Anxiety before periods after miscarriage

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this.

I had a miscarriage last July (around 8 weeks) and then another in December (around 7 weeks). Had an MVA both times.

Since my last miscarriage I feel very anxious for the week before my period. Two cycles so far. Has anyone else experienced this? I was always a little anxious before my period but I have noticed a big difference.

I'm 43 so also hoping it's my hormones after the miscarriages rather than peri menopausal hormones.

Also, on a side note, did anyone reading this have a successful pregnancy after 2 MVAs?

Thank you ☺️

Hi @Aquacoast9 - I can't comment on the MVAs but my general anxiety went a little bit mad after my miscarriage. I was freaking out about very odd things and health anxiety went through the roof. I fell pregnant a couple of months later and found my anxiety went haywire again, so I figured it was probably hormones!

Fingers crossed for you in 2025 🤞🏼

Hi @OptimisticRealist2024,
Thank you for your reply 😊, it's helpful and reassuring to know that other people experience similar things. I've also cut out decaf coffee and that seems to have helped (not sure if it's linked or just a coincidence).
Thanks again
