Normal symptoms for first period after loss

I started miscarrying 31 days ago today. I kept getting positive pregnancy tests (25miu) until last week, and still getting positive on the early detection tests (10miu)
I've had a very sore back for about 6 days, acne and sensitive breasts, I'm nauseous, since yesterday I've started getting very convincing period cramps on and off and I'm absolutely exhausted I overslept today which is typical for me a day or two before I start, I do usually get a sore back about 3 days before my period and sore breasts, but I don't tend to have the cramps until it starts, I'm just wondering if that tiny bit of hcg left is causing a delay my period of could this be normal as it's going to be the first one ?

Thank you for any help.

It’s normal not to get a period until your hcg is undetectable. Have you been scanned to make sure all of the pregnancy tissue has come away? Not feeling great could be a sign of an infection. I lost my baby at 15 weeks and had her in hospital 17 days ago and my pregnancy tests are now showing negative.

Gosh, I am so so sorry for your loss 😞

Yes, I had a scan about 10 days after it started with a specialist and they said it was all clear and had returned to normal.

Thank you for your reply ..

I really hope you are getting a lot of support right now
