Periods after medical miscarriage

[Wils85]

Hi, I think I'm about to go insane! I underwent a medical miscarriage after discovering a MMC on 08th July, I was 9 weeks by my dates but the sac was around 7 weeks. I eventually miscarried on the 17th July and got a negative PG test on 09th August.

My period showed its head on the evening of 16th August but literally for 24hrs!! I have had nothing since until yesterday evening when I had some brown spotting and again today some pinky brown spotting on wiping!

I'm so confused as to what my body is doing and I feel so out of control. I understood the first period after a miscarriage would be normal flow or heavier, but this has been practically none existent. Has anyone else had a similar experience? This MC was my second PG, the first ended in TFMR back in November at 15 weeks 😥 I just want to know when we can TTC again as I am 35 at Christmas and getting panicky about getting older!!

Any words of wisdom ladies? It's really starting to get to me xx

Hi @Cornflake24 - I actually had a hysteroscopy, which I mentioned in my post, which is where they use a camera to locate anything that shouldn’t be there and then remove. The two names are so similarly spelled! They don’t use a camera in the first instance of surgical management as, without being TMI, there is too much going on in there for them to be able to see anything.

Thanks for sharing your experience - got a very very very faint line on the FRER this morning so still holding on for my negative!

Hey @Cailin1808 as @Cornflake24 said I didn't get a hysterectomy, I just got a D&C to 'clean out' my womb of any old tissue removed from my miscarriage.

I assume if you've had a hysterectomy you won't have another period and will no longer be able to become pregnant.

They told me to expect my periods to return between 4-6 weeks following the surgery for my miscarriage xx
