AF? (siggy warning)

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Hi girls I'm hoping this is ok to ask here.... So I just got my first AF post natural m/c and it only lasted 2 days of full on bleeding. I had 2 days spotting before and now I am spotting 2 days after. This is just really confusing to me because my AF after my first m/c was really horrible (heavy and long). A typical AF usually lasts 5 days for me. I was just really hoping my body would be back to normal so we could TTC but now I am not sure if this is a sign we should wait longer or what? 

If you have already gotten AF was it normal for you? Would you wait for a normal AF to TTC or would you just dismiss this one being much shorter and TTC anyways?

    We received the clearance to ttc after my 1st AF.  It was really heavy & longer than usual, but we tried anyway.  As for shorter AFs, I had one (pre-pg) that was about a day & a half.  We kept trying.  It's really up to you on what you want to do.

    Hi there,

     I think AF post m/c is definitely wacky.  Everyone has different experiences.  I had 2 just a little over a week apart.  We waited to TTC until the bleeding stopped the second time around.

    I don't know if I can help, but I miscarried naturally, and I was told to wait at least 2 years before TTC.

    I am very sorry for your loss! My OB gave me the ok to start TTC after my first AF or whenever I am emotionally ready. We waited 6 months after my first m/c because I wasn't emotionally ready yet and I had another m/c since so I am def ready to get back to TTC right away this time. I know every doc is different but I haven't heard of waiting 2 yrs before. If you are not wanting to wait that long I def recommend getting a second opinion :)
