What was your first cycle like after MC? (Tmi)

Question

I'm 6 weeks post MC... This week I've had really weird cramping this week and yesterday had some very very pale brown spotting. Then nothing since. Thinking maybe af is on the way??

I had a faint positive pg test Saturday... Got excited and it's been negative since so must have been left over... I just have no idea what's going on!

Answer

I have read so many different posts about post MC AF experiences. My own was I bled consistently for 28 days straight. I had a total of 4 light days, but the rest was a heavy flow. I decided to go through it naturally and opted out of the D&C because the recovery time was projected to be shorter, which it was. After the 28th day, my cycle went back to normal (except being late by a week and a half on my third cycle but I think that was due to stress at work). The blood tended to be pretty consistent in color though... that isn't to say there wasn't old blood discharge (brown blood) from what my doctor said was wounds healing in the lining of my uterus.

Answer

Mine was 4 weeks after. But everyone is different and their bodies recover at their own rate. I'm sorry for your loss. Try not to stress too much (however hard that may sound!) xx
