m/c

Hi Lucylooloo,

Firstly very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. *Hugs* to you.

I had a m/c in early Feb and got my next period 5 or 6 weeks later. It lasted 7 days (usually they last 5 days) and it was very very light for the first few days before getting a little heavier. I haven’t had another period since but I am expecting one in the next couple of weeks (inless I am pg again). I started a post back then about life after m/c and I know some of the lovely ladies on here posted about their experiences after m/c. From memory, I think having no periods for a few months afterwards is normal as is getting extremely heavy and painful periods. But the general consensus seems to be that for a while after a m/c things can be irregular and irratic.

Perhaps speak to your dr if things don’t get back to “normal” soon??

Best of luck.

my m/c was the ninth of feb this year

Hi Lucy, cycles and bleeding can be very erratic after m/c. Talk with your doctor (or whoever told you it was m/c) if you're still worried but it does sound within the realms of "normal". I had my m/c last February (2006), it's hard going especially after you've had kids and don't expect it will happen (well I guess no one really expects a m/c though). Big hugs! And hope you can get on the TTC road soon enough again.
