This is two parts vent mixed with two parts questions/advice seeking, plus one part pity.
In case some of you don't know....I had a mc, which began on June 6th (i was 6wks preg). The MC lasted about 20 days (the first 10 being "heavy"). I saw the "material" that came out so I'm sure it was complete, so to speak.
I got my period (normal AF for me) on July 15th, which lasted about 7-9 days. No problems there....
Then this AM-some light spotting...I thought how strange. But then about a half hour later, BLOOD. And I mean blood. And lots of clots, some larger than a half dollar, most about a quarter or so. But they're not regular clots, they are clearly vlotted blood mixed with tissue....And CRAMPS.....
So I called my MW, she got back to me about an hour later, told me it was probably normal, no big deal, etc. That's not what I mind. I mind that she didn't tell me why in the heck I would have had a normal AF in between...why there would be so much tissue, if I passed the baby and lots of tissue in early June...Why I didn't have any physical signs that there was material left....She doesn't seem concerned that I am soaking a heavy tampon and partially soaking a pad (at the same time) within about 45 min...
I'm thinking about going to the hospital, but I don't know if I should...I mean, I'm bleeding a lot. And the clots or whatever are VERY large (and getting larger each time I check). I'm just so afraid of jeopardizing my future fertility (by hemorrhage, infection, etc)...
What do you guys think?? Did this ever happen to you? please gimme advice, I know you aren't doctors or MWs, but I need to know-is this truly normal?? All the web sites I've checked don't mention getting a normal period, then resuming the MC almost a full month after it started!??!
TIA,
Kelly
PS-This is the same MW that didn't so much as say "I'm sorry for your loss" when I started crying at the post MC check up....she was very clinical and matter-of-fact. In fact, she didn't even mention the MC at all, except to ask if I saw the materials and was sure they were expelled....She treated the whole visit like it was a regular anual check up! She's new in the practice, and I will be writing to my "usual" MW about her.
