Bleeding during first trimester

Hi all, I’m currently in my first trimester (around week 6)..experienced bleeding with clots and went to KKH urgent O&G yesterday..doc said mine is a threatened miscarriage and prescribed progesterone over 2 weeks..they did scanning and could see baby and heartbeat..did not have any bleeding for the next 24 hours until now (the next day) where I felt a gush of blood again (fresh blood with clots)..just wondering if this is normal even after taking progesterone? How long does it usually take for the bleeding to stop? Am very worried and paranoid :(

Hi it is good to bleed during a miscarriage, because that's how the unwanted blood in the uterus comes out. In fact the doctor will do a transvaginal scan to see whether the uterus is completely clear so that you can continue to try again after a month or two from getting your normal menstrual cycle after seeking advise from doctor. Pls don't strain at this time, your body will be extremely weak. Take care, eat healthy food, drink plenty of fluids.
