Periods/CM after Miscarriage

Hello all, bit of background info-

Had a scan at 11 weeks (back in June) which showed no heartbeat and baby gad stopped growing at 8 weeks. A week later had surgical management. Three weeks later got several negative pregnancy tests.

It has now been almost 7 weeks since surgery and 4 weeks since negative test.

I had what I thought was the beginning of my period last week, however it was just brown/pink and watery in texture for a few days before stopping completely. Usually my cycles are very heavy and last at least 5 days. Since then I have had sticky discharge but no bleeding.

Just wondering what other peoples experiences of their cycles were, post miscarriage? X

Wow, sending love. I also had a mmc in June (scan at 11 weeks, baby made it to 8 weeks). My cycles have been pretty messed up to be honest! I’ve been hoping to find some info on it as whenever I Google it seems to say everything goes back to normal asap and that’s just not been my experience! I’ve had three full cycles since and am in my tww now. My periods have been longer and lighter than before, and seem to be getting longer 😅

have you had yours settle now?♥️

Ahh, it seems our situations are pretty similar, sending you love Star.

After this post, my next cycle was very heavy (so much so I had to go and get checked over!), next one wasn't great either but I seem to have settled in to a regular 28 day pattern now.

I'm also in the 2ww too, due on end of next week. Fingers crossed for both of us!!

Awwh lovely, that sounds traumatic! Especially after everything you’ve been through! Really glad to hear that they’ve finally settled down now for you ♥️

I’ve been using the Mira fertility thing to measure my levels and they’re low but not beyond hope so here’s hoping! 🍀 sending lots of luck your way! I’m currently 5 DPO ♥️

Sending luck your way too- is that like Natural Cycles? Must admit I've not heard of Mira!

I've just been tracking my cycles and doing ovulation tests but I don't think they're very reliable for me to be honest. I should be about 8/9 DPO today xx

you test your urine and then it gives you a LH, estrogen and progesterone levels! Handy but it almost feels like the more I know the less I know at the moment 😅😂

eaak not too far to go! You got this 👌 xxx
