldnt mind putting your worries to rest with a checkup. However, I hope it is just normal for you and that you can get on with life and get your much wanted BFP and baby in your arms one day.
