Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

According to your description there is possibility of incomplete abortion. As you are having unilateral severe pain with increasing fatigue leading to excessive sleeping, we cannot rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy also. Both of these conditions cannot be managed at home. So, you please go to emergency room, consult your gynecologist once, get examined and undergo ultrasound to find out whether the gestational sac is intrauterine or not and the miscarriage is complete or not. Depending on the findings, if abortion is incomplete, then you may need to undergo dilation and curettage. Till you reach the hospital, combination of Tranexamic acid and Mefenamic acid can help in decreasing pain and bleeding. But this is only temporary symptomatic treatment and will not solve the problem. So, please visit your doctor as early as possible.

Hope I have answered your query and I will be happy to answer any further follow-up queries.

Take care.
