Hi everyone I’m on day 17 of my miscarriage journey bleeding had slowed down completely to almost a stop and blood had turned darker in colour making me think it might finally be resolving but today I’ve just started bleeding heavily with horrific period pains and fresh red blood, with clots, I’m in so much pain. Is this normal? Did anyone else experience a painful first period after? X

Have you had a negative test? As If not it won’t be a period yet it could be retained tissue xx
No they told me wait 4 weeks. I just couldn’t believe the amount of bleeding and the pain. I didn’t even have that when the miscarriage happened and how it went from nearly completely stopping to having to change my pad every 30 mins. Also are you allowed to wear tampons?

No technically during the miscarriage they discourage tampons. If the bleeding is soaking through a heavy pad twice in less than hour then I've been told to get help. Especially if it lasts over 2 hours

That’s what I was like. And I had retained tissue at 8 weeks, can you get a scan?
