Period after miscarriage

Hello, I had surgical management mid July and I'm losing the will to live waiting for my period.

I know that it can often take around 6 weeks to return but I have had very strong period cramps for the past 2 weeks and no sign of AF.

Have also had a few follow up scans which showed no issues.

My OPK results have also been wild- had a peak on 11/08 and then another almost peak on 20/08. Today they are fairly dark again. We haven't tried this month so not sure why I've done the ovulation tests, just for fun I suppose.

Does anybody have any experience similar to this??

@Sdoubleyou, amazing news! Everything crossed for a healthy and easy pregnancy for you this time round. Please keep us updated! ❤❤❤

Been thinking of you all lots too. I hope everyone's pregnancies are progressing well this time.

I had surgery to remove the scars on my uterus on Thursday and now have 2 months of hormone therapy to hopefully help the lining heal. And then, a year after I got pregnant, we can hopefully start to try again. It's a much longer road than I was hoping for, but I just have to keep going, I guess.

@Shortmamashortcycles, good to hear that they've done the surgery! I know it isn't a real comfort, but at least it's a big step forward. Please keep us posted. Lots of love being sent your way and I hope you're being good to yourself 💛

Hey girls I’ve just logged on in what seems like forever. Omgosh @Sdoubleyou HUGE congratulations! 🥳💕 hope your feeling ok.

So far my pregnancy has been pretty tough, I developed a high thyroid - from having Covid. So I’ve been feeling soooo rough since January and extra anxious as it can cause miscarriage. It causes things like my heart racing after doing very small tasks, shakey hands, dizziness, extra sickness and increased anxiety. I feel lucky the Dr took me seriously and ran tests and didn’t just send me away with… your getting over Covid and in the early stages of pregnancy.
Drs have been keeping a close eye on me although with all the referrals… the midwife forgot to book my dating scan 🤦🏻‍♀️Luckily I chased it, my scan is today. I’m 14weeks now and thankfully my thyroid levels look like they are dropping.
Feeling anxious about today and hoping all is well 🤞🏻
How is everyone? @Shortmamashortcycles how are you doing? That’s a huge step forward, hope your recovering well after surgery x x

Sdoubleyou · 09/04/2022 14:36

@Newgirl21, thank you! My progression lines seem good so I'm stepping away from the tests and waiting for my early scan in 2.5 weeks. Just trying to ride out the anxious moments.

I'm so glad your pregnancy is progressing well. It must be really difficult to deal with the after-Covid effects though. Pregnancy after miscarriage is anxiety-riddled enough! But hopefully it'll be smoother for the next few months. Let us know how it goes today. 🤞

Shortmamashortcycles · 09/04/2022 15:47

@Newgirl21, well done for making it through the first trimester! That's interesting that covid caused your thyroid to go haywire - I regularly take thyroid meds and in January, a month after I had covid, I found that my levels had gone way down and needed to reduce my meds. They'd been stable for ages so it was a surprise!

I am sure you're anxious but as you say, it's great they've taken it seriously and you're being properly monitored. I hope the next few months go smoothly.

I'm doing ok, thanks for checking in - I got some extra ear piercings today and bought some very tight jeans, so I'm leaning into my two months of TTC limbo! I find out in mid-May whether the surgery and healing were successful. 🤞🤞🤞

Newgirl21 · 10/04/2022 10:02

I know @Shortmamashortcycles so weird, apparently severe nausea and sickness in pregnancy can cause it or a severe infection can make the thyroid gland swell and cause thyroid issues. I’m glad it’s back in the normal range now.

My scan went well and everything looks good, which is a massive relief 😊 Hubby and I both cried. I feel I can finally relax a little. x

Shortmamashortcycles · 10/04/2022 12:15

@Newgirl21, that's such good news! 😍😍😍

Sdoubleyou · 10/04/2022 12:33

@Newgirl21,thank you for the update, that's wonderful news!! 🥰❤️

amyh2012 · 11/04/2022 18:43

Congratulations to you @Sdoubleyou and @Newgirl21 im so so pleased your dating scan went well.
So pleased for you all 🥰🥰🥰 I often kept coming on here and nobody had really been chatting and was going to reach out to you all to see how you're getting on.

