TTC After a Loss

AF Question

I am sorry if this has been asked before but I was wondering...I am currently wait for 1st AF after miscarriage..I wanted to count back the days to see how long it has been to make sure I have accurate info do - I start the day I first started bleeding from my miscarriage , do I start the day I actually passed baby, or do I start the day I had my D&C..

I started bleeding March 28 - lost baby March 30 - had D&C April 4

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

Re: AF Question

  • For me, AF was different every time. I don't know if it matters a ton which day you count, since everything is pretty close together. I know when I took the cytotec, AF came 28 days after I passed everything. After the d&c, it was about 5 1/2 weeks after the procedure. After my second loss and d&c, I ovulated 2 weeks after the procedure...it all varies. Sorry, I don't think this response was much help!

  • Im not a pro at this stuff but I would start counting from the day of your D&C. It occurred last in that series of events, right? Just my opinion, FWIW.

  • Did you bleed a lot before Mar 30? If so, I'd start counting as of 28th, otherwise 30th. Normally CD1 = full on red flow. 

    PS- love your siggy :)

  • I started bleeding on March 28 and bled heavy like it was a full period even after I passed baby I still bled until my D&C once I had the procedure it stopped- ???

    My Dr. is telling me if I have not seen AF in 2 weeks to take a test? I am not sure why ??
