Coping with getting your period after MC?

[restingbface]

Just had my first period after miscarrying at 12 weeks, I felt like I was “getting over” my MC then boom got my period and it was like I was reliving it all over again. Mentally preparing myself for my next period, so how do you all cope with getting your period?

I'm afraid I don't have any answers so far as I'm in a similar situation, and I'm very sorry for your loss.

I had heavy bleeding and needed emergency surgery, and a follow up procedure 3 weeks later. The feel and sight of blood during my first proper post-miscarriage really shook me up. I felt very anxious and afraid, like it was happening again although that was impossible. For me it was more about the physical vulnerability of the miscarriage and memories around being very unwell rather than a reminder of the emotional aspects of loss. I had to keep reminding myself it was 'just' a period but this wasn't helped by the fact it was much heavier than my usual periods.

I hope this is another one of those situations where the passage of time will ease things.

Have you anyone to talk to about how you're feeling at the moment?

Sorry you're feeling like this, it's horrible. I had miscarriage at 20 weeks in December and a period that caused me no problems in Jan or Feb. This month my period was 5 days late. I knew I wasn't pregnant (negative test and no symptoms) but I was a complete mess. This is the first month I can try again and I was so angry at my body that it won't even give me my period on time.
There's no right way to feel and if you're struggling speak to your GP and get some help. Or just rely on your support network, such as this. Hope you're feeling better soon.
