What is going on with my body? (Loss Mentioned)

sonpetitlapin

My cycles are getting worse and worse since my loss back in May.  It is getting frustrating now since we have  choose to TTC.  No, I am not temping/charting/or OPKs yet.  If you remember from my check in I was having the AF from hell.  It lasted 12 days.  I just got off of it on 10/2.  No I am having bleeding again??  It is light and pinkish.  I have never had break through bleeding (if that is what it is) or anything to that nature. It was just when I wiped it barley there this morning.  It is still only when I wipe, but more. I know you guys are not doctors.  But any idea what it could be?

I've been having very irregular and long periods this last year. Bleed for 2 weeks, stop for a few days, bleed again for a few days to a few weeks. Longest I bled was 6 weeks straight. My RE said I was having anovulatory cycles and what I thought was my period, was not a period at all but just irregular bleeding while my endometrium lining was getting thicker because it wasn't getting shed like a regular period does. Had to go on progesterone to induce a real period and shed my thick lining. I am so sorry for your loss in May, so I am not sure if your body is hormonally balanced yet, if it's not maybe that could be the reason for your crazy cycles?

I would start charting.  I drive myself nuts with it (over analyze constantly), but it really does give me an idea of what my body is doing.  I will say that my cycle last month was the first normal one since my mc in early March.  I don't know what my body was doing with Oing before that (since I didn't want to chart), but I would gain 6 lbs in retained fluid before AF and the length was not completely predictable (I had a 14 day, 21 day, 27 day, 28 day, two 26 day, and then back to 27 day cycles).  Do you have any cysts or fibroids?  Do you know for sure there is no retained tissue?  You may want to follow up with your gyn.

Definitely start charting/temping, it's even more important to do so if your cycles are wonky - those who are more regular will find patterns over time and often not need to chart, but for anyone who is the slightest bit irregular it's the only way to pinpoint when you're ovulating and thus have any chance at good timing aside from just having sex EOD for a month.

As for bleeding again, what you're describing sounds like spotting, not actual bleeding.  I have spotting a lot through my cycles, and my doctors haven't been concerned.  It's actually quite common to have mid-cycle spotting, especially around ovulation time - if you were temping you might be able to confirm that it is in fact ovulation bleeding.  At any rate, as you can see we're pretty big proponents of temping to figure things out, it's the only way to try to make sense of things.

Thank you Ladies.  I do need to get in and see my Doctor.  This has turned into full bleeding. It is heavy today and I passed very large clots this morning.  I am pretty sure there is no retained tissue. About three weeks after the loss (had a D&C) I started hemorrhaging, stomach/back pains and general malaise.  They did a vaginal u/s and found it to be clear.  They also did a wet pap and it came back I had a uterine/cervical infection.  I have never had any issues with cyst or fibroids in the past.  

It has been maddening in general how out of whack my body has been.  I do need to get into the doctors to get this all sorted out.

I would call my doctor if I were having the clots/bleeding as you describe Especially after a D&C.  Best wishes

@kelley72 I am defiantly calling the doctor today to get in and see them.  The D&C though was back in May when I had the loss.  I have been off ever since.  At first I chopped it up to hormones.  But this long? I am 5 months out. (just venting)

I'm so sorry about the bleeding.  I agree with PP about calling your doctor.  I had a D&C in July and have not had spotting or bleeding after my first post surgery period.  However, my CM and lining does not seem as thick as it was before my loss so I would consider myself not back to normal.  Hope you get the answers you need soon.  Good Luck!
