miscarriage

by chloe1014, Aug 05, 2007 12:00AM
S/P miscarriage last Saturday and the last three days my vaginal area is very itchy and today I noticed discharge mixed in with blood. Is it possible I have a yeast infection or bacterial. I have been spotting the whole time. I saw my OBGYN Thursday and since she did the exam with ultrasound I felt and Irritation down below that now feels like a yeast infection????????????????

Hello,

I'd recommend you see your ob/gyn and have him or her evaluate you for a possible yeast infection or another cause of vaginitis.  Alternatively, if you are convinced it is a yeast infection (from past experience) you could try an over-the-counter monistat cream and see if your symptoms improve.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

If you were only 5 weeks pregnant when you miscarried you shouldn't have been producing milk yet.  All that aside...it can take up to 8 wks for the HCG levels in your body to go down after a miscarriage.  It's very common to have a positive pregnancy test in that timeframe post m/c

So sorry to post a question here.  I am very concerned and need your thoughts.  I had a miscarriage on June 11th and a D&C performed the same day.  About four wks later I started to get brown spotting which came light at first and then w/clots .  That went on for about two wks.  Went in to see the doc., she told me it was probably my period coming back. Two days later, started my period, it lasted for eleven days.  Went in again, they told me after miscarriage it takes time for body to go back to normal.  Now, a wk and a half later started bleeding again.  Please, someone make me feel better.

Hello, I miscarriaged the beginnig of March 2007 I was 7 weeks pg.  Ever since then my periods have been so irregular, I got my period on April 7, May 18th, June 18th , July 23rd and August 20th.  We have been trying since June and we still aren't pregnant? Could it still be that my body is not ready due to my cycles are still not normal?   I am worring that it may never happen.  If someone can help me & give me some hope I could really use it.
Thanks! ~~~*babydust*~~~

I miscarried on Aug. 8th at 5 weeks. Apparently called a chemical pregnancy, anyway I am still spotting off and on is that normal?

Did you find anything out? Did you really miscarry or just threatened?

I took a home Preg Test on Friday Aug 17 and it came back positive.  Well when I woke up Mon morning I was bleeding a little bit, so I called my OB/Gyn and they told me to go to the Er since I am Rh- because the ER would be able to get my test back sooner and I could get my Rhogam shot there.  So at the ER they did all my blood work and a vaginal ultrasound.  My Hcg levels were around 21,000+ and my ultrasound measured at exactly 6weeks 0days, but they could not detect a heartbeat.  I made an appointment with my OB on Thurs Aug 23rd and she did a pelvic exam and my cervix
