First cycle after loss??

[Semanthia]

I am not sure if this is the right place for this. I am not ready to start TTC for atleast a couple more months but I am ready for a normal regular cycle again. I am a little over 6 weeks past delivery and I am very anxious for my period to come back. My cycles were very messed up before and I am just ready for it to come back so I can start tracking to see if things are straightened out. I was just wondering when all of you ladies got yours. My doctor told me that if I don't get it in the next two weeks to call her and she will jump start my cycle.

Hi,
I'm sorry for your loss x I lost my baby at 14 weeks on 29 Jan & my first AF came 52 days later x

Hi
I lost Archie at 16+6 weeks on the 30th of January, I have irregular cycles they've never been very good, but I got first AF 5 weeks after having Archie. However, I'm now on CD29 of my first cycle since my first AF and still haven't ovulated!
Hope AF comes soon for you.
Love Sarah x

I lost my daughter at 18 weeks and gave birth to her on March 3rd and I bled for 2 weeks and I am still waiting for it to come and today is April 2, they told me 4 to 6 weeks for my period so i should get it no later than April 14th.

Hope this helps . so sorry for your loss

I gave birth to our daughter 5 weeks ago and was wondering this too as I still haven't had a period yet. Hoping it comes for both of us soon. I have had some signs like mild cramps this last week but still nothing!!!

I delievered our baby naturally at 18 weeks on March 9th.... no AF yet. I'm hoping like everyone else up to 6 weeks, but than again knowing my luck I'll be a lady that might have to wait ages! argh!

Does anyone know whether you need to stop bleeding a certain time before AF comes? I'm still spotting teeny bits so not sure if thats going to affect anything?

Love and prayers to you ladies

I gave birth at 18 weeks on 4th sept..
i bled and then spotted for around 3-4 weeks, my AF came about 5-6 weeks.. that was very light and mostly spotting...
Good luck i hope AF shows up soon for you !

My lil Emma was just taken from me 8 LONG days ago and wondered how long do we bleed after delivery? Is it the same as a normal delivery? A few weeks?? My doctor didn't discuss that me & with everything else I didn't think to ask ...

Thanks Girls!

Kam, I'm sorry for your loss I bled for 2 weeks after and then had blood tinged cm for a week or so, some women bleed less, some more, I hope its not too long for you.

Still waiting for first af though hopefully not too much longer!

I stopped bleeding completely after 2 weeks that was March 17th and I am still waiting for my period and today is the 4th, the 14th of April will be my six weeks. I think all women are different I bled for 2 weeks some might be more, so from that point it probably takes another 4 weeks , 6 weeks total for your period. But like I said all women are not the same so it would not surprise me if we could go to 7 or 8 weeks. But by 8 weeks I would most definitely go to the doctor

The 20th will be my 6 weeks.... I'm really hoping that AF gets here then. Not sure if starting straight after that would affect any chances of MCing again... but to be fair thats a risk no matter how long you wait! xxx

I don't think that would affect it at all. Some doctors tell you to try again right away some say 2 cycles some 1, it's so confusing and half the time I think these doctors don't know what the he!! they are talking about. Most people do start right away and i have never read anywhere that it would be a problem if you do .

So sorry to hear about your losses ladies

I bled for about 2 weeks, stopped, then had a minor postpartum haemmorage which was very distressing, bled for another week, then stopped. Madison was born on 7/2/11 and AF arrived 26/3/11 for 3 days very light.

Hope AF comes soon fr you, i was TTC again before this came, but i know a lot of doctors say you usually go back to "normal" hormone levels after your first AF, so fingers Xd for you xxx

Sorry ladies I posted this and then wasn't able to get online to check it out.
I think I might have started yesterday but it is kind of weird. I have not bleed for a little over 3 weeks and I delivered a little over 6 weeks ago. It is really light but enough for a pad. I am assuming since I haven't bleed for so long that this is my cycle.
