Thread: I'm getting scared, can you help?

My period started 28 days ago, and is still going. Everytime I think it is going to end, I start cramping again, and the bleeding gets heavier. My husband and I lost our baby at 21 weeks last November, so I'm sure that the bleeding should have subsided by now. Every month since we lost her, my period last for at least three weeks. This month is totally non stop, and the cramping is getting to be very uncomfortable. I don't understand why it won't stop. Last night, I really thought my period was over, until I woke up this morning to very dark fresh red blood. My doctor says this is normal after miscarrying. Any ideas? I really don't think it should last this long. Has anyone else gone through something like this? Any ideas/suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

I think I would get a second opinion.

I had a miscarriage about 15 years ago. Wasn't quite as far along as you were, only 12 weeks but my doctor suggested I have a DNC the next day to "clean out" any thing left behind as he said it could possibly cause infection and it would stop any bleeding. I had it done and I didn't experience any bleeding.
