Do you feel exhausted after an early miscarriage - for how long?

[MiMao]

Just been reading many of the posts under miscarriage.

My gp reckons I had early miscarriage around 4 weeks, (pos then neg test) since then I have been feeling so shattered that I am booked in to get blood tests next week.

I am totally exhausted and at times feel like I will faint.

Trying to take it easy for now and hope the blood tests will explain why i feel like this.

I just wondered if maybe the reason I am feeling like this is because maybe i did have early mc and that this is what happens after.

If so then at least I would feel relieved that these feelings of exhaustion are natural.

HOw long did you bleed for? If you lost a lot/bled for a while you could be anaemic.

I mc at 6 weeks in Dec but after the initial pain and bleeding for a week, felt fine physically.

Blood tests sound like a good idea and I would imagine they are doing an iron level check.

Good luck

Hi MiMao
I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks last Thursday and I am still exhausted. Your body has been through a lot and will take time to recover. Try to relax and be easy on yourself. Hope the blood tests turn out ok.

hi

i was two days late, tested - got faint pos then period started that night, only lasted 3.5 days and was very light so tested after and it was neg.

dont even know if the pos i got was true now since i have been made aware of evaporation lines.

gp reckons i had early miscarriage.

so the bleeding was light but i feel like i've been hit by a bus and it is 2 weeks later!

MiMao I had 2 positive tests then my period arrived a day later. I out this down to a chemical pregnancy (where fertilised egg doesn't implant properly). I felt fine (though obviously disppointed) and have done ever since. I think the blood tests are probably a good idea. Could be anaemia or maybe a virus. I had post-viral fatigue syndrome once which made me very exhausted.

Have you been TTC long? How are you in yourself? Is it possible you could be suffering from depression? It can have a pronounced physical effect.

I had a MC at 6 weeks in January, after the initial pain and bleeding I did feel OK, mentally and phyiscally, but then for the last two weeks my belly has been very swollen, and I have been shattered, GP thinks the belly and the tirerdness is down to hormonal build up left over from the MC.

I wouldn't have linked the two at all, but now it kind of feels obvious. I suppose a MC takes more out of us than we think.
