PMS after MC

Sorry - not sure where to post this as it may or may not be related to MC...
I had an MC at 8 weeks last October. AF returned about 5/6 weeks later and we started TTC again. So far unsuccessfully. The last two AFs were preceded by what I thought were the most horrendous physical symptoms (weak, light-headed, exhausted, palpitations, nauseated) plus feeling really really down/depressed. I have never experienced anything like this before. I hoped it might be pregnancy related but AFs arrival signalled a bit fat NO to that. Everything then improves/lifts when AF arrives. So is this PMS and just the way life is now? I recently had a smear and nurse is referring me to hospital as there was some bleeding so all sorts of bad things going through my mind. Could it be related to the MC and my body still recovering. My hair has started Falling out a wee bit too. Anyone had any similar experiences? Anything I can do to improve symptoms? Thanks!

I didn't want to read and run, I can't imagine how stressed you are emotionally and physically. It's a horrible time for you by the sounds of things.

I think sometimes emotional stresses manifest as a physical issue and it sounds like you need some follow up care. Could you ask the GP for some bloods to check your HCG levels and make sure that everything is at a normal level? What have they said about your smear results?
