Is this normal after a miscarriage?

[Pinkmoon23]

Hi everyone, I sadly had an early miscarriage at 6 weeks on Saturday. I was brown spotting for a week before I miscarried, then bleeding heavy from Saturday for 3 days and then back to brown spotting. I've been getting a few things and just wondering if they're normal, or if others have experienced them how long they lasted? So the first is nausea, especially after eating. The second is I'm SO bloated, quite hard when I press and also tender too? Thirdly I got some EWCM this morning mixed with the brown discharge... Which I'm so confused about. I've done two ovulation tests both negative. They've been monitoring my Hcg which went from 85 last Thursday, to 26 last Saturday. I did a FRER early response yesterday that came back with a faint line so obviously not all the Hcg has left my system. I'm also wondering how long I should wait until we BD again... Sorry for all the questions and thank you so much in advance if you reply x

Hello Pinkmoon,
I'm sorry for your loss. I have been through a similar situation...I have miscarried when I was 5 weeks a few days ago..I also had some brown discharge and very mild cramping..My HgC level was 35 on Monday and 16 today. The nurse advised that it will be 0 in two weeks at the latest....I think we should be glad that we didn't have an ectopic pregnancy nor needed medication or surgery to remove any remaining tissues and we are therefore able to try to conceive again after our first period...MY only problem now is the guilt I feel that I caused the miscarriage because of my eating habits ( e.g in case I have been infected by chicken/turkey sandwiches or salads, fruits etc.....I just blame myself and this is torture. it would be great to hear similar stories and ways to overcome guilt....guilt is worse than grief and more overwhelming I think.....

Hi ladies. Sorry for your losses. I also experienced this.

@AnnaLina please don’t feel guilty. It’s awful enough going through a loss. There a no solid reasons for a mc. You did nothing wrong and you need to be mentally and physically strong for your 🌈 baby ❤️.

@Pinkmoon23 I think if you haven’t already had sex then your symptoms may just be hormonal…as your body resets and is ready for another pregnancy ❤️

By the time I started bleeding bright red…my HCG was at 2876 which was low for how far gone I thought I was. 8 weeks. I had bright red blood for 2 days then darker clottier bleeding for 5 and brownish for a day. I don’t know when I miscarried as they never saw a Sac on my scan and oddly I never bled heavy on to my pad only passed “stuff” when I went to pee etc. I’d stopped bleeding completely by day 9/10 and my HCG levels went from 1276 to 585 to 5 by 12/06 We had sex first time around 6th June. Just to add I’d also been taking preg tests to ensure line strength was declining aswell as opk test which were VERY high for a day before dropping to my “normal” positive peak range and then to negative as expected. As much as I wanted to ttc immediately I had thought the elevated LH was as a result of the pregnancy and didn’t continue to check for a second natural peak after my negative pregnancy test. Looking back now I could have ovulated anywhere from the 6th. As I was quite early and my bleeding started roughly around the time my period would have been due I thought I’d be lucky to fall back in sync however I’m technically a week late. Again that could be due to the mc. I had all the signs my period was coming (bloated, stinky farts, tired, moody etc) the week before I was due and the week of. These have stopped now. I also “felt” like it was coming but nothing. I’ve had no discharge since but have felt tired, crampy, back pains, lightening crotch, sharp twinges and nausea etc. my OPKs have been negative but on my first responser I got a faint positive so not sure what to make of it all.

Sending love and light to you both 🌈✨

Hi lovey, just came here to say same! Mine started Sunday. Still bloated, brown discharge and back ache for me. My HCG took maybe 5 days to come down I think.
Sending you so much love and solidarity.
My doc said start trying again as soon as the bleeding stops and you feel well enough. Your mental and physical health has to come first though.

Do try and remember that it's almost certainly that the embryo was just not right and our bodies were preventing something much more traumatic down the line.

Sending so much love to any of you going through this. It's terribly sad and lonely xxx

Hey girlies so sorry for your losses. I’ve just miscarried at 9 weeks today.. and sorry for the detail but did anyone else have extremely smelly farts? Mine is awful 😂 and I need to know if it’s normal!!

blessings to you all ♥️
