Never felt so low
Hi Gemma, firstly I am really sorry to hear about the m/c and the way in which you were treated. i know that at the moment it doesnt help but try and be +ve that the clomid is working, not that the thought takes anything away from the pain. Like claire21 I am really worried about you and think that you must see another (female maybe?) doctor. (if you cant face this how about calling NHS direct, they can give you advice and I think they will recommend that you see a doc who will then have to listen to you as you were told to go there by NHS direct, I have found docs helpful after being referred their by the helpline.) I had a m/c in Nov 04 when I was 16 weeks and although my baby was removed in hospital so different to your situation i didnt suffer from cramps for very long after I lost the baby and within 3 weeks I had stopped bleeding, so I am worried that you have been bleeding for so long. I was offered to see a m/c councellor who was very helpful so it might be worth asking to see one. We are all here to help it might be worth looking at the you are not alone thread. take care and keep in touch xx

I didn't bleed that much to be honest and I only had cramps for the first few days when I was actually miscarrying. I have had slight bleeding since then, but only very slight and this is due to a small blood clot behind my cervix, so i have been told.
It is really worrying when you are just sent home and don't know what to expect, and I was in exactly the same situation. It ended up with me constantly worrying and becoming obsessive looking on the internet trying to find the answers!!
After one of the many visits back to the doctors and hospital, I was offered the opportunity to speak to the bereavement midwife. I saw her last week and it really helped. Although you were only a few weeks along and you didn't know until you were miscarrying, I would really recommend going to see someone like that.
I would definitely go back to the doctors and dont take no for an answer. Only you know your own body and you know yourself if something is not quiet right!! Keep going on and on until you get the answers and treatment that you need otherwise you will worry constantly. Believe me I did!!
Take care. Kelly xx
I am so sorry to hear about your M/C. I to lost my baby in january , I was 8 weeks gone. I was offered a d & c though but they did tell me if I bled for to long I should come back as there might be an infection. I think you should see someone else for advice or speaking to someone, is there a different hospital or doctor that you can see? You need this sorted out asap, bleeding for that long cant be good for anyone. All the best.
