Questioni lost my baby at 20 weeks gestations, i've been bleeding on and off. bleeding stop at 7 weeks for a few days and it come back again for 14 days. few days later i had a severe cramping all night long, unable to curl up, feels like another contractions. i went to see a dr they told me, it was my 1st time ovulating again, soo its normal to be painfull and dr told me i would have another period again, which i did agust 18, now its sept 1st and i am still bleeding. last week i had a clot. look like a liver, firm and red in color. dr told me it was a blood clot, did an ultrasoound saw something left behind in the utreus. my hcch and rest of bllod work is normal... now they ask me to wait? to let the placenta to come out by itself? or d &c. i am worried about this situation, since i have an endometriosis and only have 1 ovary left.
will the placenta come out by itself naturally?
will my endometriosi come back?
how soon can i conceive again?
thank you
AnswerDear Megan
This is a case of postabortive bleeding and its most common cause is retained products of conception such as a piece of membranes or placenta. This usually needs a surgical interference in the form of curettage. As long as no comlications (no fever)and its sequelae, pregnancy occurs without problems. This have nothing to do with endometriosis.
Good Luck
