I have recently had a miscarriage and did not receive a dnc. I want to know if it's normal to still be bleeding very heavy and passing blood clots after 6 days. How much bleeding is too much?

First let me say that I am sorry for your loss. It must be quite hard.

It can be quite common to bleed for up to 2 weeks after a miscarriage. I am curious why you did not receive a D&C. How often are you soaking a pad? If it is one pad per hour or two, you need to visit your doctor.

Do you have a visit scheduled already? If not, you should. If there is any tissue left, it does need to be removed so as to avoid sepsis.
