Sorry there is graphic info in here
I need some reassurance from anyone else that has experienced this.
I had a surgical TFMR 11 weeks ago, I was devastated. 4 weeks after that I ended up hemorrhaging at home passing egg sized clots with extreme pain/contractions etc. Was very scary! Ended up at AnE and gynae unit. Was admitted, traumatised after the examination and them pulling bits out of me. I was told the termination was incomplete and I was now "partially" miscarrying. I then had a scan which confirmed I had approx 60% retained products. I was also told I had an infection. It was very traumatizing. They said I needed emergency surgery and THIS time it would be guided with ultrasound.

After surgery I was told all was gone. Week later presented to the gp, had swabs and told another anaerobic infection. All in all I was on antibiotics for 4 weeks.

It's now been 7 weeks since the surgery I have had NO period. We haven't had unprotected sex, all pregnancy tests are negative. I'm also having issues with orgasm (Sorry if tmi). I climax but it is literally a flutter. I have NEVER experienced this lack of periods and lack of climaxing. This has been since the surgery.

I was at the gynae unit two weeks ago where I was told oh it's maybe taking it's time, come back in 8 weeks if your periods haven't returned.

My worry: infertile, damage to the womb, scarring to the womb.

ANY words of advice or encouragement would be great. I am worried sick.

Nobody responded however I thought this may help someone in the future. That is nearly the 8 week mark and I got my period today. A very very heavy and painful period however I am so glad. Smile

Glad you are on the mend, so sorry you have had to go through this.....it is sh1t. I had a TFMR at 23w6d four weeks ago and wondering when my period will return. Midwife said 6 to 8 weeks but said it is different for everyone. I had surgery to remove the placenta which thankfully went smoothly and the bleeding stopped after 4 or 5 days and went to spotting for a week. We had unprotected sex twice that week and then i had some rusty coloured spotting on Friday along with some cramping (spotting after induction was red, pink then brown and dark before stopping). The only other time i had this was when i got pregnant and turned out to be implantation bleed 10 days after we conceived. I just cant work out when or if i have ovulated yet and have read that OPK will not be accurate this soon after pregnancy. Not sure whether to do a pregnancy test and if i do if it will be accurate. Will just have to wait it out.
