Hi everyone,
This is my first pregnancy and first miscarriage and just wanted a bit of advice...
I had a scan at 6w1d which showed a sac and yolk but no heartbeat. We then had another scan at 7w1 and another at 7w5d which both showed a sac only, so I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage. I opted for the medically managed route as didn't want to wait for it to happen naturally and I decided against the D&C last minute as the sac was only small and didn't want to risk any damage after our journey to get a BFP. I had the pessaries at the hospital on Friday 11th March and was sent straight home to have the miscarriage at home. It began within a couple of hours and was in so much pain and lots of blood for a few hours with a few little clots. Next 2 days bleeding was lighter and I passed a clot as big as my hand. I actually thought oh this isn't that bad..... Then day 5 massive pains again and floods of blood and another couple of massive clots. Called the EPU and they said it sounds ok. Bleeding eased slightly and has been like a normal period amount for about another 11 days. The last 2 days the bleeding has been much lighter but I am in agony with severe cramps! I called NHS direct this morning (as I was ready to go to A&E during the night) and the doctor was rubbish, I was literally on the phone for 1 minute and all he said was take buscopan for the spasms.
I'm not too concerned about the bleeding now as it does finally seem to be easing but is it normal to start cramping this much 17 days after it started?
I feel that this can't be right for just a small sac but I keep being brushed away with its 'normal'....

I cant help at all really, but is NHS Direct the same as calling 111? I work in a GP surgery and I always hear that 111 follow a script because they are not medially trained and after clicking the check boxes they are likely to say to go to CHOC (this is our local out of hours place, I dot know what yours is called though) I wonder if this might be worth a call for you as you might get to see someone in person and get some attention to the pain? I hope someone can advise better x
