Ttc after abortion, periods

[Kber30]

had an abortion at the end of march, I think I was roughly 5 weeks. Had a medical abortion through BPAS who were really helpful. was a really hard time of my life regardless

5 weeks after had my first period it was heavy gloopy and smallish clots, sorry for TMI
got advised it maybe heavier anyway, I bled for around 8 days then had another period 24 days later that only lasted 4 days again was moderately heavy thick and few small clots,

my hcg levels were at 11 couple weeks back and then went down to 7 and since then had a negative test 9 weeks after the abortion. Not sure why took so long,

wanting to Ttc with my partner not sure on ovulation if I’m ovulating or where to start, doing the feed every day mostly or every other day when we’re to tired, basically anyone else in the same boat ?

mixed emotions kinda hopeful of looking forward but still broken from what had happened

thank you ladies 🦋

whats different between March and now for you ttc now when you were pregnant in March ? Just wondering tbh , no need to reply obviously

Personally I would carry on with what your doing now and wait until your next period. Then start from there get an app and or ovulation sticks and take it from there. Hopefully it will settle down soon. Obviously you did what you needed to do for your own reasons don’t feel bad about it. I’m in a similar position with my partner and just had one a few weeks back from an unplanned pregnancy. We want to start TTC early next year and I get people won’t understand the difference between now and then but for us it felt so wrong and unmanageable at this point in our life.

Was a medical reason

Thank you for your reply, I’m sorry you also went through that, and it’s so true some
Just don’t understand or jump to conclusions,I downloaded the app called flo, really good app and straight forward, just want to know if my body is doing the right thing and healing ❤️‍🩹 my heart not so much but everything else would be great to go back to normal as possible ,

wanting to ttc again is a journey it self let alone the complications it has brought me with other things,

I think my body is going in to the right direction but think you are right with letting things settle down a little more, the negative pregnancy test was a start for me after the heart ache went through,

sending my thoughts to you 🦋

SEJ1789 May I ask how you found your periods after?

@Kber30 I’m still waiting for it. I really hope it goes back to normal straight away should be due in the next week or so… I haven’t had one since April, but I took pills to delay my period in May then when I came off found out I was pregnant, as it didn’t come back within a couple of days. Will try to remember to let you know when it eventually arrives. Thinking of you and really hope you manage TC without too much stress 💕 x

Fingers crossed 🤞 for you, mine took 5 weeks to appear but they have just been awful, not sure when my next one is due as I just had one with 24 days inbetween, I am sure your will appear soon body’s are amazing at bouncing back quickly, I had a positive pregnancy test for literally 9 weeks nearly it took that long to get a negative, had periods in between and not long had a blood test which shown levels of 7 so definitely seems like it’s going back to normal just been such a rollercoaster, yes please let me know on your journey through this, have you had a negative test since or would
you rather not check? Thank you for your wel wishes and my thoughts and healing are with you too X

posted twice not sure why, sorry 🫣x

im definitely going to take a test (or multiple! as want to make sure it’s all ok) 'm going to take one next week which will be 3weeks after and then hoping AF will return the week after that. I barely had symptoms as it was so I can’t even go off those going. Bodies are amazing and you will bounce back I’m sure. Hopefully mentally too soon x

@SEJ1789 Ah right yes sorry you’ve not long gone through it, really hope your journey with this goes as smooth as possible I will think of you and if you have the time at all please report back and let me know how you got on, fingers crossed and love and light to you x

I will be similar hopefully...mine was a medical reason too...did u suffer from hypermesis? I hope next time I can cope with it better...

Mine was a combination of things one being I had taken medication which can cause serious defects in early pregnancy and I just didn’t want to risk getting further along and finding out and also it was totally the wrong time and were actively avoiding trying due to our situation.

Had a medical abortion 2.5 weeks ago. I bled heavy the week after it and then it was very light second week but for the past 4 days iv been really heavy again! Rang hospital I had procedure and they say could be my period!! But iv read you don't get your period until 4-6 weeks after??? Anybody experienced something similar?
I go on holiday in 2 weeks and worries I'll still be bleeding!! 😫
