Patient's question:
After taking the medication for miscarriage, I haven't had my period for a month. The amount is so little. The first two days, there was only brown discharge, and it didn't come out. Starting from the third day, there were blood clots, and the amount was more, but it only lasted for one day. On the fourth day, it decreased a lot. Today is the seventh day, and it has already stopped. I didn't have a D&C after taking the medication for miscarriage. According to reason, there should have been a lot of blood clots, but why did the amount only increase for one day and then stop?Doctor's answer:
First, the duration of bleeding does not equate to the amount of gestational sac and decidua expelled. In your case, the gestational sac has been expelled. If the decidua detaches completely in one go, it may result in only a short period of heavy bleeding, which will then significantly decrease. If the decidua does not detach completely, the bleeding may last longer, potentially requiring a D&C procedure. If the villi are expelled incompletely, it may lead to heavy bleeding, even posing a life-threatening risk.Second, the thickness of the decidua varies among individuals during early pregnancy, and before 40 days of gestation, the villi are not as extensively attached to the endometrium. Therefore, individuals with thicker decidua may experience longer bleeding periods. Those who are more than 6 weeks pregnant may also have longer bleeding durations.
Furthermore, the response of the decidua to mifepristone varies among individuals. Those who are more sensitive to it tend to have better outcomes with less bleeding. Overall, you may have had a shorter pregnancy duration, thinner decidua, and relatively higher sensitivity to mifepristone, which explains why the treatment was effective.
Of course, it is important to have an ultrasound to check for any residual tissue. I recommend getting one to rule out the possibility of retention.
After finishing the Motherwort Capsules, you can take the Biochemical Formula. They serve a similar purpose, but the former focuses on detoxification and anti-inflammation, while the latter emphasizes blood production and tissue repair.
