First period post-miscarriage

[user1499278556]

Morning all, EPU told me that the first one might be different to what I'm used to. What are your experiences?

Mine came this morning and thus far it's been completely normal (but about a week late, if we count the first day of heavy bleeding as cycle day 1). I was seven weeks (and embryo development had stopped at five), so it might be different if further along.

Mine came this week. Crampy and a very slow start. Spotting for a day. Then much heavier than normal! Bright (almost neon) red blood. It's just fading away now. Lasted a couple of days longer than normal too (I'm usually done by now)

Thanks ladies. Had a tiny bit of spotting a couple of days ago and thought it was starting but nope! Weirdly I'm getting the tingly nipple sensation that I only recognise from when I had my two kids. Hard not to read too much into that but will just wait and see.

Hi everyone ,
Had my missed miscarriage on the 10th june and my period started yesturday.Mine so far normal , just a bit heavier .x

Just finishing mine...heavier than normal, and slightly longer, but on time.

Mine has been thick, brown and full of clots. Nothing like a normal period at all! However, this is my second mc and my first period after my first mc was much more normal. I guess it really varies!

I have come on properly now. Certainly heavier than normal but nothing too horrendous yet

How long did you all have to wait for your period to show up?
Had an MVA procedure done end of May but it failed and ended up miscarrying naturally on 9th June, i'm normally a pretty regular 28/29 dayer but still had nothing yet and getting very frustrated.
Hospital said it should be 4 to 6 weeks, it will be 6 weeks end of this week, should i be worried that it hasnt shown up yet? X

Both of mine showed up just over 4 weeks at around day 31-32. I certainly wouldn't be worrying though coco, so so many women don't get their cycle back within that time frame. I'm on the ttc after miscarriage thread and lots of women on there have experiences of waiting a while. I hope yours shows it's face soon though so you're not unnecessarily worrying. So sorry for your loss and best of luck for the future x

Thanks emvy turns out my period showed up today! If must of heard me!! First time i've ever been glad to see it arrive, think it was relief that i can stop stressing over it for now x

First af is a weird one - full of mixed emotions. Be easy on yourself x

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. I am certain that I ovulated 2 weeks later and since then experiencing really bad PMS. I normally get sore boobs before but for about a week my boobs have been so sore I can barely touch them. Also getting cramps and feeling sick.
I did think...maybe I'm pregnant again but it doesn't seem likely and when i found out I was pregnant I actually didn't have sore boobs at all leading up to af. So I really don't know...I think it's common to have heavy periods after miscarriage?

The psychological aspect is bad enough...I just want it to hurry up now so we can try again.
I'm sorry for everyone on here who has experienced a miscarriage. It is dreadful.
Good luck for the future

IT took six weeks for mine to show up, and then it was extremely heavy and painful. I remember thinking it was just like having a mc again.

As a pp said, go easy on yourself - I found it very, very difficult to deal with. I'm sorry for your loss

I'm 2 days late now and still feel a lot of PMS, it's been really bad for about a week.
Did a test which was negative. Ugh I hate all this waiting. I just wish I could know what the hell is going on with my body.
I have bought a basal body thermometer and ovulation sticks to help the process and hopefully keep me positive.
Trying very hard not to sink in a pool of my own self pity. It's so hard some days. Anyone got any advice on how to beat the bad days after a miscarriage ? X

Ray, head on over to the ttc after miscarriage thread - it's full of wonderful ladies all in our position who can offer advice from all angles.

I found that time was a healer for me. And reminding myself of who I was before pregnancy by doing things I enjoy. Also, surrounding myself with friends who aren't in that baby headspace which for some I know may not be easy, especially if you already have children x

Thanks for your advice :)
