how long should pain and bleeding be after a miscarraige?

[dresha]

I was 13weeks and 5days when i miscarried last thursday. I delivered the baby and the placenta, but when i went to the doc the next day i was impformed that some of the tissue was still There.  I was given the option of a D&C,  or to let it come out on its own, i opted the natural way. It has been a week and im still bleeding, and having bad cramps. what should i do, and will this affect my chances of getting pregnant again? HELP ANYONE!

Aw I am sorry for your loss.  I think it's okay to wait it out but I'm sure they will do a follow up in a couple of weeks to do an u/s to make sure all the tissue is gone (if not, I would ask for one) And as far as I know...it shouldn't affect being able to conceive again.  Take care and feel free to chat with me anytime

I'm sorry for your loss. I too would def follow up with your dr. After I had my d and e I ended up with a d and c because I thought the bleeding and clotting was normal. I had complications etc. I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes to you! I'm here if you need to talk!

Thanks for all the responces. I feel a lil bit better now, im still having my lil cramping spells. Some times  they're really bad, but i manage. This whole ordeal has been very stressful. I will always remember my unborn child that I lost, but im just ready for this all to be over. the pain is a constant reminder of what i went through tha day.

I started to m/c last Thurs with the majority finally making it out by Sat.  Since then I've had mild cramping and moderate bleeding.  From what the nurse at the hospital told me, the uterus will continue to bleed until everything is out.  Then it will stop and heal up.  If you don't have a fever, indicating infection, you should be ok.  Have your Dr. double check for you if you are unsure.  The thing you want to avoid is infection.  I'm sorry to hear about your loss.  I understand how you're feeling.  I'm sure you're ready for this to be over.  I know I am.

Hey there,  I think as long as you don't have any complications or other issues, you really should not have any trouble conceiving in the future.  One of the complications can be an infection which can lead to other issues.  Call your doctor immediately to make sure your bleeding and cramping at this point is nothing to be worried about.  He/she is the only one who can answer this for you.  But I am sure as long as they are monitoring you, you will be fine.  I understand that the bleeding from a miscarriage can last up to two weeks.

Good luck.   Blessings.   Kris.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, you have my deepest sympathy.
With my first m/c at 9 weeks I miscarried most of the tissue on my own.  I went to see the Dr for an u/s about 1 day after passing most of the pregnancy and she saw some small amount of tissue so she gave me a pill to clean out the balance because I refused a D&C.
If I were you I would call your Dr and ask for a follow up u/s as soon as possible to make sure you are healing.
As long as you get a transvaginal u/s and your Dr confirm it is back to normal size and healing properly - you should have no problem ttc again.
I wish you the best.
