Hello, all! I also posted in the TTCAL thread but have yet to receive a response so I thought I would try here.
We found out we were expecting in May and in early June received the devastating news that our baby had no heartbeat. I went the natural route this time after two previous D&Cs. I didn't start bleeding until around June 28th and didn't lose the baby until July 12th, then I had about a week more bleeding before it finally stopped.
We've decided to start TTC again but I wanted to have at least one period for dates however I'm not sure when to expect it. I know my midwife told me typically within 4-8 weeks of your miscarriage but I'm not sure if this starts by the day I started bleeding or not until the day I passed everything (June 12th)? Does anyone know what I should go by?
With my previous D&Cs I had a period 6 weeks after the first one and 4 weeks after the second but I know natural miscarriages take much longer. My pregnancy tests are negative so I know my hcg hormones are gone. Not to sound harsh in any way but this waiting is torture, not to mention the bleeding for 23 days that I had, and I'm very impatient to start actively trying again.
