periods after medical management???

[Jakey87]

hi girls,
i was wondering how long any of you waited for your first period after medical management of mc?
iv been feeling rotten today, like i normaly would just before a period.
it has been 3 weeks since i had medical management and the bleeding only stoped 6 days ago. i thought i would have to wait around a month after bleeding stopped for my period to return so as i cant see my doctor untill friday im wondering if feeling like this is somthing i should be worried about even though i have no typical signs of infection. no fever or smelly discharge etc.
any advice?

Hi Jakey. Sorry you are going through this. It's a horrible time.

I didn't have medical management so not exactly an expert, but I believe you can expect your period any time between 4 and 7 weeks after you completely stop bleeding. There really needs to be at least 4 weeks to resume any semblance of a normal cycle as the lining needs to rebuild and your hormone levels need to settle down. Unfortunately, it can be longer for some people, but just be on the lookout for a fever or signs of infection (as you obviously are doing) and don't be afraid to tell your GP about any concerns at all. You may find that they suggest a course of antibiotics to eliminate any potential infection, but the way you are feeling could be purely down to haywire hormones. I hope you feel much better soon.

This site might be of some use to you. I found it really helpful in answering some of my questions after my mc.

Hi, I had MM on 1st April, but then bled a few days, then spotted a few days, then bled a couple of days, then spotted for a while, then nothing, so I don't even know when I was supposed to count from!

The nothing lasted just over two weeks when I started feeling awful, thought I was just struggling with my job, then after a few days of that thought it felt a bit like the worst PMT ever. Then spotted a bit for several days, and wondered whether I was having a very light period. The bleeding didn't seem like a period, but the PMT, and then the easing of PMT as the spotting started seemed like a period. I just felt like I just "knew" it was my period, nothing else really made sense.

Then on Monday after a few days of spotting it turned into normal period flow. Tuesday was really heavy for me, but today just seems like a normal period.

So as I say I don't really know when to count from in terms of when the bleeding stopped (they say 21+ days after bleeding stopping, but you may still spot after that) or indeed when to count my AF as starting! So for me it's a bit weird, but kinda came sooner than I thought it would. Maybe that helps you a bit?!!

thanks girls,
thanks tad for the site il have a look on there later when i can face it all.
im seeing doc tomorrow so hopefully i will get some answers to alot of questions i have then.
