Will my body ever be the same after miscarriage?

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I miscarried in June and am now trying for another baby but already I feel like I'm losing hope. I guess I'm looking for reassurance that I'm normal bevause frankly I feel like my body is broken. I feel like I will never go back to normal, I still constantly need a wee and feel exhausted. I even began throwing up again which made me think perhaps I was pregnant again but I got my period today and a negative test. Since my mc my periods (I've had 2) are so light they are virtually non existent, more like spotting. This is really making me worry that there's something wrong and I'll never concieve again. I know it's early days and I'm probably worried about nothing but I'm a very anxious person and thought it might help to chat to others who've been in the same boat.

@rosiecat90 ive had 2 miscarriages this year and my body/cycles/periods are all over the place too but this is normal.
My periods are also light and blood only ever really comes out if i sit on the toilet now (wasnt like that before the mc) but I told the hospital this and again she said it was normal after miscarriage.

Stress and worry is part and parcel of this im afraid... ive just started to relax about it all now and im finding it easier. Chin up and stay hopeful x

I now get a day of spotting before my full AF and I also had a MC. It comes out on the loo roll but never on the pad. Takes a while to kick in and my period is also lighter. I used to bleed for 7 days with 2 or 3 really heavy days (like leaking at night!) now I bleed for 6 and only have 1 heavy day. Your hormones might need a little while to get back to normal. My MC was in April btw

Sorry for your loss Flowers I’m still trying, now on my 5th cycle since MC and find it so hard. Nothing is wrong with us, it’s just not our time yet xx

@rosiecat90 just to add my solidarity here. I also had MC in June and my cycles are also still all over the place. I had a 3 day v light period in July, followed 17 days later by a heavy one. Spotting at funny points of my cycle and no sign of ov. It's crap. I expect time will be the healer here but the waiting really sucks.

Thank you everyone for your replies, I guess we just all need to be kind to ourselves and give it time. Best of luck to you all xxx

Your body can take time to get back to normal so hang in there! I had two miscarriages before having a successful pregnancy third time around - I had my little lady just after my 40th birthday! SmileFlowers

Hi all. Not sure if I'm in the right place..Not sure about anything at the moment really.
Had a mc about 2/3 weeks ago I was about 7 or 8 weeks. I was devastated about 3 days before it was confirmed at the EPU and pretty much no emotion since. I'm just so tired but can't sleep. Feel like my whole body is aching and have no explanation for it. Been back at work for 2 days and had to get my shift covered for today at the last minute.

I thought getting back to work and into a routine would help but it's done absolutely nothing but make me realise how I hate my job!

Getting so irritated by everything .
I don't even know if any of that makes sense Confused

Hi I have had 2 miscarriages this year in January & May & this month was the first month I had a relatively normal cycle so I think things can take a while to settle down. I had mega long cycles and only a few days of AF since January but this month was more like normal. I have been going to acupuncture the last few weeks and I think this has massively helped in getting my body working again xx
