Why won't I stop bleeding seven months after miscarriage?

I had a miscarriage in December 2017 at 7 weeks gestational age. I did have retained tissue but it passed and I was given the all clear on January 5th, done so with an Ultrasound. From December until beginning of April 2018 I bled every day with severe pain, the doctors insisted I just had to ride it out. Eventually I was given antibiotics on 23rd April, my period came 25th April. Lasted 4 days. Had some some discharge with blood between then and middle of May but nothing major, 25th May I had second period. Lasted until Wednesday 30th May. No bleeding at all after that until the following Wednesday on June 6th 2018, severe amount of bleeding and oddly now I'm getting sharp pains in left leg and right forearm. Throughout all this I have had severe pain everyday in my tummy that goes up under my ribs on the right hand side and into my back. It is so painful along with nausea and occasional vomiting, I have been getting bad headaches since the miscarriage all of which I never had beforehand. The doctors really don't listen but seven months after a miscarriage surely all this is abnormal? Especially for the fact I was only seven weeks pregnant. I have done a pregnancy test today and multiple times in the past several months all of which were negative. I just feel lost and exhausted please help. And thank you in advance.

I'm sorry for your miscarriage and the problems you're now experiencing. Have you had an ultrasound to see if they can see anything? The fact that you have severe pain that "goes up under my ribs on the right hand side and into my back" sounds like it could be a gallbladder problem but I wouldn't think that would explain the irregular bleeding.

Hope you get answers and relief soon!
