I'm 6 and a half weeks post surgery for my MMC and 13dpo. Today when I wiped there was red blood so I thought well that's good my first period is finally returning. However I haven't really had much since. I had mucus mixed with a bit of blood and just light pink when I wiped. I expected a full on heavy period as I also didn't really bleed after the procedure. I'm now really paranoid about Ashermans. Is there anyone else who had the same kind of thing with their first period? I'm googling all sorts and just had a cry thinking the worst.

Hi OP. Just want to give you a rundown from what I remember from my MMC and after.

Had a MMC and advised to have surgical management.

Had a nurse who would bring me back regularly for hCG checks which eventually started to slow down with the dropping so I pushed for a scan (did you get your hCG checked or a negative pregnancy test at all)

Had a check where they said it was fine. But called back by a specialist and found there was RPOC.

Second D&C

No period returned. Huge panic, worried about Asherman's etc. In a huge downward spiral about this (during lockdown)

2-3 months later (I think, but about 4/5 months from first surgery) period returns.

Within 1-3 months of that, not entirely sure, got pregnant for all of 3 or 4 days and then a CP.

Got pregnant on my next ovulation and that was a healthy successful baby.

Had another successful pregnancy since.

Hopefully something from my history may help your current situation.

Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!

That sounds so stressful! I'm so glad you've had healthy and successful pregnancies since. Noone checked by HCG levels but I did get negative tests 2-3 weeks after the procedure and know that I ovulated just after 4 weeks.

Hopefully after a month's break and a period we'll be more successful.
