When did period return after MMC 16weeks+

Last month I had a MMC at 18 weeks (baby's heart stopped at 16 weeks). I had medical management and delivered my son. Two weeks later pregnancy tests returned negative so I assume my hcg levels have returned to 0. And the bleeding stopped completely 2 weeks 4 days after i delivered. There is no clear sign as yet as to when my period will arrive. I was just wondering if anyone else has had a MMC around the same gestation or later and when their period returned. Or if they were able to become pregnant straight after before their period arrived.

Thanks in advance for any replies xxxxx

I am so very sorry for what you've been through and the loss of your son.

When it happened to me, my first proper period was after about 4 weeks when the bleeding from the miscarriage had stopped.

So sorry for your loss. I went through similar a couple of months ago, I had a MMC at 17 weeks. Like you I bled for 2-3 weeks afterwards and then two weeks after that my period arrived. So around 4 and a half weeks after delivering. Take care of yourself x
