First AF...I should be happy! but..

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

During my m/c I remember saying 'I will never complain about AF pains again!' A week ago I also recall thinking of how excited I will be if AF shows up soon(it's been about 6 weeks since the start of my miscarriage).

Now I'm on day two and I feel like curling up into a ball and crying! My cramps are intense, my mood is all over the place, I have no motivation and don't want to look into the mirror. And to top it off, it's an official confirmation that there is no longer a little bean growing.  

I'm really just venting...what was your first AF experience after m/c? Was it as awful as mine??

    Thank you, and I'm sorry for yours as well. It really is an awful experience..

    It has been about 6 weeks since the whole process started. I was about 9 weeks when I had my m/c. They say it can take up to 8 weeks to get AF after a m/c, depending on how far along you were. How far were you?

    I am so sorry that you are going through that BUT at the same time Im so happy im not the only one.

    I was just saying how I couldnt wait to get af so we could begin to try again..

    I am almost 6 weeks out from my D&C from the loss at 16 weeks. Friday my spotting finally stopped since the d&C and yesterday morning I had some "light cramping". This morning I began having horrible cramping and AF arrived. My cramps are horrible with pretty hardcore back aches as well. I can only hope it gets better within the next few days.

    Hang in there :)

    Thanks for sharing. It really IS nice to know that you're not the only one with the same experience. 

    I'm sorry for your loss...but I'm so glad you were able to get AF pretty quickly after your m/c. I hope you're doing okay emotionally as well.

    Hanging in there right with ya :)
