first AF after mc??

[buffycat]

i've done a complete search of the internet and there seems to be very little info on when AF reappears after a mc.....

i miscarried on march 29th, and my cycle is normally 31days.....so, i'm now 8 days late....

obviously i'm not keeping my hopes up that this is a good sign, but for 'practical' reasons, it really would be handy to know when AF will appear....

does anyone have any words of wisdom on this.....?

Hiya

From what I have read on here it varies so much from person to person hope the arrives for you very soon and you can get trying for your

 

[buffycat]

thanks.....

it is all a worry.....

you look worried too....hope all is ok with you......

 

[golcarlilly]

I am worried, thought when I had my medical management it would all be over quickly but seems now I may have to go for a d & c and the thought of it terrifies me

Same thing is driving me mad honey!! 33 days since i started to bleed and no af!! I have tried to have a look through some things on the internet but it just makes me feel worse!! 3 months or 10 weeks or worse! Had 2 m/c's prior to this and had AF 2 weeks later, it will be 5 weeks on thursday!! Feel for you sweetheart, keep us informed though! x x x

 

[buffycat]

oh my gosh.....that sounds awful....

with me it was almost surreal, after the scan to say no heartbeat i've not seen anyone at all, just bled for 12 days.....and then nothing....

maybe i have naively assumed that all will return to normal again.....

 

[Vivanco]

it will eventually sweetie, the body is an amazing thing, have you got a check up soon??

really random then! eek.....driving me batty now!

i have no check ups planned though....thinking about scheduling a smear but nothing was ever said to me.....

 

[Vivanco]

did you go to an early pregnancy clinic they will see you if you have any concerns, or your doc, if you just wanted to have a check up x

 

[buffycat]

went to wolverhampton new cross EPU on April 1st, they confirmed the worst........i was 10 weeks

not seen anyone since then......might give the GP a call to get the all clear....

just so depressing really....back to square one.....!

 

[Vivanco]

i know! a few days after mine i got my letter for my 12 weeks scan, i would have been 14 weeks this week and it makes me so sad that i have to start all over again, i know how hard it is sweetie, but the all clear might give u a lift to try again or think about trying again x x x

 

[buffycat]

right, you've spurred me into action!

i've just called the docs and am booked in for Monday (so that i get to see the 'nice-though-slightly-mad' doctor). If AF hasn't gotten here by then, i'll be wanting some answers!

where in Midlands are you?

 

[Vivanco]

well done you!!!! Nottingham x

I had d & C on march 28th and bleed for quite a while then had to get another doze of cyotec to finish it all off (i had a blighted ovum, so there was just a sac). My af came yesterday so mine was 5 weeks and i think 3 days! the average is 4-6 weeks but it can be either end.

I will tell u sumthing im soo happy its here as now thats me "normal" again, for the want of a better word.

Hope it happpens soon

I'm also waiting for my AF. I miscarried 30 days ago. Today I felt some cramps and had some white discharge... I don't know what this means. My husband and I haven't been using any birth control since our loss so maybe I'll get a instead but then I wouldn't know why I'm having cramps. I'll keep you posted as when I start my AF.

right, well i'm still waiting after 42 days......

will test on Monday before going to the doctors......

Sweatpea - how are you doing?

 

[Sweatpea24]

I'm doing good... Thanks for asking! How are you doing? I'm going to test at the end of this month if I haven't got my period by then.

 

[buffycat]

ah, the got me after 6 weeks and 3 days........part of me had wondered if there was another reason for being so late

so, kinda feeling emotionally beaten up at the moment.

I know this is a good thing really, just have to get back into the mood now!

off to the doctors tomorrow though, more for a reassurance thing i think...

to you all.....

Awww Buffycat, glad af came for you eventually, Im still waiting too, had a natural mc 1st april so at the mo has been 4 weeks 10 days since and still nothing, after my last mc af came back bang on 28 days but i suppose its different for each mc, I hope we both get a special sticky soon xx

Hi, I had a natural m/c at 6 weeks and i bled for about a week, got my first AF Yday 27 days after, I was a bit dissappointed as i was hoping to catch again straight away but at the same time I know you should allow your body time to recover, guess if i didnt and i m/c again i would have blamed myself for being sooo impatient! hoping to try again now though, gutting going right back to the begining i should be about 10 weeks now and I seem to be seeing baby bumps everywhere! Ive also turned into one of those obsessive PG testers i cant help myself

Hope you are all feeling well
