Miscarriage in March—Need Advice

Leah • Leah Jo

Hello, I found out that I was pregnant with my 2nd child in February, only after a month of trying (I tried for a year with my daughter). I was told that my baby had stopped growing at around 6weeks along, when I should have been 9 weeks pregnant. It made sense because I was barely having any symptoms and I was soooo sick with my daughter the whole time. My body naturally had a miscarriage just a week later. I bled for 3 weeks before it stopped. They put me on a pill to regulate my body after this because my hormones were all messed up. Since then, I have had 3-4 periods, but now my periods are only 3 days and are not that hard. I used to have 7-8 day heavy periods. Also, when I got pregnant, I started having issues with acne (I never have this usually) and have never stopped. We are trying to get pregnant again and I am tracking my periods to better help the process, but I feel like my body is so messed up that I don’t know if it will ever happen. After my miscarriage, I got depressed, I have gained quite a bit of weight, and I am afraid that this might contribute to my body’s condition and fertility as well. It just happened so easy this last time and my boyfriend was so excited to have his first child. I am so scared that it is never going to happen again. Thoughts? Is any of this normal to still experience 3-4 months after a miscarriage?
