I had a miscarriage almost 3 months ago. My 12 week scan showed the baby had died at 9 weeks and I ended up having a natural miscarriage at home while waiting to go into hospital to have it surgically removed. It was absolutely awful and heartbreaking, as well as painful.
I had a normal period about 5 weeks after and was pleased to feel like everything had been reset and we could try to conceive again. But then the problems started. Midcycle I started to bleed. It was right around the time I should have been ovulating so I wondered if it was related to that. It was mostly light spitting for 2 days but it got heavier overnight and I woke up in a pool of blood (very embarrassing especially as we were in a hotel on holiday at the time).
Then when my next period should have arrived, it didn't. I started to hope. I had pregnancy like symptoms (sore boobs, booting, bad skin, feeling emotional) but I felt frightened to take a test because of the miscarriage. My period finally started 9 days late leaving me pretty devastated as by that point I'd pretty much convinced myself I was pg again. That period has now been going on for 11 days. It was extremely heavy at first and very very painful, particularly in my lower back. It's got lighter now but it's still going on. I feel drained, thirsty and pretty bloody fed up. I've been to the doctor and had a blood test - results should be in at the end of this week. Just wondered if anyone had experienced something similar following a miscarriage? I've always had very regular periods and got pregnant with my DD very easily so am finding all of this very difficult to deal with. My general health has been awful the pat few months and I'm staring to worry that I'm becoming depressed ????
