I was diagnosed with complete molar where the sac is disfigured and there was never a fetus. My gynecologist thought I would miscarry without having to have the D&C and sure enough I did. I started bleeding and five days later I actually miscarried. I saw it and it definitely was the sac. A day later I am still bleeding not too heavy, but clots the size of quarters and sometimes bigger. not constantly, but not just a few. Is this normal. I did clot before the actualy miscarriage, but I am still clotting. My cramping went away right after I miscarried. Sorry...just a little scared and tired!!

I miscarried on August 28th, and I am still clotting/spotting. My Dr. didn't seem to concerned with it. I would give it a few more days and then call your Dr if you are still concerned.

No this isn;t normal. The clotting proves that there is still tissue there and I was told anything the size of a 10p or bigger (same size as a quarter) needs to be mentioned and investigated. I have been told this after labour and also after two miscarriages. I did end up having a D&C the day after my last miscarriage though as through scan it was determined I had retained tissue and my womb was still filled with blood. It would be worth mentioning if nothing else but if it is retained tisue causing the clotting it can develop into an infection.
