How long for body to get back to normal?

Lynda09 · Oct 19th, 2009, 14:58 PM

Hello everyone I hope your as well as poss. I was wondering how long after a mc does it take your body and hormones to get back to normal. I mc about two months but it seems to be taking ages for my body to get going again I've got pmt symptoms most of the time which get worse when my af is due I just want it all to go back to normal. My dr says I just need to give it time but I'm fed up

Hi, I miscarried this time last week. This morning I have had a negative pregnancy test, so hormones have gone. I was 3months gone so had a tummy showing, which has dramatically reduced - can actually do my trouser button up! And I think I've stopped bleeding.

I miscarried naturally, and when they scanned me they said everything had come away, just to expect bleeding.

Think it depends how far gone you was when you missed carried and if it was natural or had to have a d&c.

I no very little about it tho, apart from my own experience. Maybe others can add to what I've said or correct me x

I had a D&C last wednesday and they have said that I should recover within the week physically, and that the pregnancy hormones should go within 2, and that I can expect changes to my cycles...

Hi

these things can take time; I was getting negative tests a day or so after the m/c actually came out (was a missed miscarriage; and the day I found out I got a strong positive on my test, but things came out within 24 hours really think my body needed to know the truth psychologically to 'let go' of the pregnancy), at my two week scan they said I had a tiny piece of retained tissue but I've had some small tissue like clots coming out this week; so hopefully; it is all gone by my second scan on Thursday. No sign of AF yet though; and it has been almost a month since the mc. I hope things get back to normal for you soon!

I had a mmc 3 months ago - af wise it was back in 5 weeks and then regular thereafter however I am still getting pinching and stabby pains and have had a scan all was ok so am seeing a gynae on Monday, have only just got over the crying and tearfulness all the time and feel like the cloud has lifted and feel a bit more normal

Sorry you are feeling so horrible. After my D&C I still felt pregnant for a week or so after and had positive pregnancy tests 3 weeks after op. Did you have an op or was it natural? Did you have a scan to check all had come away? Hope all gets sorted for you soon xx

Hi,

It was 3 1/2 weeks before I finally got neg preg tests.

I've been doing ov tests but no sign of pos result there yet.

Spotting only ended about 3-4 days ago and I have just started TTC again.

I'm finally starting to feel back to normal.

Just waiting for either BFP or AF but either way I will be pleased cause if AF arrives I will know my body is getting back to normal too.

Take care

i had a d & c as I didnt m/c fully naturally. i think it took me about 2-3 months to feel completely back to 'normal'. i got pregnant again after the first try just under 4 months later so my body was defo sorted by then. Hope you feel better soon x

Hi there - I had a natural miscarriage 4 weeks ago today. I was 10 weeks along in my pregnancy. Bled for 5 days, spotted for 5 days after that. Last Saturday I got my first AF and its still here.

Hi all thank you all for your comments. Mine was a very early pregnancy and I felt pregnant for a month after even though negative tests my hormones feel all over the place. Ive got m.e so that prob doesnt help and ive always suffered with pmt but it seems to have been worse since my first af about a month ago everything just seems to be all over the place and im still getting cramps. I don't feel pregnant at all I just seem to have pmt symptoms all the time. Do you think my body just needs time to get back to normal?

Thanks

Lynda
