Your Body After Miscarriage

I've recently had a missed miscarriage (with the help of Misoprostal) I believe everything has passed. Was a sad and scary process but Ive noticed theres not much information out there for women AFTER the miscarriage.
​Its been a week since this occurred, 
​I have what seems to be alot of pressure in my uterus, heightened when i use the washroom, etc.  
​This page is for women to discuss (at their own discretion) their experience AFTER a miscarriage. 
Did you experience pain/ discomfort? For how long afterwards?

I had a d and e after a mmc last April at 15 weeks. I was in a lot of pain for a good week, developed a terrible case of (sorry tmi) hemorrhoids afterwards. My abdomen was quite sore for a few weeks as things shrank down. periods after were much lighter so i took dong quai to thicken up the lining.I'd like to say I've dropped my baby weight, but I'm still up 6 pounds. The post partum was the hardest part for me.​we started ttc again 3 mos after, still waiting for a bfp. All the best to u, I'm very sorry for ur loss.

First, sorry for your loss. I mc in Oct at six weeks. It was a natural mc, no meds or d/c required. I cramped and began my period exactly one month after I mc. My hcg was at a 5 by the end of Oct. Technically, not pregnant. My body before mc was regular and even after my son was born, I bounced right back, now each period after mc has been irregular, short, and contains stringy like clots. I have been assured this is normal. My period this month is the best it has been. Who says that?!? :) ​​Time does heal, but as I look to the calendar my impending due date approaches (May 29) and I am reminded of the pain and sorrow. ​​We did continue to try until last month. My body isn't ready and I want the mental break as well. We hope to resume in July. ​​Hope this helps someone. There really isn't much info out there. Each mc is different.

Just try and stay stress free, perhaps a break is a good plan. It will happen I am sure. Hope for the best :)

Thanks ladies for ur comments and sharing your experiences..​I had a mc at 9w6d​Horrible pain and contraction type cramping...​It has only been 5 days and still cramping and bleeding...​​Like others have said I am amazed at the lack of information about after and during miscarriage... It's like it is a taboo subject...​​My husband and I discussed the other day that we would wait a month before we seriously ttc again and if it happens this month so be it... But told him we can't bd until bleeding stops..​​Will keep you posted but looking forward to the support we can give each other.. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss.. I miscarried at 6 weeks  in February and they gave me methotrexate.. I did have lots and lots of bleeding and pressure.. I just had my first period after the mc and it was heavy heavy too! It was a sad experience and April will be my first month TTC again and I'm very nervousness and scared.

I miscarried one month ago -- bled for a week and a half. Took a while to feel like my normal self again. I started what I'm assuming is my period last week, but at this point am so mentally drained that I have no clue. It started around when I would have had a period before I miscarried. I think it might take some time before my periods feel normal again.

My first cycle has been different than usual -- a little longer, a few more small clots, and a little extra cramping

I have had 3 early miscarriages and they were all really different. My second miscarraige threw my cycles out of whack for 4 months. My last one - a couple of weeks ago was the easiest. I'm hoping because of this my cycles will return to normal quicker.&nbsp;

So sorry for your losses! Lets hope and pray for some healthy pregnancies! :)

I'm so sorry for your loss. &nbsp;I miscarried at 8 weeks last year. &nbsp;After I thought I had passed all of the tissue I still continued to feel crampy (though not as bad) and it took my body a few weeks to recover. &nbsp;It's a very emotional and physical process. &nbsp;If you're concerned you can take a HPT to make sure it's negative or give your Dr. a call. &nbsp;Mine was extremely supportive. &nbsp;Hugs! &nbsp;
