What counts as the first day of MC?

Hi,

I had a MC five weeks ago but I’m not sure what counts as the first day (I’m trying to work out my cycle). I had two days of light spotting, one day of heavy bleeding and then a few days of spotting. What would you count as the first day of the MC?

I was 6 weeks pregnant and now waiting for AF to show up. I had irregular AF before so no idea how long that will be which scares me.

Sorry for your loss

It’s recommned not to ttc for 3 months as mc rates higher after one if you ttc quickly

In 2016 I fell pregnant MC at 6 weeks then ttc immediately and fell 2 weeks later and then mc twins one at 2 months the other at 5 months

Give your body time to heal and emotionally if you are trying to conceive
They say 3 cycles then try as it heals and repairs your womb and you get a better lining for a pregnancy

I used temp apps and they worked

Op the advice given above is not correct. Try again when you feel emotionally able to but the MC rates are actually lower if you conceive again within 6 months of a MC Thanks
