Hi there.  Well, you could call your doctor.  I am wondering if you are actually having a miscarriage.  Women are still fertile in their 40's.  You could also be passing a cyst.  It is painful but common.  I tend to wait a bit myself but if the pain gets intense or the bleeding is worse, I'd make contact with a doctor by either calling or going to be seen.  I think the rule of thumb is if you have blood clots the size of a quarter, you should call.  good luck

Hi Sheila,

Personally, I wouldn't wait it out. I would suggest making an appointment
with your family doctor and telling your doctor what's going on for you.
See what your doctor says. Good luck. Eve
