Menstruation/Miscarriage?
Question:
Answers:
That's entirely possible, dear. When I miscarried, I actually had that happen, but it was during the miscarriage. It's likely that your regular cycle started up again, and your uterus has cleaned itself out to start over again.
If something like that ever happens again (heaven forbid), you should consider having a D&C done. Obviously, women had miscarriages before doctors, and they were fine, but you should at least be checked out.
OK - I am confused..Did you see your GYN to determine that the baby was not alive? At Four and half months the baby needs to be removed from the mom. You need to see a GYN or go to the ER ASAP.
You probably did expel the baby. Ideally, you should have kept it and taken it to your gyn to be sure. It sounds gross but it's what they actually tell you to do if you are in doubt. Sorry for your loss.
Typically, for a miscarriage that far along you would have a D&C. Why your Ob-Gyn didn't offer that to you I don't know. What pills did he give you to?
Did you have an ultrasound after the one that determined the baby wasn't alive anymore? I would go back to your Ob-Gyn and at least get an ultrasound to see if you did expel ALL the products of conception. And it would be a vaginal ultrasound. It's closer to the uterus and can see more than just from the belly.
April to now is a long time to go without follow-up on this. You really need to go back to see the doctor.
