Hi, almost 3 months ago I had a
miscarriage at 7 weeks. I bled for about
6 days, lighter than one of my normal
periods. An ultrasound said everything
was fine. I then waited 6 1/2 weeks to
get my next period, which was 5 days of
light bleeding, a day off, and now I am on
my 14th day of really heavy, clotted
bleeding, with no end in sight. Does this
sound normal to anyone? I feel like my dr
hasn't really explained anything to
me...It all seems like this is no big deal
(for him).. .Believe it or not, this is
causing my more (if that's possible)
depression and upset than the original
miscarriage (i have 2 other children)..
Please tell me something!

I suggest getting a new doctor. I,
however, can't answer your question,
sorry.

First off...Did you have any unprotected
sex after your miscarriage. It is
possible to become firtile again right
after a miscarriage. If that is the case
then it is possible that you maybe going
through a second miscarriage. My advice
would be to go to the Dr. (someone else).
You should not bleed for that long for
any reason at all...Another thing if you
dont mind me asking, how big are the
clots?
Keep us posted
good luck

I agree with last post. After I lost my
pregnancy in mid july, my doctor suggested
that I use protection and not get pregnant
again until I had two full menstral
cycles. I asked why I had to wait and
she said if you get pregnant again right
away you are at much higher risk of a
micarrige.
Also if your doctor isnt compassionate
about your situation then I think it is a
good idea to change doctors.
When I was pregnant the first doctor I
went to was an ass. I was really
emotional that day (duh) and crying some
during my visit- I was just really
overwhwelmed even though I planned to get
pregnant, also I quit smoking cold turkey
so I was a little freaked out. He asked
my 3 times during my visit if I was sure I
didnt want to terminate the pregnancy.
That was my first and last visit with
"dr. Death" as I like to refer to him.
My next doctors office was wonderful, even
though I lost my baby I will go back to
them because they treated me so good.
Good luck to you sweetie. And im so
sorry for your loss. I know it is hell.
