Hi Ladies

This week I sadly miscarried at 5 weeks. Those who have been unfortunate enough to experience this I’d be really grateful for advice.

I had a sudden right side sharp paid and heavy bleed 4 days ago for about 4 hours. Then stopped and Cervix closed on dr checking (suspected miscarriage/ectopic nothing on scan) nothing 3 days ago, spotting 2 days ago, yesterday just on wiping. Bloods came back HCG 36 so miscarriage confirmed. Dr said I’d probably get a period in 2-3 weeks and to call if I bled more now.

Last night cramps started mounting and this morning I’m full on like a bad period with cramps across my whole abdomen and normal period day 1 bleeding. It feels just like a normal period but more painful. Called midwife they said it’s normal (which sounds right to me even if the doctor said to call).

Question. Is this still classed as me going through the miscarriage or is it classed as my period restarting? If my HGC went from the hundreds on Tuesday to 36 Thursday does that indicate I’m not likely back to 0 and it’s now a period?! I’ve not idea what this means now in terms of tracking my cycle - I want to try again quickly if I can but I don’t want to try between Mid Feb and Mid March for reasons I won’t get into that are personal for me.

Thanks in advance x
