Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Unpleasant...when does this go away?
Still bleeding and cramping from m/c over a week ago. Doctor did not give me an idea of when it might stop, just said it's different for everyone. I passed clots and tissue and the fetus passed on Monday, that was horrifying and sad 
HCG levels still over 400, getting more blood drawn Monday. Just want to get on with life and try again...

Re: Unpleasant...when does this go away?
I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know if my experience will help you but after I had my D&C I bled for two weeks almost exactly. I didn't miscarry naturally but from what I understand having bleeding happen for two or more weeks can be considered normal but I am interested in other people's experiences.
BFP #2 on 2/10/12 - Little Nugget's EDD 10/23/12, Natural Miscarriage on 2/29/12
BFP #3 on 6/7/12 - BB's EDD 2/19/13, arrived 2/18/13!
It's normal to have bleeding for about two weeks. Some people have less and some more. Hopefully your levels will be closer to zero on Monday. FX!

I'm so sorry that you found yourself here. I hope these pages provide the kind of comfort to you as it did for me. I miscarried naturally in October. It took about a week and 1/2 of full bleeding and a few remaining days of spotting. My HcG levels dropped fairly quickly once the bleeding was near conclusion. Fortunately, the sonogram and transvaginal confirmed that I did not need a D/C to remove any remaining tissue. My period has returned and it was heavier (and I have a naturally heavy period) than usual. As to getting on with life, life happens but not at the speed with which I would like. Just moving through it is, unfortunately, not an option. There is a healing process (physical and emotional) that has to happen before trying again becomes an option.
Don't be surprised if you have the following symtoms for the next few weeks: listlessness, slight depression, exhaustion, moodiness, and irritability. Even though I'm doing much better, every now and then, the sadness hits me and then leaves as soon as it came. The best piece of advice that I have received so far was that I should find the time and a space for myself to grieve. If I don't, I run the risk of bringing fear, guilt and toxicity into the next time when I try again. And it's not fair to begin a new life with old baggage. I pass along the same advice to you. Be well and take care of yourself.
