TTC After a Loss

Question about CP

Hi all, as some of you know, I was briefly gone with a BFP from our last FET but beta never got above 7 so I am back after a chemical pregnancy. Can anyone give me some insight into what this period will be like? I just got my period today and it's so much heavier than usual. I didn't anticipate that at all.

It looks like this is the end of our TTC road and I'm still in the numb stage.

Thanks for any insights you may be able to share.

Re: Question about CP

  • (((((((( so many hugs ))))))

    With my CP earlier this summer my AF was really heavy for about 6 days. It then just tapered off suddenly and turned to spotting. I was also way more than crampy than usual but nothing tylenol didn't take care of.

    I'm so sorry Liz. The universe is unfair.

  • Liz,  I am so, so sorry ((((hugs)))).

    With my CP, my period was a little heavier than normal and cramping was a bit worse on the day that I actually miscarried. Duration was not much different than normal for me.

  • I'm so sorry, Liz. With my earliest loss (4w6d, so probably considered a CP?) I had a heavier flow with lots of clots. So sorry you're facing this.

  • Oh @lizblue - I'm so sorry you have to go through this.  MY CPs were definitely heavier bleeding at the beginning and tapered off some.  I had heavier clotting which I wasn't expecting being that it was so early on when the CPs happened, but that's how it happened.  So many hugs being sent your way.  If you need anything, holler.
