TTC After a Loss

First period

Hi girls, I'm new to the board.
I had a MM that was found on my first US on 9/27. Baby measured 7 weeks I was suppose to be 8 weeks. Did three rounds of cytotec before everything came out. It was horrible and had really bad cramps after cramps for about a week. So now finally I got my period on Sunday. It's so heavy. I'm having to change pad every hour not even worth wearing a tampon. How long is this heavy bleeding suppose to last??
I'm worried I may become anemic I've always been borderline anemic and had it at normal levels when we were TTC last time. After the MM my anemia was worse than ever.
I just want this bleeding to end. How long did the first period after miscarriage last for you guys??

On the positive side we can start TTC again after my period :)))

P.S. I'm new to all this lingo and don't really know what most abbreviations are.

Re: First period

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board.

    Mine lasted 8 days. I would also suggest calling your doctor about the heaviness of yours, especially if you have a history of anemia.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. As PP's have suggested, if you are filling a pad every hour that is to much. Call your doctor. Welcome to the board. ((Hugs))

  • I'm sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board.

    My first period is right now - I used to have light periods. This one is definitely heavier (but nothing like yours - however it's all relative). I think you should call your doctor to double check.

    I'm sorry for your loss- doctors rule is always if you're soaking through a pad (all the way to your clothing) an hour then go to the ER. Make sure to take iron pills if your prone to anemia- I am.

    Mine lasted 3.5 days VERY heavy w terrible clotting and very very faint spotting for 2-3 more days.

    Edit: hit send too quickly and then forgot to write edit note ;)
  • I'm sorry for your loss. My doc also said a pad per hour is too heavy. best of luck to you!
