Bleeding????

SomedayInMyArms

This post may contain TMI, but I am really needing advice. I had a miscarriage Thursday evening at about 5 weeks. I passed the sac that evening and went to the ER. I did not have a pelvic exam because the ER was very busy and after waiting 6 hours it was just too much for me to do. I did have a US where they did not see sac anymore. I have had 3 previous miscarriages, but I have never been far enough along to see the sac on an ultrasound or even know I was passing it. I have had heavy bleeding since Thursday that has not really slowed down. I'm starting to get nervous that I am bleeding too much. My doctor has always said if I am filling a pad an hour I should go to the ER. I have not filled a pad an hour, but I am also going to the bathroom 500 times a day because I feel like I am bleeding. I have been passing clots and I feel like the blood is just pouring out of me when I am in the bathroom. It seems like so much. My doctor is out of the office until August, so my appointment isn't until the 4th. I do go tomorrow to have my HCG done, but I don't know what I should do about the bleeding. Should I call my doctors office or give it a few more days? Is this normal? My last 3 miscarriages were just like heavier periods with very little to no clotting. 

Any advice would be appreciated!

Unfortuantely, heavy bleeding and passing of clots for a while is pretty common. The pad/hour is pretty standard for when to go in. My last loss I was 8 weeks along and bled for about 5 weeks. 

If you're ever worried you should still call your doctor. Even if he's not in the office he should have someone on call that you can talk to.

I am very sorry for your loss. I just recently had my 2nd mc at about 7 weeks. I bled pretty heavily for a good week after it happened. Its awful and just a constant reminder of what has happened.
I hope the bleeding slows down for you soon. Dont be adraid to call dr at any time. I call with any quest/concerns. That's what they are there for.

While I didn't experience heavy bleeding like that with either of my miscarriages, I have to agree with PP's - call your doctors office. I've found that my doctor's office is fantastic with making me feel better - no matter how silly the question. They have multiple doctors, and a separate nurse line specifically for asking questions. Certainly with something as serious as you're experiencing they should be able to give you great advice.

PP's have given you some good advice.  Just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss and offer ((HUGS)).

Thank you! I'm waiting for the nurse to call with my HCG level and I will talk to her about the bleeding.
