1st period after m/c...A question.

StephieLM · May 2010

So this is a really silly question =/ sorry lol! And no I'm not charting yet or anything, and I know everyone/every cycle is different but....I was curious if this has happened to anyone else...

I miscarried exactly 5 weeks ago yesterday. So I was surprised/happy when I got my period yesterday...well I'm hoping it's a normal period. But it's like brown spotting mixed with some red, so not a normal period really yet...its almost exactly like weird spotting I had after the m/c

And also my boobs do not hurt AT ALL...which yes should be a good thing, but they always hurt on my period, I mean you could punch them and it wouldn't hurt at all...?

SO anyway...lol...I feel stupid for posting this..but I'm hoping this is totally normal, and that I'm still having a normal "period"..I'm sure my body is just trying to get back to normal?? But if it's not a period then I don't know why I would be spotting to begin with...I need to stop talking now.

Can anyone relate??

Thanks girls

Before my loss, my boobs would always hurt right before my period would start. Since the loss they don't hurt anymore, it kinda stinks because it was a warning that af was on her way.

First I'm so sorry for your loss.

Second, yes - I can relate! Nothing has been totally normal as far as my cycle is concerned since our m/c. Your body has been through a trauma, so don't expect it to be back to what you recall as normal immediately. I think it's good though that you are paying attention to the details so you know what's going on with your body. I just started charting last weekend because my cycles have been odd since the m/c. Hopefully this will help make more sense of them.

Good luck!

Thanks girls...wow I am glad to hear this is normal

I was starting to think this isnt even a period...maybe spotting in between or something!

And I am sorry for both or your losses as well =( hugs!xo

I'm sorry for your loss. I can relate to things being different after your m/c; I would say to just be thankful it didn't take too long and hopefully things are back to working how they should be. I can also relate to the post-beers lack-of-clarity! Are you cleared to start ttc again after AF? If so, good luck!

Hi - how have you been doing?

My periods (just had my 2nd one after m/c) are completely different than prior. AF use to be 6 full days with cramps and heavy bleeding. I use to be able to tell when she would be about to show too - cramps and my boobs would hurt for about a week.

Now, my periods are about 2-3 days, very light and no cramps. My boobs don't hurt at all and can't tell when she's arriving. I thought it wasn't a period either, but sounds like the m/c can change everything.

Orangecrush9! Yes we're totally cleared! so....Im drinking just tonight and I'm still taking my prenatals and everything..

My doctor is actually so chill (don't know if thats a good thing or not) that he said if I got pg before my first period came "if it happens it happens" haha...but yeah we didnt "try" this month.

Arath1...I remember you ..Im great! how are you? I'm sorry for your loss =(

It's weird how different a m/c can make things...but I'm glad you all have had similar things happen, now i'm not worried ....but having the cramps and sore boobs was always a good sign for AF...oh well...lol, i hate cramps
