Ghost or anyone else. Still spotting after Miscarriage, help

Post by WeHaveHope »

Quick question that I would like to run by you. As all of you may or may not know I suffered a MC a little over a month ago. The bleeding from the MC only lasted one day. I presumably had my AF a few weeks later and I recall it being quite heavy and painful. It lasted about 7 days and then stopped. However, I have been, I guess spotting, on and off since then. I've gone from very dark brown discharge to pink discharge to red discharge. Sorry for TMI. I would call it discharge because I don't really even think you would consider it spotting. I am worried now because I have been on the Lupron for a week and I am still on the extra week of BCP's but still experiencing the discharge as I discribed above. My last BCP will be on the September 7th. I am due to have my blood work and Ultrasound on September 12th with or without AF but at this point I think it's going to be difficult for me to even identify the first day of my cycle (AF) because of the continued bloody discharge. I guess I should be able to identy AF once the flow actually starts (so day 2 or 3). I will call my RE tomorrow but has anyone experience anything like this before? Should I be worried that my uterus may not be ready to start this next cycle? I appreciate any feedback you may have. Thank you as always.

Be sure to let your RE know, like you said. It does not sound that unusual.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Quick update,
I spoke to my RE today. He is now definantely somewhat concerned about the continuous bloody discharge or spotting I have had for about a month since my last AF. He is afraid that I may still have some "product of conception" left over that is causing the continuous bleeding. Although he did say that he thought that is this was that case that it is probably very minimal because there is no pregnancy hormone (Hcg) being produced as evidenced by my most recent zero Beta. He said that he feels confident and hopeful that with this next AF that everything left over from the MC will be expelled. However he was quite clear that if after this next AF and once I start on the Estrogen patches that if the bleeding continues he will recomended to hold off on the FET and to do a D&C. Urg... I can't imagine waiting even longer for the FET but I completely understand where he is coming from. If my body has not been able to get rid of everything it needs to after the MC then my endometrium would not be in any condition for a transfer much less implantation of my embies. Ahhh, I hate this IVF rollercoaster. If it's not one thing it another. I know he is right and I have to trust what he says. Like he said, he is hopeful that with this next AF everything will be cleared out but we will just have to wait and see. He said that one way or another we should probably know for sure by the end of next week since I should start the Estrogen Patches on Monday night. So many unknowns! All I have left is to trust in God, believe that what is best is what will happen, and have faith that everything will be ok.
