Can't believe how pleased I am to have my period!

[nomorewine]

It is a month today since my ERPC & my period started this morning.
I feel so relieved to be getting my body back to some kind of normality - have never welcomed a period so much!
Am a little worried as to what to expect though as have read that periods can turn especially painful & heavy after the op.
This is a good sign though is it not?

The good sign being that my cycle seems to have returned so quickly that is!

quite odd to congratulating someone on getting af but, congrats anyway!

after my 1st erpc, i had a normal period roughly a month later, 2nd erpc brought a shockingly heavy af about 52 days after irrc. you can never tell whats going to happen.

are you ttc again or taking a break from it for a while?

Oh goodness, so you really never know what to expect. I was unsure how long it would take to get back to normal, so to me, this is kind of a good sign.

I am taking a break for now. Don't feel strong enough to try again now, and would like to get our house move sorted first.
Feel very divided atm. I had a MMC (found out at my 12 week scan that baby stopped growing at 7 weeks). Part of me desperately wants to be pregnant again, but the other half is just too frightened of going through the whole thing again. Think I am best waiting until I am feeling stronger emotionally.

mmc is horrid. 3 of my 4 mc have been missed. it's awful to have no real symptoms to indicate what has happened.

take a break and try not to think about it all too much. i had my last mc in sept 09 and am now pg again so have about 7 months 'off'. feel much stronger mentally get this time. even if it doesnt work out again, i sort of feel like it will be ok iysiw?. cant explain exactly what i mean, but its like i have made peace with the thought of it going wrong and i will be ok no matter what.

anyway, hope the housemove goes well! good luck when you do get back to ttc.

I am of your period returning but am very pleased for you, really! (though I admit it's an odd thing to be pleased about!)

After light spotting last weekend, nothing. I felt really prementrual and very sure it was abou to start. Then the light spotting disappeared and that was it. I don't feel as though a period is even remotely imminent now. Yet I could have sworn I ovulated about 3 weeks ago - I'm normally very in tune with it.

So now I'm really confused. I even did a pg test a couple of days ago but it was negative. I wish I knew what was going on with my body. I just want everything back to normal, or to at least know what is going on.

I just had my first period after mc/erpc 5 weeks ago - it was shorter than usual, only 3 days, and then on day 5 had a bit of spotting. So not what I was expecting. Hopefully will be back to normal next month.

hey all, I don't know if this is any help, but my periods used to be around 6 weeks apart and this caused three miscarriages over the space of 18 months, one of mine stopped growing at 5 weeks. After talking to a fertility specialist via a very good friend, he advised me to try baby aspirin. I took it in the october of 2008 for just a week and my periods were back to a 30 day cycle (not 28 but hey near enough!) and I decided not to try for at least three months. And guess what? In the April last year I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant, very apprehensively I carried on as normal and ended up having a healthy little girl in december. After talking to the specialist he said the foetus was settling into womb lining that was worn and came away too easily, the aspirin cleared it all out and thinned the blood to allow it to come out. I thought I could share this and hopefully something good will come of it

That's interesting, upset0808. So pleased to hear of your happy outcome.

mumatron - congratulations on your pregnancy - hope everything goes well for you this time.
7 months will probably be the kind of gap I will leave before trying again. Keep worrying about it happening again atm. It really knocked me for six, so feel I need a bit of a break for now.

My period was really quite heavy yesterday & the blood was quite dark, but today it seems a lot lighter. Sorry fot TMI!
I thought I ovulated the weekend before last, so period was pretty spot on. Hopefully this means my body is getting back on track, which I am pleased about. Hoping this means the hormones will settle too.

MP - hope your period shows up soon. The waiting for things to return to normal is horrible isn't it?
I had some spotting a good few days before mine started, then nothing, so hopefully yours is on its way.
