I don't think it would hurt to have an u/s or saline u/s to check things out and would discuss with your RE.


This is also what I was thinking. Have you been back to your OB for an u/s to see if you passed everything? So sorry for your loss.

You may want to make sure you don't have a fibroid. Fibroids can cause miscarriages as well as heavy periods. I would at least ask.

My periods totally changed after my MC. Beforehand they were 2 - 3 days total and pretty light. Now every single period is 5 full days, with 2-3 being really heavy. I have some clots but mostly just really heavy bleeding. This is my 5th period post MC and nothing seems to be changing.

So, maybe things just change afterward.

I'm on my 2nd period post-miscarriage and it is super, super heavy, with both smaller and bigger clots coming out. I know that I passed everything with the miscarriage (it was natural), and my first period after was as expected quite heavy. One last small piece of left behind tissue came out with the first post-miscarriage period. No tissue coming out this time, but lots of clots yesterday...it seems a little more normal now on Day 3, still quite heavy.

Did anyone else have this and do they become more normal/less clotty over time? Is there anything with my lining I should be worried about? My ultrasounds last month they said the lining looked fine, and on my Day 3 this month they said that they see that I'm still shedding lining.
