Hi all - this is my second miscarriage. This time my 12 week scan showed no heartbeat. I was devastated though part of me was expecting this. The first time, I waited a couple of weeks but did not miscarry normally so had a D&C. This time, I wanted one straight away to get it over with. However, two weeks after the D&C, I am still bleeding heavily even after a week of two types of antibiotics.

I had a scan today and it showed quite a large amount of retained tissue and the radiologist suggested that I may need another D&C since antibiotics have not managed it.

I really don't think that I can handle that. This whole thing has been so heartbreaking - the ongoing physical issues are not helping. In the meantime, I am trying to get on with my job as normal but have needed to take so much time off with the op and heavy bleeding and now for scans, I feel like things are just unravelling and all I want to do is cry.

Has anyone else had retained tissue and what have they done to treat it?
