Cycles after miscarriage

[cb2191]

Hi everyone

Is anyone in the same boat or can offer any advice please?

I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks pregnant on 8th April. I had my first cycle 3.5 weeks later. We have started TTC again and last month I started spotting on the day I thought my period would come. I ended up spotting for 8 days and then my period finally arrived.

This cycle I bled for 7 days, now I am cycle day 12 and have been spotting for 3 days now. Is this normal? Why am I spotting so much? I can’t help but feel like something is not right. I have decided to try ovulation sticks this month to try and pin point ovulation as my cycle seems to be so erratic. I thought this cycle would be a bit more normal as it’s been 10 weeks since I miscarried now. But all this spotting between cycles is bothering me.

If anyone can offer any advice or similar stories I’d really appreciate it x

Did you test negative for pregnancy following your miscarriage? If you didn't this could be the miscarriage still with retained tissue.

Yes I did. I had to do a test 3 weeks post miscarriage. Also had negative tests when I thought I might be pregnant with the cycle I just had as was 8 days late

Ah ok, sorry just wanted to check. Hopefully someone else has had a similar experience and can offer some advice soon.

My periods have been so weird after miscarriages. First miscarriage (6/7 weeks) I had spotting before each period for 3 or 4 days. Never had spotting before a period before then, and it lasted I think 3 full cycles before going back to normal. Didn’t have spotting after the period though. Second miscarriage at 10 weeks, my first period after was so bizarre (had a random long bleed that was stop/start 4 weeks later, thought maybe it was a period, then two weeks after that had my actual period). I’ve just started my third proper period after and this one I only had one day of spotting before (previous months it was more like 4). So I’m hoping it’s getting back to normal again. Your spotting does sound much longer than mine though so maybe warrants a GP visit?
