[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, OP.

I am 41-years-old and found out at 10 weeks that my pregnancy was not viable. Started spotting and miscarried (mostly) within 5-6 days. Lots of cramps, spotting, blood for a few days. One calm day, followed by a full day spent in bed with cramps, next morning I felt great, but had what felt like a contraction and lost the sac.

However, it is now 5 weeks later and I am STILL spotting with occasional tissue-like material appearing. My doctor says it is not ideal, but not completely abnormal and since I don't seem to have any evidence of an infection we are just letting it ride for another week or so. She says to expect a very heavy menstrual period and hopefully all will return to normal after that and we can get back to trying again.

My previous miscarriage was earlier (6-7 weeks) and basically like a very heavy, slightly longer than normal period ... nothing like this one. Prior to that, I did have a D & C which is something I'd like to avoid if possible.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for posting.  I'm sorry you're going through this.  One miscarriage is rough, but another one is so disheartening.  I, like you, really want to avoid a second D&C.  But your doctor seems much more open to that than mine.  I feel like he keeps pushing one.

Did your doctor say what signs to look for for infection?  [/quote]
