First AF after mc
Afternoon ladies!
Hope this finds you well on this wet and miserable saturday.
As most of you already know I had a natural mc over xmas and because my body took a while to get back to normal (hormones to drop etc...) I seem to have bled (sorry for tmi) on and off for 6/7 weeks (nice).
Now my first AF since the mc has arrived (slightly pleased to see her - body getting back into a cycle) but have found that it is pretty heavy and have a massive headache to go with it, skin is awful (think spotty teenager) - just wondered if you experienced the same??

Sorry to hear of your loss- at christmas too
I experienced the worst spots ever after mine- I've never had this before, although it could be conected to the Clomid I used last month. I found "witch" concealer really good - just a medicated concealer, but it really brought them down. My first af wasn't a big deal in terms of blood loss though- suppose everyones different.
Hope you're coping ok with everything and I hope you get some lovely news soon

Thank you for your kind reply
Will definitely check out that concealer, thank you for posting.
Coping ok thanks hun, just have the odd down day still, hard as I have two pregnant friends at mo, but hey I am positive our turn will come again soon
xxxx
I'm also finding it really hard too- especially working with a person who was "devastated" to find she was having a second boy- grrr!!
I agree - our turn is definately coming up!!

Also, on the spot side my skin has been terribke since the last mc and continued after I got the BFP, so I'm just ensuring that I'm cleansing my skin at night as well as it the morning.
Hope you're able to start feeling better soon

Rainbow - Thanks hun, nice to hear I am 'normal', I am pretty good with my skincare routine, so am putting it down to hormones. How are you doing huni??? (((Hugs)))))
Thank you both for replying, means alot to ask questions and know people will have the answers.

Sorry I cant help you out though, hope everything is ok.
Sorry to hear what you have been through
I think I had about a week and a half of no real bleeding before AF came. I had my last bloods on 18th Feb and my levels were 7 so about a week later AF came and I guess they had dropped to 0.
I also asked EPU if I could have a period with levels of between 20 - 50 cos I had a break from the bleeding and then it started again and I wasn't sure if that was AF but they couldn't really give me an answer except that some woman have periods all the way through pg which wasn't very helpful!
I am sorry that everything feels so uncertain for you, I know that feeling only too well. Seeing AF was definitely a relief as the mc seems to have gone on for 2 months all in all.
Not sure I have really helped but hope you are ok xx
Thank you for replying, am starting to think that the 'heavyness' is pretty normal so will just have to ride it out. Hopefully after this month I won't see darling AF for a long time
I know what you mean about hormonal, just been to Toys R Us to buy my nephew's pressies and hubs fell in love with a beautiful dumbo cuddly toy and wanted to buy it for our future babes - nearly had us both in tears!!
Love MrsH xx
Glad af is here but not that it's a bad one! My first period was very bad, woke up in night from such bad cramps but thankfully not been like that since x x
Thank you for all your responses.
Emer - I am sorry to hear that you too were having a dreadful xmas, I am sure it is normal for your cycles to take a while to settle down, I am almost expecting this even though I was very regular before my mc.
Thankyou ccbmommy for the reassurance that all is ok.
Hi MP - good to see you flower My certainly hasn't been as bad as yours was, no bad cramps etc... seems to be heavier at night and skin still spotty but hey after the mc I can get through anything!
Hugs to you all xxxx
Hope your getting on ok, glad to hear AF has arrived & cycles will hopefully get back to normal, I always find AF is much heavier & painful after a mc so hope she eases up soon for you. xxx
Think I am through the worst, Hubs had been really sweet as I continue to moan about my spotty face!!
Just hope cycles settle down now and go back to being as regular as they were before mc, think I might invest in some ov sticks this month so I don't miss the window!
Hope you're ok hun xxxx
Hope everyone is feeling ok today xxx
Good luck
Jacqui
