Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
1st regular AF after MC
I am on the heels of my 1st AF after having a MC and I feel like a wreck! Physically, my symptoms are terrible. Emotionally, I am a disaster. I hardly recognize myself and despite feeling improved from the devastating MC, I am shattered again. It feels really fresh again and is hard to cope. Is it hormones? Has anyone else had a similar 1st post MC AF?

I'm having mixed feelings about AF returning, too. On one hand, I can't wait for it to get here so we can move forward with TTC again. But on the other hand, it is just so depressing for it to arrive, knowing that I shouldn't be having one if I was still pregnant.
Hormones make me super emotional, so I'm sure I'll be a crying mess when it shows.
I'm sorry you are having a tough time.

I am finishing my first AF after MC, too. I have been an emotional wreck. Yesterday I was bleeding through a tampon every hour for 5 hours straight-- I finally got a hold of a nurse at my doctor's office and she told me to take motrin to slow the bleeding. Well after I took it my bleeding completely stopped. Totally. Gone. Started back up again today full force, but not as bad as yesterday.
It has been super emotional for me and I have been really irritable and a little depressed. I would love to know if it is hormones or if I am just losing my sanity. I was looking forward to AF: like pp said, I was thinking it would be a sign my body was returning to normal. And I am excited to know where my body is at physically, but it has been so hard. It is a reminder that I am not where I hoped to be at this time-- and a reminder of the horrible mc I went through.
I hope this all gets easier.....
