Hi all i suffered a m/c at the end of July. I had my first period 24th Sept which was really light and only lasted a few days.

My next period came 22nd Oct started with awful period pain and then a heavy period, sorry if it's tmi but still heavy now. Can cope with the heaviness but what i've not had before is the tiredness and dizziness.

All last week i was so tired and this week i'm absolutley shattered. I'm getting enough sleep 8 hours a night. I'm eating a good diet.

Today at work all of a sudden i got awful tummy and backache and came over very dizzy and nearly passed out. Went home to rest and am so tired all my limbs feel so heavy and drained.

Is this normal after m/c has anyone else suffered this??

Hi Coco. Sorry about your m/c [sad[

Same thing happened to me after mine, it was all heavy and clotty. You will be physically and emotionally drained.

Be good to yourself.

Are you anaemic?

Really sorry for your loss - perhaps you should contact your GP / dept where you suffered your MC for a bit of advice?

FWIW after my MC I had "normal" periods, but a random cycle. Went from 28 day religious cycle to any thing between 20 days and 40!

Hope you're feeling better soon

Thanks for advice. Do feel so drained one minute i'll be fine then just so sad and irritable.

Not had any tests for being anaemic since i was pregnant and i wasn't then but suppose i could be now. Think i will contact Dr tomorrow if i'm still unwell.

M/c is awful and you think it's over and the nighmare continues!

Sorry to hear of your losses.

It's still very early days for you. You need to go easy.
