Not Clots, Tissue--Passing Tissue From Body

Well, upon closer examination, I am not passing mainly "clots", but tissue still. I heard the doctors examining the huge bedpan full of "clots" which I had thought were clots I passed all at once. I heard the doctors in the bathroom to my room, saying they were not clots, but tissue. It was all blood and tissue, and after that, I had to have a transfusion. In that case, they came out all at once, several hours after taking Cytotec.

So now, I've been thinking I'm just bleeding with some "clots" and I think some of it was really clots because it was stringy. But I just passed a large piece of tissue. It is not a blood clot.

So I don't know what that means, if it's good or bad and I have to go back to ER or not. The doctors had told me they were mainly concerned all placental or tissue stuff was "out", because it could cause bleeding, and they thought it was all out, but clearly, it's not. I saved this one, to take to ER if I need to, to show them.

It's the size of silly putty or something. It looks like a chicken liver or something.

I do not feel good and I'm TIRED.

Oh, and here's the medical opinion of what is considered "normal", from a site online: "You may experience some lower abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps. This pain may last for up to 2 days after the miscarriage. Talk to your doctor if the pain persists or if you cannot control the pain"

I have WAY worse pain than abdominal pain "similar to menstrual cramps" and it is lasting LONGER than 2 days after miscarriage.

This is NOT "normal" and I told them so.