@Shortmamashortcycles it looks like you're on the right track for your recovery which is also great to hear. Thinking of you ❤️

Sdoubleyou · 12/04/2022 12:51

Thank you @amyh2012! How's your pregnancy progressing? You must be getting close!

amyh2012 · 14/04/2022 21:11

@Sdoubleyou really well thank you. I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow and we're having a little boy 💙

amyh2012 · 04/10/2022 10:57

Hey everyone! @Sdoubleyou @Newgirl21 @Shortmamashortcycles

It’s been a long old while! How are we all doing?

hope you’re all well💖

Shortmamashortcycles · 04/10/2022 11:10

Hey @amyh2012 , thanks for checking in! How are you? Your little one must be here now - I hope all went ok and you and he are getting on well?

I meant to message a week ago but... I am pregnant! Yay! Only 6 weeks and already had a terrifying bleed, but apparently everything is fine for now.

It was a bit rocky - was cleared from the scarring in mid-May, fell pregnant immediately but had a chemical in June which was heartbreaking, then 3 cycles later here we are.

Early days but trying to think positively and be hopeful. 🤞🤞🤞

Newgirl21 · 04/10/2022 14:14

Hi @amyh2012 @Sdoubleyou and @Shortmamashortcycles it has been a long time.
Hope you guys have been well 💕

@amyh2012 hope you and your little one are keeping well, he must be a few months old now? ☺️

@Shortmamashortcycles thats such amazing news! Congratulations 🥳 I hope your feeling ok.

Im currently 5days away from my due date, we’re having a little girl. The fear of labour and delivery is beginning to kick in.

amyh2012 · 04/10/2022 20:34

great to hear from you both!

@Shortmamashortcycles congratulations lovely, I’m so happy for you. Fingers crossed everything is ok and will keep super positive for you! Understandably you must be very nervous but each pregnancy is different and I’m wishing you a healthy positive little bub.

@Newgirl21 eeeek! How exciting!! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

im very well thank you. Our little boy; Luca is now 9 weeks old! He is amazing, everything I dreamt of and more.
we’ve come out of the other side of the baby bubble and starting to live our lives together 🫶🏼

Sdoubleyou · 06/10/2022 16:40

Omigosh just saw this, amazing to have news from you all! I didn't want to push, but I've been so curious about all of you.

@amyh2012, that's so wonderful!! We're expecting our little boy around December 13th. I'm 30+2 and very large! It's amazing to have him rolling around in there.

@Newgirl21, thinking lots of positive thoughts for your labour and delivery. So exciting that she's going to be here soon!

@Shortmamashortcycles, I'm so f*ing happy for you! Praying it's a sticky one! The beginnings are so stressful but also so worth it in the end.

Oh this has really made my day! And I hope anyone reading this thread in the future will get the hope they're looking for!

Newgirl21 · 06/10/2022 16:52

Thank you ladies! I couldn’t agree more 🥰 hopefully our stories can give others the hope they need.

Thats amazing news @Sdoubleyou, not much longer to go for you 😬 and a little
boy… how lovely!

so my little girl decided to make an early appearance and after a very quick delivery was born early hours of this morning. 💕

Sdoubleyou · 06/10/2022 18:12

Massive congrats @Newgirl21!!! 💖💖💖 What great news! Enjoy your little girl, I'm so thrilled for you!

amyh2012 · 12/10/2022 17:02

Honestly guys, how amazing is this. I don’t think any of us this time last year would’ve thought we’d have been on this journey. I’m so happy for us all🥰

congratulations @Newgirl21 enjoy the baby bubble 🫧

this really does fill me with happiness. We all have our personal stories but all of us on the same paths 🥹🥹🥹

Sdoubleyou · 14/12/2022 17:39

Hi ladies! Just wanted to update you, we had our baby on Monday evening and we are head over heels in love with him 💙💙💙. He came one day early. Definitely takes his punctuality from his dad 😂. Hope you are getting on well, thinking of you @amyh2012, @Newgirl21 and @Shortmamashortcycles. Lots of love!

Shortmamashortcycles · 14/12/2022 18:12

Ahhh great news @Sdoubleyou ! Hope the three of you are having a wonderful time in the baby bubble! 💙💙💙

Am almost 17 weeks and still so anxious - can't wait to feel movement that isn't, "probably just gas". 😂

Hope everyone else is keeping well and warm with their little ones!

Sdoubleyou · 14/12/2022 18:25
