Hi all,
I fell pregnant back in March. It was our first attempt to get pregnant after coming off the pill in Feb. I moved to the US last year from London for work, they do things slightly differently here - earlier scans. So I had a scan at 8w 2d and all looked normal. On 16 May I went in for routine blood tests but the doctor couldn’t find the heartbeat. I then had an emergency ultrasound and found that my baby had stopped growing at 8w 5d. i then had a D&C on 22 May. This has been the worst experience of my life. It was my first pregnancy and I’m still absolutely devastated. I’m struggling mentally and the uncertainty of pregnancy is making it worse.
I’ve had 2 periods since the D&C, 20 June and 18 July. Pretty sure I didn’t ovulate last cycle and now I’m unsure about this month too. I’m on day 13 of my cycle and have start spotting - which is unusual for me. My cycles are usually very regular and the last time I spotted it was implantation spotting.
is this normal? Is it normal to not ovulate after a miscarriage? Is the spotting a good sign? I need some reassurance and good news stories :(
