Bleeding never stops
Hi all, I'm new to here. Glad I found this forum but I don't find similar cases like me. Basically I was dignosed with ectopic pregnancy, but I have different symtoms like others. Below is my timeline:
12/15/2010 - TTC
12/27/2010 - Period (but afterwards I realised it's not a true period)
1/72011 - Went for vacation with hubby and planned to TTC
1/8/2011 - spotting
1/12/2011 - Back from vacation without sex at all, and still spotting
1/14 - First time seeing gyn, urine test positive, beta 643, nothing found in u/s, still spotting
1/17 - Second beta just to confirm if it is growing, result was 710, yes it is growing, nothing found under ultrasound, still spotting
1/19 - Third beta to check any ectopic possibility, result was 776, not good, had metho, start bleeding
1/24 - First time checking beta after metho, result was 805, gyno said it's fine when growing slightly, bleeding with clots
1/29 - Sac came out, it was sized like an egg! Still bleeding but with less clots
1/31 - Second beta after metho, result 633, it's coming down, still bleeding with less clots
2/17 - Third beta after metho, result 188, it's like a relif! Slightly heavier than spotting in dark red
2/21 - Had my first Chinese medical treatment, had acupunture shrink the uterus and push the "old blood" away. Also received 5 days Chinese medicine: 2 days of clearing blood, 3 days of building new blood. However, still bleeding after the treatment.
2/28 -Second Chinese medical treatment, received another 5 days medicine, all related to strengthen blood, kidney, liver and uterus. Still bleeding
3/1 - Heavier bleeding in bright red
3/2 - Heavy bleeding in bright red, just like an ordinary period, and I had all symtoms like breast pain, abdomin pain, insomia, emotion changes
3/3 - Heavy bleeding in bright red (strange is I usually have so much big clots in period, but this time with very little and smaller clots)
3/4 - Still bleeding, but coming down
3/5 - Still bleeding, colour getting darker
3/6 - Still bleeding, colour getting darker
3/7 - Fourth beta draw, result 2, yippie! But still bleeding. Also had u/s that blood/fluid still in uterus and abdomin. Woke up with no blood, but bleeding after few hours working.
3/8 - Woke up with no blood, but bleeding after few hours working, less amount than 3/7
3/9 - Woke up with no blood, start having brown mucus and very very small amount of blood
3/10 - Woke up with no blood, still with brown mucus but no red thing coming out
3/11 - No blood still, but a brown clot came out in evening
3/12 - Brown mucus
3/13 - Brown mucus, and I started to take Chinese medicine again
3/14 - Red mucus, NO, red returns!!!
3/15-17 - Red mucus and blood alike came out.
Thanks for reading this long timeline. As you may be realised my question is, why am I bleeding, for so so long?! I asked my gyn yesterday, she said this on and off bleeding is very normal, because hormone isn't stable, and it will be unstable for a while. She has no comment about the Chinese medication which may interfere a bit (no research if it is a good way or bad way). I have no doubt on this but I just can't see the end of sight. I wish I can be like of you, having shorter bleeding days. Please please stop.....
Does anyone experience the same? I feel so alone as most of the metho treats took one or two months to heal with regular ovulation, while mine is not ending....

Thank you for the info, I'm going on day 63, and like I said before on and off again, today it was very brown and a few small clots have been passing. My mom is a nurse and she thinks I may have to have a D&C to get everything cleared up. I don't see my Dr. till next week, but I am hoping he can give me some pills to maybe inflict my period to come. Did your specialist say anything about having old blood and very tiny clots at this stage? I am concerned now, since I really don't want to have another D&C.
Hi ladies, I found a website which is about expecting period after miscarriage. Hope it is useful. http://www.*************.info/waitingforaf.htm
The first ovulation test was done on 19 March, the day when it actually stopped bleeding. The test showed a fainted line. I kept trying again until 22 Mar, it showed thicker line and slightly darker. My doctor told me to treat it as a positive result.
I dunno how ovulation feels like, not even from the past 20 years. But the result tells me that I should expect af on 5 April. We'll see.

Similar to your case.
I was bleeding for 71 continuous days. It was actually becoming very light at the end of feb which I thought was ending within days, but it turned heavy on 2 March and it became like a normal period in the next 5 days. I thought that was really it, it should be ending, but it wasn't until another 10 days. Those 10 days was a nightmare! It wasn't a heavy flow, but discharging with brown and red mucus (sorry tmi).
It was indeed confusing. I was told by my Chinese medical doctor that that could be a true period. May be it was just words to comfort. Anyways, it's ended 2 weeks ago. I'm expecting a true period to arrive on 5 April.

thats what happened to me, i'm happy that it stopped. I feel like me again (?before i got pregnant). a question for you v110617, you mean the ovulation tests right or is there something else. i was going to pick a box of the ovulation kits today but realized that i felt like i was back to normal. I know i'm ovulating right now cause i have the regular symptoms. i didnt see my gyn. last time when i talked to him 2 weeks ago he told me that it could have been that it was taking my body a while to get back on to its normal cycle on its own thats probably why it finally stoppes. i even started doing some exercise the other day to see if it made a difference, it might have helped. I'm just curious now, with me finally getting back on track, am i still fertile enough to get pregnant right away. this was my first and i'm trying to keep track of everything to make sure i dont go through this again!
I'm glad to hear that sweetpie01, I thought mine was complete as well- bleeding stopped for a week then the day my period was due the spotting started back up? I went to the doctor checked all levels everything is good. I had two episodes of a brief period as well, literally it came I wiped (sorry for the detail) and it left back to spotting. I am so confused, I feel helpless.
@ V110617, did any of this type of thing occur with you? Bleeding stopped completely for 8 days, then came back at time of period? I'm lost !
Thanks again ladies!
