Hi all. Sorry if this ends up long.
My lmp was 7/22, and i got a BFP about 4 wks later, pretty early. At my 8 wk u/s they found out it was a blighted ovum and that I would miscarry. Three weeks later, on Oct. 9, this finally happened. I experienced excrutiating cramping and lots of bleeding and ended up going to the er because they thought i might be hemorraging. A few days later everything was fading away and I felt fine.
Then, two weeks (Oct 24) after my er visit, it all started up again, this time with pain 3 days before there was any blood. I thought it was all done. Anyway the doc put me on misoprostol to kind of finalize things. So I took that, along with my mini pharmacy of pain relievers and was rather sore for a few days afterward but didn't think anything of it. Everything was done now, I could once again return to my real life.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Nope. This past Mon (Nov 3) I started feeling a lot of pain again. I called the doc on tues and he said he thougnt i was fine. I'm sorry I don't understand how 4 weeks of this is fine. Nevertheless, I don't have insurance, so i took his word for it. This time was the worst, for pain and products of conception. I think it's tapering off again, hopefully for the last time.
Has anyone even heard of something like this? I heard they only take about 2 weeks. I'm a college student 2 mos. from graduating, that is if i can get my butt in gear. It just seems every time I start getting back to my life and getting caught up, it knocks me down again, and it's making it really mentally and emotionally difficult to handle this up and down, not to mention the physical effects it's had on me.
From the research I've done, this is not normal, but I don't know what to do. I can't afford a pointless doc visit, so if the doc says i'm ok, I'm inclined to believe him. My professors are starting to think i'm using the situation because it keeps coming back. I don't know what to do. Can anyone relate to this?
