How do you know when MC has actually happened?
I've been bleeding since Sunday, scan on Tuesday showed my cervix was still closed. Passed a couple of clots today, but I know after the actual MC you can bleed up to 2 weeks. All I know is what the nurse told me is that you can feel quite unwell and possibly faint. |

| I think that's a hard question and the only way to know for sure would be bloods to check your hcg levels. I've had a normal natural miscarriage and an ectopic and both of those were just like a heavy period really. Even though I had nasty drugs for the ectopic I never felt unwell or faint. I was actually perfectly fine apart from period like cramp but my hcg returned to 0. |

| Thanks kebabkat, I rang the clinic this morning, my hCG kevels were down to 800 on Tuesday from 910 on Friday. They suggested to see how I go over the weekend and have bloods done again on Monday. |

I bleed for two weeks then a week latter the proper clots and things came, you need to just keep looking at levels and wait. It makes it very hard waiting  ------------- [URL=http://lilypie.com][IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/TikiPic.php/0UKrA9O.jpg][IMG]http://lb2f.lilypie.com/0UKrp12.png][/URL] |
