What was your first period like after your miscarriage?

So I had missed miscarriage and ended up with a D&C on the 20th of last month. Everything went fine, I stopped bleeding and my symptoms subsided after a week.

Over a month later I get pinky/red discharge which is not normally a symptom my period is gonna start, but the next morning when I was due to get on a plane and fly for 20 hours, my period came to visit. I was told it would be really heavy and it wasn’t that at all at and the next day I just spotted and it stopped.

Im like 6 days away from ovulation according to my app and I feel rubbish. My boobs are swollen and heavy (which never happens to me during ovulation) I’m moody as fuck and I’m so god damn hungry all the time and a little nauseous.

Has anyone else experienced this after their miscarriage? Have my hormones or hcg not normal? Google just keeps trying to gaslight me into believing this is normal. But I don’t have these symptoms leading up to ovulation normally.

Mine have varied from normal period to very heavy flooding; I haven't had a D&C though.

Is there any chance this could be a new pregnancy? I conceived DS less than 2 weeks after my 3rd MC and hadn't had a period in between; my first symptoms were nausea and swollen boobs.

I’m sorry for your loss! My last MMC was in June and I had an MVA. My cycles were all over the place until I had a normal cycle (normal period & ovulation, no spotting, not ridiculously light etc) in October. So it can take a while to go back completely.

I had periods before then but they were not my typical length/heaviness/had blood in between etc. I waited until everything was back to normal and conceived that month (sadly had another MMC, with D&C scheduled for tomorrow).
