is it possible to experience a milder form of ppd after a mc?

Question

Just had mc at 8-9 weeks. I've had three other mc in past year but this was furthest along and most painful/ bleeding of all. Have major depression now a week later and wondering if this could be because of the hormone crash? I'm upset about losing it but if it never happens have made my peace so not upset about mc though lots of other unrelated bad things happening so timing sucked. Hcg was down to 47 yesterday. So is the hormone thing possible medically or is it just me not coping well?

Answer

Postpartum depression absolutely happens after miscarriage. I had it really bad after both of mine.

Answer

Following. My MC was 7 weeks ago and my period just returned. I finally got a negative test the day before my period started. I've been extremely depressed and emotional... I myself wondered if it was some form of ppd. I never had ppd after my daughter was born so I wouldn't even know what it's like.

Answer

I had the same thoughts. A few weeks after my D&C I just felt a wave a sadness and I couldnt shake it off. I was depressed and my anxiety was sooooo bad I kept getting mild panic attacks (I started exercising to help with them). I wasnt sure if it was the hormones still from my miscarriage or if it was PMS or if I was just having a hard time coping. Turns out it might have PMS and coping. I got my first AF after. I have since felt less depressed but I was confused. I still have my moments of crying and sucking up the tears but my anxiety and gone down. It is tough to sort out your feelings or to even know what is really causing them. Good luck to you.

Answer

And more importantly, if ppd, how do you treat if you're still ttc and can't take medication?
