Thank you for all of your input. It is good to know that other doctors agree and think that this is not abnormal. UPDATE....I finally stopped bleeding on Sunday 4/20/08, 12 1/2 weeks after the miscarriage D&C. The bleeding lasted from 1/24/08 to 4/20/08.
I had a m/c on 10/27 and bleed from that day til 12/30 and the dr told me 2 that it was normal
I can relate to your story. I had my miscarriage 8 1/2 weeks ago... had to have a D&E since I didn't start bleeding on my own. I was almost 11 weeks pregnant and went in for sonogram and there was no heartbeat. Since I had the D&E on February 22nd, I have continued to have brown spotting, some days heavier then others. I think I did have a period about 2 1/2 weeks ago, since the blood turned red, but within a few days went back to brown spotting again. My doctor also seems to think it's normal and wants to give it one more cycle before doing any additional tests. I know exactly how you feel, it's like a never ending nightmare!!!
Thank you for your advice. I just recently called another doctor that specializes in fertility, miscarriages, etc. to possibly get a second opinion on what's going on. My OB seems to think that this new cycle of heavy bleeding is another period (last suspected period was 2 weeks ago and was very heavy as well...I had a 5 day break of very light brown spotting until yesterday morning). My OB is hoping that in 6 to 7 days it will stop. I will keep my fingers crossed.
I'm so sorry for your loss, your body will get back on track eventaully, every women is different but 12 weeks does seem like a long time, I can't give much advice, maybe try a different Dr?
