a lot of clots
I had my d&c on 16th feb and i think everything went ok. Had a bit of light bleeding after the op, brown blood sunday and brown blood monday.
Iv been getting quite a few cramps and sharp pains in my lower abdomen and some dull achey pains in my pubic bone and today iv had quite a bit of red blood. Its not as much as a period but has been accompanyed with alot of cramping making me feel incredibly low.
I was just sitting down and went to move slightly and i felt my sanitry towel fill up so i went to the toilet and there was quite a large lump of blood. I changed my towel and as i was doing this about 7-8 more clumps came out which has scared me quite a bit.
Im not sure if anymore clumps are coming out as im trying not to move as much. The cramping seems to have calmed down a bit i hope.
I was wandering if any of this is meant to happen coz im getting quite worried. This is my second miscarriage and so is my second d&c and the last one i only bled brown blood and didnt have any cramping at all.
could i be feeling worse as it is my second and the tissue inside me is more tender???
Any answers would be grately appreciated

So sorry to hear this has happened to you - I had a mc in Oct so understand how awful it is. xx
I had my blood pressure and temperature taken, i had some blood taken aswel. I had some swabs done and an internal examination where a clot came out and the doctor looked at it. I think it was all blood and no tissue.
The doctor said i could stay in over night or go home but i chose to go home. Iv been booked in for a scan on thursday and iv also been given a course of antibiotics.
The doctor said it could be one of two things, either an infection or there has been some bits left behind.
Ill let you know what happens on thursday.
She said that i wont have to have another d&c which is good as i really really dont want another one as it would have been my third d&c in 11 months which i dont think is good for the body.
The doctor said that it should come out naturally and will probably break up and come out in small clumps again. Im still bleeding so thats good aswel and im taking antibiotics to prevent any infection.
Im going back for a scan on the 3rd of march so hopefully all will be well and the clot will come out by itself!
I was apparently scanned in theatre to ensure nothing was left behind at the timeof my d&c. The gyny team are there to help so whenever you are unsure or as I was pretty frightened, they were friendly anad very supportive.
