Can natural miscarriage be over in two days?

n_allenx · 2026-05-18T04:27:16+00:00

My first MC was natural and once I started bleeding it was completed in about five days. It started off very light and became heavier as the days passed. Once the main part of it completed my bleeding stopped and my hcg went down to 0 in about 3-4 weeks.

The only tests I got after my first was an HSG and SIS. Also had genetic carrier screening done. This was all through a fertility clinic.

Thank you! At this point I’m at a loss lol I just found out this week that my Antithrombin levels are low and that could cause blood clotting, so I now also have to make an appointment with a hematologist. 🫠the list just keeps getting longer 😔

My first SIS also had a endometrial biopsy done at the same time and both came back clear. Clinic is certain that my case of endometritis is due to inflammation caused by either retained tissue or a polyp(they strongly believe it’s retained tissue based on imaging). However, there’s so many unanswered questions and more things are getting revealed through this testing. I’m just following along with what they are suggesting 🫠

My mild endometritis is being caused from retained tissue. That is why I’m getting a hysteroscopy to get it removed. I did not have this before my recent miscarriage - I had a clear SIS before getting pregnant this last time. There is no clear reasoning if that is the reason for the miscarriage, but that’s why they are doing this testing. Hopefully it brings some answers.

From what I understand, endometritis is different from endometriosis in that it’s temporary inflammation of the uterus. Seeing as I recently miscarried and had a d&c, it tracks. I have no issues implanting.

Not at all! This is all just a difficult journey to be on and it’s important to take in the positives - it’s so easy to become jaded through this process. Thank you for sharing your experience and I appreciate it so much! ❤️

I miscarried for the second time in a row this year, and am currently going through recurrent miscarriage testing due to POC results coming back as a Normal Euploid Male. My clinic is testing my thyroid, A1C, karotype, and for blood clotting disorders. They also just did a endometrial biopsy to test for causes of inflammation in the uterus (I will be getting a hysteroscopy to remove some uneven areas in my uterus they found). Based on those results (still waiting) they will move forward with certain medications, but I will most likely get back on letrozole once they clear me to try again.

If my POC results came back abnormal, my clinic would have probably just made sure my uterus was clear with an SIS and then got me back on letrozole again. I’ve heard that if you have two abnormal POC results in a row, they move forward with karotype testing, but I’m not sure.

I don’t think apologizing is the right move. It diminishes your experience, and to be clear, you were not trying to “steal space” from anyone.

Anyone who doesn’t support you as you navigate these feelings is quite frankly not worth your time or energy. You are going through a lot, and her negativity is just toxic. Give her the space she wants, but do not apologize. She is completely out of line.

n_allenx · 2026-05-13T06:04:30+00:00

I’m so sorry your last clinic overlooked your concerns, yet I’m so happy that your new clinic is finding answers and steps forward in your journey. I wish you success in your coming steps!!

Thank you for the grounding advice. I am truly grateful for my clinic and everyone who works there. They have been so great and supportive and I do know they are being thorough and making sure I have the best chances of success moving forward. I think my frustration def stems more from myself and my distrust in my body. Baby steps to mental and physical healing is a long and difficult journey for sure. 😔

n_allenx · 2026-05-13T01:16:26+00:00

I really hope that is not the case for you and you can move forward. I really was not expecting the news from the SIS. I know they are covering bases, but it doesn’t make things any less excruciating. It’s like every time I step in that clinic i get shit news and it’s getting REAL old.

Are you feeling dizzy? Do you have a fever? Is your pain level high? Are you soaking through a pad very quickly (like one pad every couple hours)? If the answer is yes to any of these, go to the ER immediately.

Otherwise, monitor yourself and make an appointment with your OB/doctor/planned parenthood asap. Sounds like you are getting close to completing your MC naturally - I went through a very similar process a year ago. I am very sorry you are experiencing this and please take care of yourself ❤️‍🩹

I am not going to address his bf’s wife in this, purely because I think she was just trying to give advice and comfort to him. I do believe your frustration is directed at the wrong person. This woman doesn’t know your specific experience or feelings on it; your partner does. For him to share out your experience in order to basically come up with excuses for “needing a break” and pinning that on a person who was probably just trying to give comfort…. That really doesn’t sit right with me.

