Pregnancy Info HOME

Hopefully, it is just that. It's kind of like, "good luck."

Well, Lovely21 I started my period. So I am thinking all those symptoms we had were just our bodies returning to normal. Let me know how you turn out.

I believe everyone is different in how long it takes their body to resume back to a regular cycle. Just give yourself time, and use these months to get back to being healthy, eat healthy, take your supplements, do some exercise, and think positive thoughts. I had my first miscarriage last week at 8 weeks. The ultrasound the week before showed the embryo had developed, but there was no heat beat. Currently at my work (I am a neonatal intensive care nurse) there are 7 colleagues at differing stages of pregnancy. I have been questioning why me, I am a healthy person, and became even more healthy 3 months before my husband an I started trying for a baby. We hit jackpot on the 3rd month, and were so excited. So when we went for the scan (my husband with me for support) we were completely shocked at no heart beat. My husband kept the hope up, but inside I knew it was not good. then when the first few bleeds started, I knew I had lost the precious little thing. I had a sad day yesterday, but today I feel more positive, to get back to feeling healthy, and then start all over again. I still feel bloated, my tummy is still sticking out slightly, but my b___sts are no longer sensitive and have decreased in size, and I no longer feel tired, nausea or headaches. Next week I will have my blood tests with the doctor, and go from there. So just give yourself time, don't get worried, stay positive and use these months to look after yourself.

I've tried to wait it out, and I started to get impatient again. I still have not gotten my period, but I think I ovulated. I had clear, egg white cervical mucus for five days from aug. 9-aug. 13. It was stretchy and kind of thick in it's consistency. Is this ovulation discharge? Can leukorrhea look like EWCM? Before that, I had some light spotting. It started off pink and was brown/old blood afterwards. It wasn't heavy, but just enough to stain my underwear. This continued for 3 days (July 30 - Aug. 1). I haven't had s_x since I got pregnant and most certainly not after I miscarried. It's been almost six weeks since the end of my miscarriage. I feel my ovaries aching/hurting on both sides, but no spotting since the beginning of the month. My cycle is irregular to begin with, but I would think that after a natural M/C, my period would be here by now... X_Tina: Hopefully mine comes too! MelanieG: I am so sorry for your loss. Best of luck to you. I will try to follow the advice that you gave and let time take it's course. It would still be nice to have answers or some peace of mind. It sucks being in the dark about my body. Thanks again, for your words of encouragement.

Okay, well my period lasted for like 3 days as well. And it was not that heavy. I heard that after a miscarriage that your first period is supposed to be heavier than normal. But mine wasnt.

X_Tina, I started having cramp-like pains last night as I was sleeping and got my period. It's not starting off heavy, but it was a clump of red blood, so I'll take it. I've been taking my temperature, too, and I'm not sure how all that works, but I noticed a dip in my temp. yesterday. Thank goodness my body is going back to normal.

Lovely21, and anybody else have you had this happen after a miscarriage. I had my miscarriage July 15th, and got my period August 12th, and then stopped bleeding then spotted for like 2 days not that heavy not enough blood for a pantyliner at all. Then today, August 25th, I started my period again. I went to the dr. yesterday for a different health reason, and she did a pelvic exam and blood tests and I am getting an ultrasound tomorrow just to make sure my uterus is ok. Which my family dr., should have done after my miscarriage. I did have s_x after my period and while pregnant. And if the ovulation calculators are correct I was fertile from August 23rd to August 28th and my ovulation date is the 26th. Is it normal to start bleeding again, after I had my miscarriage and had a period?

X_Tina, I hope all is going well. I see it's been a couple of weeks since your last post. My period began on the 24 of August and ended around September 1. I have not ovulated again, but have been getting clear, egg white discharge.

Okay, well I got my second period on September 8th and it ended on September 14th. Hopefully, everything seems to go ok with my body going back to normal.
