To be worried by short painless periods? Advice needed.

[DragonsandDungeons]

2 yo DS, recently had a miscarriage and D&C. Have always had horrible painful periods. Light but agonising, I've been hospitalised from the pain. The pain is worse than when I had my son, and I'm regularly prescribed tramadol for it. 29 days.

After my D&C, I ovulated and had a really short cycle of 17 days. It was painless. I assumed the first cycle was weird. I'm now just starting my period after 20 days, I've had no warning and I'm not in any pain. I have never had painless periods. I'm not even slightly uncomfortable!

I know I'm ovulating because I'm charting and my LP seems to be 9 days which I think is too short.

AIBU to be concerned? Is it just because I recently lost a baby? Or is there something that needs investigating? I should add I suspect I have LPD for a few reasons too

I'm asking because I have health anxiety and am not very good at being objective about it.

I have had multiple miscarriages including a d+e. also 2 successful pregnancies. and breast fed for 4 years so my periods were all over the place for years. 10 years ago they were agonising. making me sick with pain and I collapsed a couple of times with some weird spasms. They hardly impact on my life at all now. 3 days every 25. few uncomfortable hours before they start.
I think it is just your body changing. Maybe the procedure changed whatever had bed the issue. I am so possess your loss and sadness. Enjoy your painfree periods. I hope you get your take home baby soon.

Hi OP. Sorry about your miscarriage.

You need a few months for your cycle to settle back down. If a LP only lasted 9 days consistently then yes that could be a problem.

For me light painless periods were a sign of infertility and not ovulating but if you don't have that problem it's probably fine and your body just needs to settle back down.

Thank you. I'm wondering if it'll go back but after I had my son it never did this :(

It's not uncommon for periods to change after babies (they can go from heavy- light, or light-heavy, cycle length can change etc) it can also take awhile for periods to regulated especially if breastfeeding

I didn't have a baby. I had a miscarriage. I'm definitely not breastfeeding.

I've had too miscarriages and two DS's. I was very irregular but after my pregnancies became regular as clockwork! They were less painful too and less physical symptoms!

Sorry for your loss OP. X x