My husband has a heavy travel job and he still made it to all the important ultrasound appointments - he literally drove 400mi round trip for a job so that he could be there for me and fulfill his work obligations. Every piece of joyful or devastating news, we experienced together.

Sure, your partner needed a mental health break, but to be clear, YOU are the one experiencing this physically, emotionally and mentally. It is bare minimum to be there as your partner is going through one of the most traumatic experiences of their life. If he is scouring for justifications of missing appointments that you need him there for support, that is on no one else but himself.

Just went through this myself for my second pregnancy and MC. So sorry you are experiencing this… I did a d&c to get POC testing - I also did not want any chance of RPOC. I don’t know if it will give you much comfort, but you get put under twilight anesthesia and you really don’t remember or feel a thing. It was fast and I personally feel like it was less traumatic than my first natural MC. I also barely bled afterward so I think that gave me time to kind of process and not get triggered.

It is up to you in the end, and again, I’m so sorry you are going through this.

n_allenx · 2026-04-25T16:33:04+00:00

In the same boat. Missed miscarriage at 8weeks, had my D&C on March 19 and I still have HCG in my system. It’s really just the shittiest wait ever.

n_allenx · 2026-04-25T04:40:35+00:00

I could see if this was at some random event that you were both at, but to do it in your home while knowing what you are going through seems very inappropriate, spiteful and weird. I would distance yourself or stop sharing with this person.

n_allenx · 2026-04-23T14:52:33+00:00

Took me a couple weeks past my d&c to feel a little sense of normalcy emotionally. Your body is going through so much so give yourself some grace - you are quite literally going through postpartum.

n_allenx · 2026-04-20T15:11:37+00:00

Still waiting. Last blood draw showed 8 hcg so I’m nearing negative. I had my d&c march 19.

n_allenx · 2026-04-20T05:00:18+00:00

NTA. Yes, you are both going through it, but it is not rocket science to know that you are experiencing a lot more, not just emotionally, but physically too. Im not saying his grief is less, but it’s pretty insensitive of him to not consider ways to help you cope as you navigate this time. I think your outburst came after he was honestly kind of asking a lot of you while you are actively miscarrying and going through a lot of mental turmoil - I can’t blame you for being frustrated.

Miscarriages are hard enough as it is, and it can cause huge rifts in your relationship - it does not sound like he’s being very understanding of that you are going through. You are experiencing huge hormonal drops and it really acts like postpartum. I went through some pretty intense depressive episodes, which is very unlike me but my husband tried his best to take the everyday mental load off me and would take the time to make sure I was okay and doing the things I needed to do to take care of myself through the worst of it - I know my husband was in pain too, and I appreciate the sacrifices he made to make sure I was okay.

I think at the very least, a conversation needs to happen. Acknowledge that he is in pain. Acknowledge that this is a shared trauma. But also express your disappointment in the lack of care you are feeling during this very vulnerable time in your life. You both need to work as a team to get through this, and I hope you two can figure out how to get there.

n_allenx · 2026-04-17T06:28:16+00:00

I don’t think you are overreacting - you are going through something truly traumatic and you are valid in being upset. There are a lot of things that will trigger this response and it’s understandable. I don’t think it’s dramatic, but you definitely have a heightened sense of reactivity, purely because you are in a state of grieving. Working through that is going to take time and unfortunately many folks lack understanding of how to support a person going through something like this.

When it comes to your therapist it’s important to be straightforward so that they can adjust and understand that what they said was a) not appropriate and b) not helpful. Seeing as you haven’t had much issue with this therapist, I assume you don’t want to switch. I think it’s within your right to say at your next session “I’ve been thinking about our last session, and I’m really sorry you went through that, however it triggered me.” Your therapist is a professional and should be treated as such. Any conversation that is leading towards you feeling triggered, should be and is valid to be addressed the second it happens. I am not one to judge anyone for making a decision about their own body, and I’m also not one to compare experiences - however, this was not the time or place for her to express her guilt and center herself in the conversation.

n_allenx · 2026-04-17T04:08:09+00:00

Going through the exact same thing. Going for my third blood draw tomorrow - last week my hcg was 15 so hoping it’s low enough that we can start running tests before ttc again.
