Hi everyone, been lurking for a while but about the start trying again so thought I would introduce myself.
Came off the pill in May and conceived 4 months later (first pregnancy). Went for my dating scan at 9 weeks and the baby was only 6w3d and no heartbeat, a few more tests confirmed I had a mmc. We first tried the pills but that didn't work so ended up having a d&c.
After I stopped bleeding from surgery, I had some spotting then finally a very short light period. Like clockwork my second one has come now but it is insanely heavy with very large clots. At any rate I have waited as long as my midwife advised so while I am scared out of my mind that this might happen again I really can't wait to start ttc.

Sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group

lokibear89 Sorry for your loss and that the pills didn't work so you've been drug through this process for a while! Welcome to our group. Also, I know the fear is there and it's not always comforting to hear, but MC is common and many come to this group and 2-9 months later get a BFP and are gone. Those of us who are here for years with RPL are actually rare and the exception, rather than the rule!

@lokibear89 im so sorry for your loss but welcome to the group. It’s tough mentally to start trying again after a loss, but like @dpjennifer said above, statistics are in your favor to go on to have a healthy pregnancy after a loss, so I hope that’s the case for you.

I'm so sorry for loss. Know that your feelings are valid and normal. Welcome to the group. I hope your stay here is short.

I’m so sorry for your loss, but welcome to the group.

Having kind of weird cycles after a d&c can be normal, so try not to get too worried about it- although it sounds like your midwife is helpful and supportive so that is great.

so sorry for your loss, I hope you can find comfort in this group

lokibear89 · January 2018

Thanks all

@lin0442 the midwife ( only one on the island i live on) is also a nurse working next door to me (I am a pharmacist). So it's quite easy to pester her when she comes in to drop off a script

Welcome. I hope you don’t need to be here for long!

@lokibear89 - I am so so sorry for your loss. I had to have laparoscopic surgery at 9 weeks so I know your pain all too well. I had the same thing happen with blood cots after and it was really scary. Now I know that it was normal unfortunately and nothing to worry about. If you need anyone to talk to or ask questions I'm here for you. Our procedures were a little different but I went through the same thing with recovering. I basically just slept and snuggled my dog and heating pad for a straight week. I hope you have a smooth recovering and again I'm so very sorry you are going through this.

@lokibear89 I am sorry for your loss. FWIW, I was so surprised at the heaviness of AF after the D&C. I barely bled after the D&C but AF (I can't remember if it was the first or second AF) afterward was horrendous - super heavy with lots of clots. I thought it would have been lighter given the fact that my ute was just scraped clean, but I guess not. I hear heavy AFs post D&C are pretty normal though. Hope your stay here is short!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group. I also had a MMC and D&C. I hope you find the support you need here on your TTCAL journey

Sorry to hear of your loss, and welcome to the board. I had a D&C almost two weeks ago and I'm waiting for my first AF. It's scary not knowing what to expect and being unsure of what your body is going to do. I hope your stay here is short
