I miscarried on 1st Feb at 6 weeks pregnant and my periods still haven't returned, how long should I leave it before going to see my Gp? Am really confused as after my 1st m/c my af came 4 weeks later. thank you

Are you sure you miscarried? did you have scan? if you are sure it wouldn't hurt to speak to your GP now. I recently had a miscarriage and just got my af 4 weeks later but I know from others it can take a little while.

It can take a little while sometimes. Could you already be pregnant again? Agree with Catzy, check with your GP.

Yes it was definatly a complete m/c, had a scan after. We did do it once a couple of weeks after the m/c without using any protection but I read that you don't ovulate untill your af after a m/c, though I suppose there is still a chance..hmm thank you for your advice, really appreciate it.

titchy, it is definately possible that you are pg again. you can ov at any time after a mc, however, it does sometimes take a while for things to settle down. go to your gp for reassurance, im sorry that this has happened sad

Take at test, many people do get pregnant after a mc and before the next period. If it's negative you should speak to your gp. I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks and my period returned 5 weeks later but it can vary.

and the "no ov until after af" thing is rubbish. ther are loads of women on here who conceived straight after..

ive conceived pretty much right away after all my early mc's you might want to do a test.

Well I do know someone who didn't get her period for about 90 days after her m/c, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you don't get yours for another year or more wink.

Thank you, if i am pregnant will it increase my chance of m/c again as my body wouldn't have gone back to normal so soon?I also had a small amount of blood about 3 weeks ago, it was red but only a tiny bit in my knickers sorry TMI,and i thought that was the start of my af but after that tiny amount nothing more?Think I'll do a test at the weekend!

I became pregnant just two weeks after my last m/c. No problems so far and I'm 13 weeks - it doesn't increase your chances of miscarriage.

I do think you need to do a test.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
