TTC After a Loss

1st AF after m/c = reliving everything all over again

Seriously did not expect so much blood and so much cramping.  It's awful and I feel like I am just reliving every terrible moment of my m/c.  I'm tired of cleaning up blood and not being able to leave the house.  It's like I can't move past this because my body won't let me.  And why oh why did my doctor not tell me how much blood, etc. there would be?  What a sh*tastic day.

  • Oh no Sad  Was it a natural m/c or d&c?  Thanks for the heads up, or this would be my post in a few weeks.  Sorry it's been so awful ((hugs))

  • I am so sorry.  That is really a horrible thing to have to go through.
  • I'm sorry you're going through this. I had a D&C and my first AF after m/c was VERY, very heavy and lots of clots. Not too much cramping, but the amount of blood just shocked me. I don't think we're ever properly warned about these things. I hope things get better for you soon!

  • I chose to m/c naturally but began having severe hemorraging and ended up with a D&C. 

    Thanks everyone for your encouragment.

  • ((((HUGS)))) The first AF is definitely the hardest.
  • (((hugs))) I'm so sorry girl. The first af after m/c is so rough, both physically and emotionally.

    This is so true and I wish I had known it would be like this.  I feel so blindsided by everything.  I'm kind of glad to know that what I'm feeling is normal and that other people have had this same experience.  I'm sorry that we're all here and dealing with these kinds of things.

  • I'm so sorry.  Mine was very heavy too.  It just plain sucks.  I hope you feel better soon!

  • Hi hun!!!! 

    Well, good news is that AF showed up.  Even though I had a natural m/c, my 1st AF was AWFUL and lots of huge clots, almost as bad as the m/c.  2nd one is not as bad, just very long and irregular. 

    I am so sorry having AF is bring back painful memories - I know how difficult it is!!!  It does take our bodies a little bit of time to get back to "normal " (whatever that is).  I am thinking of you!!!!!!

    ((HUGE HUGS))
