Pink/gray mass came out during my period, accompanied by sever cramps & now heavy bleeding?
Question:
I recently was pregant (April-July2006), but had to have a D&C due to a missed-miscarriage.
I was told to wait 1 cycle, (Aug 19th). I was very ill during that time, & decided to wait. (lamb skin condoms)
So to now, I am normally on a 28-30 day cycle, and this time I was late by a week & 1/2. But I started on Tuesday, Sept 26th. I had lots of cramping. So bad I needed IBprofin, and a heating pad to sleep (one dose a day) only at night.
So last night, I was using the restroom at 5:30pm, and something unnormal popped out/came out/expelled from within.
It was not a blood clot. This was pinkish-grey, it looked like a walnut, or a brain, like muscle tissue. Now I'm changing pads every 3 hours, and more cramps. It freaking me out.
I called my OBYGN's on call nurse who said "Its a blood clot & not to worry". Well being smart I saved it. I took it to my doc today, they will be doing tests on it.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Help me!
Answers:
Sounds like you just experienced an early, spontaneous miscarriage. By the info you provided, you must have been about 5-to-5 1/2 weeks along [or 3-to-3 1/2 weeks of embryonic gestational age]. At this stage, the gestational sac and rudimentary placenta would be just as you described in appearance and color, about the size of a grape. Inside, the tiny embryo would've been barely visible to the naked eye, about the size and shape of a comma. The doctor will most likely send the specimen to a pathological laboratory, where a Pathologist will make a microscopic analysis of the tissues and either confirm or rule out a miscarriage. In the meantime, if pain persists and is not relieved by OTC medications, bleeding becomes heavier [you soak more than a regular sanitary pad every hour], you develop a fever or experience chills, or there is any kind of foul-smelling discharge coming out of your vagina, don't wait. Go to an emergency room STAT and ask that your Gynecologist be contacted; these are common signs of an incomplete miscarriage [meaning that some gestational tissue is still inside your uterus, and it will have to be removed by means of a D&C; you might also need to be treated with antibiotics to prevent complications due to infection]. Hope that everything turns out for the best and that my advice has been of help and comfort to you.

Well, I could be wrong, but this sounds like a miscarriage. All women experience miscarriages in different ways, but severe cramping, heavy bleeding, and the grayish "muscle-like" tissue that was expelled all sound like common symptoms of a miscarriage. I hope I helped.
