Length of physical recovery?

Its been a week now since we lost our baby at 11 weeks preg. I thought I was getting stronger each day (physically) but today after a short outing I was completely exhausted and had to sleep again.
Ive got 1 more week off work,..yesterday I was thinking that I would really be sweet to go back this week, but after today Im worrying that maybe I wont be ready even after another week off.
Emotionally Im doing better than I would have thought, but tomorrow DH goes back to work, so Im gonna be back doing school drop-off/pick-ups and taking DS to playgroup / music etc, so Im gonna have to face a lot of people that knew I was preg and will have been wondering where I was last week.

Sorry u are going through this too. Thanks, I guess I need to give myself more time,...I was just feeling stronger each day and then kinda crashed today.

Ive been hearing of so many people who concieve straight away after a mc, but I dont think Im gonna be ready physcially or emotionally for a lot longer than that.

sorry you are going through this.

One thing I find after miscarrying is a rock bottom ferritin (iron stores) level. Its supposed to be between 15-?150 (depending on unit of measurement used) and I have had to push everytime for this to be checked, even though it has been mega low in the past (last miscarriage was measured pre misoprostol at something over 25 (I can't remember how much) - after one session of misoprostol it dropped to 9 and then after 2 months of retained products (and iron pills!) it was 5. Low iron stores affects the effectiveness of oxygen getting round your body and can leave you feeling tired, weak, dizzy etc.
You can get this read privately (I did) its about $20. There's also your haemoglobin which iirc should be over 100, maybe 120 (sorry, I haven't looked up this stuff for a while).

Feel free to ignore if you have already looked into this
