TTC After a Loss

Intro & question

Hi Ladies,

My name is Lees and I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks ( first pregnancy) and d&c on May 18th;( I?ve been posting on the Miscarriage board but finally feeling ready to post here and offer support where I can as hubby and I are ttc again. We?re not tempting or using opk?s yet but plan on using the opk?s next cycle.

Emotionally I was a big mess for about a month after surgery, but counseling, massage and acupuncture have been helping me feel happier and stronger although I definitely still have my down days;(

I?m wondering if you ladies can help me out with something that I?m experiencing. I posted this question over on the miscarriage board but wondering if anyone here has had anything similar? Before my miscarriage I had regular cycles of 30 days and when AF would arrive I would get red blood spotting for a day then heavy red blood for 3 days before tapering off. My first AF came 32 days post d&c and now I?m experiencing brown discharge/blood again like I did after my d&c. Yesterday it was just brown discharge when I wiped but today I woke up to brown blood on my panties.( sorry tmi) I understand from another Bumpie that this could be due to low Progesterone so I have made an appointment with my doc. I also have no idea exactly when I am getting AF as I don?t know when I ovulated but assuming it will be this Sat if I have another 32 day cycle.

Ugh I hate that things are different now and that I have no idea what this brown blood is, it?s really freaking me out. Could AF just be a different colour now or maybe this is old blood? Has anyone else experienced brown discharge/blood?

Thanks for any responses and I?m so sorry for all your losses.

Lees xx

    I'm so sorry for you loss. As others have mentioned, your cycle post mc can be totally wonky. Before my mc, AF showed up on day one, bright red, no mistaking she was here. Since my mc, I start spotting dark brown blood 2-3 days before that slowly gets heavier and turns more red. I hope you are able to find comfort and support here, and that your stay is short and sweet.

    My Ovulation Chart

  • Hi and welcome.

    Your cycles can (and probably will be) pretty weird after a m/c. It's not necessarily an indicator of ANYTHING wrong. There's no need for you to go to your doctor. Start charting (so you actually know when you are ovulating, as opposed to guesssing) and give it a few months.

  • Thank you everyone for welcoming me and your responses to my question. I really appreciate it;)

    I'm feeling alot better now knowing that others have had similar experiences. It's all still so new and fresh but I guess I'll just have to accept that things will be different now with AF going foward.

    Thanks again and oh I checked out the blog, it's amazing! Thank you!
