Hello
I am just going through my first m/c - an early one at just 5 weeks. I was just wondering how long I can expect the bleeding to last and how heavy it usually is? My doctor said a few days and it might be heavier than normal, and I know it varies from woman to woman.
The reason I'm asking is that mine seems a bit lighter than my normal periods, which are usually heavy in the first couple of days. It was definitely heavy enough to wear proper towels yesterday though, so I'm not getting my hopes up that it's anything other than a m/c. But I thought it would be even heavier than normal. And it also seems to be tailing off now after just two days - still there but I am contemplating switching to panty liners as it's pretty light now. And I didn't get much cramping at all - probably less than a normal period.
We want to start trying again straight away, so I'm also nervous that this really light bleeding is just going to carry on for ages and my cycle won't go back to normal and I won't ovulate for weeks.
Like I said, I know it varies from woman to woman but I would be grateful to hear anyone else's experience.
thanks xx
