MMC/Logging on Glow
This was my second pregnancy, my 1st one in June '18 ended in miscarriage about 6 weeks. We have been trying for over a year and have no children already. This time it was a missed miscarriage which was found at my 12 week scan (I was 12w5d) baby was measuring around 10.5 weeks, I opted for medical management and went into hospital for this on Feb 7th. I had passed everything by that evening and the bleeding slowed after a couple of days. Since then I have had what seems like a very light period type bleeding/spotting, pink/brownish. No more than a panty liner or two throughout the day but constant.
I have a few questions, if anyone has any answers...
1. Have other people experienced bleeding like this following a miscarriage? How long did it last?
2. If you log on Glow, how did you log the MC/bleeding after? I have just put it as one very long period but I know it's not.
3. Was anyone successful with using OPKs after their miscarriage but before their next period? I'm wondering if any of the leftover hormones will interfere and give false readings if I start using OPKs now (I realise it's diff hormones but heard that OPKs can show positive when pregnant)
I'm still feeling quite emotionally raw but really just want to start trying again. Preg tests are showing up as a really faint line now but the bleeding/spotting just seems never ending.
Thank you so much if anyone has any advice!
