1st period after loss-20 day rule?

Question

Update: I'm 99% sure my period came on Saturday. Same symptoms I normally get and its right when I would normally get it. I guess every body is different. Will have my hcg checked again in two weeks but I'm so excited to start trying again!

So I stopped spotting from my miscarriage about 12 days ago and now today I am experiencing spotting again. My last hcg test was on Monday and it was down to 33. Everything I read says you must have 20 days of no bleeding for it to be a period.  Is this 100% true? I normally spot 2-3 days before my period and this Saturday or Sunday would put me right on my regular 28-29 day cycle. With my hcg so low I doubt there's any retained tissue, I haven't seen any clots. Just wondering what you ladies think.

Answer

I began miscarrying on 12/28, and had a D&C on 1/4.  On 1/20 I began bleeding again and the doc and I are treating it as my first period post MC.  Everyone is different.

Answer

When I had my miscarriage my dr said bleeding will taper off and around 12 days later u may bleed again which will b uterus lining. So u may be shedding the uterus lining now.

Answer

I'm surprised your HCG levels still haven't dropped to 0 being 12 days post miscarriage. My first day I started bleeding I was at 87 two days out 34 and 5 days later I was at 4. My doc had told me if my levels didn't drop that maybe there was a chance of final pregnancy. Have they done ultrasound to confirm that you have fully miscarried?
