Mood swings post MC

[Running4pizza]

Hello, I’m 3 weeks post MC and whilst I thought I was doing OK and practical in terms of MC, in the past week and a half, my mood has been all over the place. I feel like I have really bad PMT - snapping at people, tearful, gloomy outlook on things. No idea if this is just a response to the MC or my hormones normalising. I’ve got no idea if I’ve ovulated or due to as my pregnancy test still very mildly positive and OPK/BBT are all over the place. Has anyone felt similar?

Hi @Running4pizza i also had a MC three weeks ago and thought I was dealing with it well but last week my mood was all over the place. I am really short tempered, anxious and stressy. I don’t know if it’s hormones or not but just thought I would let you know you’re absolutely not alone. Try and do something for yourself to relax and unwind. I have just got my first negative pregnancy test today which has triggered my emotions as well! Look after yourself x

Morning,
I absolutely felt this the latter end of last week... was a total mess. Couldn't see any hope or happiness.
Is it worth you speaking to your EPU if still testing mildly positive to check?
Hormones are a b*tch!!!
Hugs to you... it won't feel like this forever, even if it seems that way now...

@BeSassyPanda thanks so much for your reply. Sorry for your loss ❤️ I hope you’re doing ok today. I totally get it - as much as I want a negative pregnancy test to signify the whole thing is over, I feel that I will be so upset at the same time.

@CustardCream31 thanks for the reply - so sorry you felt like this too! It’s relentless. Hoping my hormones stabilise a bit soon. I saw your post re a positive pregnancy test after a negative - really hope this means what I think it does and it goes darker for you when you next test 🥰

I could have written this post myself! I think it's completely normal to be feeling this way. I am almost 3 weeks post mmc and felt like this straight after the surgery. It's a long horrible journey and I can not wait to see the end of it either. My tests are still positive and it is really upsetting. Try and look after yourself through the trauma and I hope you can put this chapter to bed soon xx

Hey, just checking in how you're doing? Hope this week has felt a little easier at times for you

Ah thanks, but even if it was positive, I'm definitely "on" now. So god knows if it was an evap/chemical... trying to get some positivity in me for trying the next cycle, but feeling low and crap!

@CustardCream31 ah I’m so sorry. I was hoping that line would have got darker for you. I bet you’re feeling rubbish especially with period hormones on top of everything that’s happened.

I’m feeling a bit up and down. Fine and positive one minute about starting again but then irritable and easily annoyed with everyone. How many weeks were you when your had your MMC? I was 10 but baby was 8. I’ve got no clue when I’m due to ovulate - my OPK’s read high for ages post MMC but now reduced but still an obvious line there like they’re either about to peak again or I’ve missed it and it’s on its way down. Did you use OPKs?

Sending you lots of hugs and hope you’ve got chocolate to treat yourself with!

Argh I'm so sorry I didn't reply to this sooner.... blinked and weeks have flown by.

Happy New Year. How are you doing now? I hope things are feeling a little easier for you now, and that this New Year brings a successful positive for you!

I was 10 weeks when miscarried, but baby measured around 6 weeks according to scan... however, what I saw that I lost was definitely the 8/9 week mark with size and features.... I still feel traumatised and not sure what to think and worried they got it wrong.
