Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

natural m/c?

This will be my 2nd m/c... one in October with d&c and this one. Which I am just trying to let things run its course, but I have been bleeding for 9 days. Started bleeding Tuesday of last week, passed some tissue on Sunday night and I have continued bleeding. It has gotten lighter in the last day or so... but I feel like I smell! It is driving me crazy!! I feel so gross.... Has anyone else experienced this. Should I call my Dr? I know they are so tired of me calling for every little thing. But with this happening naturally this time, I just don't know what to expect. TIA.

Re: natural m/c?

  • I'm so sorry for your losses. My experience was different, but it never hurts to call your Dr. - it is what you pay them for, so you shouldn't feel guilty. [[hugs]]

  • Mine have both been natural and the bleeding this time lasted about a week with tissue/clots and eventually went to spotting. I felt the same way with the smell. I carried around those cottonelle wet wipes and used them quite a bit and changed my pad/pantyliner a billion times a day and it helped. The doctor did say to call if there was a really foul smell because it could mean infection. I doesn't hurt to call and just ask.

  • I did a natural MC about 3 weeks ago now and my experiance was different, in the fact that I passed quite a bit of tissue in a matter of a few hours.  As far as the bleeding mine hasn't completly stopped yet.  Some days I think it's over and the next it starts again.  I've talked to the Dr. and they say that it's different for all women and that if it gets worse to come in and they would take a look.

    My advice is call your Dr. even if you think they are tired of hearing from you, this is your body and you need to take care of you!  Let your Dr. know what is going on and see what they have to say.  The bleeding could be very normal or it could be something that needs to be addressed.  Hang in there my dear.

  • I'm going through a natural m/c right now.  I started spotting on Sunday and today I'm a lot of tissue and having heavy bleeding.  I just keep changing my bad and keep taking hot showers, it makes me feel better.  I'm lucky to have a snow day today so I can stay home and relax.  I was at the RE this morning and he said it's normal.  You should call your Dr.  That's what they are there for.  If there tired of you calling, tough for them!  They should be there for you if you need them.  I'm sorry your going through this.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. My natural m/c experience was different, but everyone's is. I spotted until I passed the sac, then I started bleeding heavily for a few days. I only passed one other clot, then bled for a few more days. From the day I passed the sac to the end of bleeding was 7 days. Definitely call your doctor if you are questioning anything.
  • I am feeling your pain.  I had a natural m/c on 2/14 - 2/15.  Really heavy bleeding, clots, and sac.  All last week I bled heavily with clots and cramps.  This week it has slowed and the cramps are gone, but I would not call it spotting yet.  I am with you.  I feel gross, too.  My nurse at the RE says it is all normal and unless there are signs of infection we just have to endure.  Totally sucks!

  • Thanks everyone. I guess it is different for everyone. I will just have to wait it out while taking two showers a day... which is helping with the gross feeling. I just hope I don't have to have a d&c. I don't want to have to go through the surgery and don't have another $600 to fork out.
