A little freaked *TMI*

Okay so most know I had my sweet angel Isabelle May 3rd born sleeping at 38 weeks because of Anencephaly.  About mid May I started the birth patch Ortho Evra.  And friday I had a colposcopy (my 2nd since I've had one before) and they took about 2 biopsies.  The doctor said that she gave me something to clot the blood and that the blood might look like charcoal.

Well fast forward today, a little bit ago I went to wipe and I got two clot looking things the size of quarters.  It looked like a charcoal clump in a sack, the first was broken a bit but the 2nd looked in tact.  It really freaked me out, I just kept staring at them.  I never had that with my last colposcopy.  Anyone know if thats normal?  And since I'm still new to the birth patch I'm freaking out if it could have possibly been a miscarriage.  I've never had a miscarriage or anything wrong before Isabelle.  And my next question is should I call my doctors tomorrow and tell them what happened?  And who would I call my OB/GYN or my family doctor?  And I was planning on taking an all day trip tomorrow and now I'm not sure if I should or not.  Please someone help me be less freaked out.

 I'm not sure...did you keep the clots? Can you take a hpt? If that's pos then I'd think that is a possibility.....if not, then probably not....I know after my MC I tested pos on hpt after my D & C for about a week...I'd pee on a stick and go from there..Sorry you've had a scare...that would freak me out too!

I agree. Also, I was on the patch briefly in college and had a bunch of weird bleeding. Nothing exactly like you describe but it could be a combination of the patch and the coluposcopy.

Call your ob/gyn nurse. It will atleast put you at ease. What is a birth patch? Never heard of it before. ((hugs))

No I didn't.  I thought about it but I thought it would be weird too.  I will try and take an hpt tomorrow.  And if its positive I think I'll go cry :(

 I'd cry too...rightfully so, but at least you might know what's going on or it could just be weird side effects from the colonoscopy....hugs....I'd pee on the stick for you but I don't think it would help much!  :(

I think it may be due to the procedure. Good luck and thinking of you

:( I dunno. I had that procedure like 8 years ago and I am pretty sure I had weird CM afterward, but I don't remember details.
