I'm guessing everyone is different, but I'm curious how long we may have to wait to TTC again. So when was your first period after m/c? Was it similar to your normal period?
Thanks!

Mine was 5 weeks post m/c and quite a bit lighter than usual. I haven't had a second AF yet, so I'm anxious to see if my cycle goes back to normal. I was like clockwork, every 28 days and lasted 7 days.
I miscarried in (early) August and didn't have another period until late September. My Dr told me to give it two normal cycles before trying again and while I hated hearing that, I did end up having to wait. Hopefully, we get a positive result this month. November 18th is the earliest!
Mine started 27 days after my procedure. It currently seems normal. It seemed to happen fast, I think I didn't ovulate in the cycle between my miscarriage and period because I didn't have the changes in my CM I'd expect. Good luck, I hope things regulate themselves quickly.

Mine was about 40 days later. My usual cycle is 24-26 days. I didn't ovulate that cycle. That first period was weird, as was the second one, although we got pg that second cycle (and now m/c again).
Wow, alot of variety. Thanks, ladies. I'm counting down the days, which isn't particularly helpful since I don't know when it will be, but it's what is keeping me sane.

It is different for all of us, but I understand wanting to know about others' experiences. Depending upon how you look at it, my period came 31 days after the start of my m/c or 21 days after the m/c bleeding stopped.
This was my experience, exactly. My period was a bit heavier than usual and lasted 2 days longer than usual. I have read so many stories online about women saying their first period was lighter or heavier after... it really is different for everyone.
My doctor cleared me to TTC again right away because my levels dropped so quickly, but we did not conceive again right away. Again, I have read so many stories online about this- some say that you're "more fertile" immediately after because your uterus really "cleans itself out" (for lack of a better phrase), however even though we did the exact same thing as the cycle before, it didn't work. Who knows.
