Is this a miscarriage or is the pregnancy still progressing?

Question

My girlfriend who has been told she was close and at risk for a miscarriage, who is 10 weeks pregnant as of now. has bad pelvic pain and cramping for 2 weeks straight, no bleeding.

One day she spots, (wiped herself and saw blood) red blood. Cramps persist.

Then she starts bleeding for the next 4 days it goes up and down in intensity. At times light and at times kind of heavy. Cramping persists.

Pregnancy symptoms start decreasing.

The 5th day she starts bleeding heavier and the cramps are much worse, she passes chunks of blood, or blood clots at different points during the day.

On the 6th day there is light bleeding with cramping as it has been. On the night of this 6th day, the bleeding stops while the cramps persist.

On the 7th day there is slight cramping and no bleeding.

On the 8th day, there is no cramping and no bleeding.

So why did she stop bleeding? does this mean the miscarriage has happened and is now completed, or rather does it mean it is not going to happen? In other words, is she somehow all of a sudden out of the clear and the miscarriage just stopped and her and the baby is ok and the pregnancy will go on or simply did the miscarriage finish and run its course? Or is there more bleeding to come? thank you and god bless

She says that she doesn't think she miscarried because she still has pregnancy symptoms and because the bleeding stopped.

Answer 1

If she had that much bleeding and clots and cramping it definitely sounds like a miscarriage. She should seek medical help ASAP. She should have been in the ER the first night she started having problems.  

Answer 2

It doesn't sound good. Please go to the ER.

Answer 3

she needs to be seen by a doctor first off cause if she bled that long and passed clots sounds like a miscarriage. she can still have those symptoms after a loss due to the drop in the hormone levels. i still tested positive the week i lost my baby. if she did not pass everything completely however a serious infection can occur and possible fertility problems may arise down the road. she needs an exam and an u/s to see for certain. when i miscarried a year ago i had to have a d& c because not everything passed. get her to a dr asap.

Answer 4

I am so sorry. My guess would be miscarriage. She should seek immediate medical attention. If she had a miscarriage, she needs to be sure all of it passed. It dosent sound like she is pregnant anymore. I have "pregnancy" symptoms for 3-4 days every month before the start of my period. The fact that she is feeling the pregnancy symptoms still, could only be from the fact that she was pregnant. I am so sorry and I wish you and her the best..
