I stopped bleeding after my early miscarriage nearly a week ago - I am due to do the follow-up HPT tomorrow or Tuesday. But it's like my body still thinks I'm pregnant. I am bloated and retaining weight, I'm exhausted, my hands and lips are dry and cracking but my hair is extra full and shiny. I have constant headaches. My daughter has gone off my milk (she's still nursing). It just feels exactly like the first stages of my previous pregnancies, to the point where I have half-convinced myself that I am still pregnant, even though I know I cannot be. It's like a sick joke.
Has anyone else experienced this? It was such an early loss (5-6 weeks) that I wouldn't have expected it to take much time for my hormone levels to go back to normal. The ongoing symptoms are a constant reminder of what has happened. I'd really appreciate it if anyone else is willing to share their experiences - is this normal? Thanks x
