Period after miscarriage

After my first mc I had 18 days from the start of bleeding (so day of D&C in your case) to start of first af, hope this is a proper af for you as its a good sign your body has settled back into normal hormonal patterns already

I had a fews days break and then some more bleeding... So it could still be post D&C bleeding (especially if you have had special cuddles or exercised more than normal)....

Keep an eye on it, it does seem awfully quick for your hormones to have settled and your HCG to be gone. Did your GP or MW give you a form to check your bloods at all?

I hope it is AF though chicken, that would be just awesome!

Hi Bobsta,

I hate to say it but would definitely not be AF. I had some bleeding for a few days 14 days post MC and thought the same but my OB said definitely not AF....you need at least 3-4 weeks post MC to get AF. He talked me through the process etc (which confirms it's not AF) but I won't write it all out here...too much to explain.

I wouldn't worry though....like I said to you on another thread, MC does play havoc with your hormones and *some times* it's common to not actually ovulate for 2-3 months post MC...but you can still get AF. Just monitor what you're experiencing but I wouldn't be surprised if in 4-6 weeks time you do get proper AF.

Another thing is - when you do get first AF it is likely to be very painful, heavy and a bit yucky to be honest. You'll know when it's arrived...believe me!

Thanks everyone. Well Although I had a reasonable red bleed last night today it's more thick dark brown bleeding, Sorry that sounds kind gross. I can definitely say it isn't AF from that and your advice. I did go for a 1km run on the treadmill last night so that might have been the cause. Mel I have a checkup with my GP in a week or so to get the bloods done to check the HCG is down to zero.
