Hi girls, I'm after some avice.

Had a mmc in December, and went in for erpc on 27th December. Was told to expect af around 4 to 6 weeks later.
Just started today with small amount of bleeding, 35 days after erpc. (red when I wipe, but brown on panty liner, sorry tmi) There is not much though, so do I count this as cycle day 1?
Before mmc my cycle was between 33/34 days and I always had about 3/4 days of brown blood before real af started along with cramps and heavier bleeding.
It is different this time, so I'm totally confused as to whether this is day 1 or whether day 1 is when the bleeding gets heavier.
Is there anyone who has been through this or can offer me any advice. I'm so desperate to start ttc again and don't want to get dates mixed up. I'm sure you all understand.
Thank you xxx

Hi woomummy, thanks for replying

I guess I really didn't know what to expect when first af eventually arrived. For once I'm glad it's here, at least it means that my boby is starting to get back to normal. Although this af isn't the same as before my mc, i'm sure that things will soon get back to how they were before, but to be honest I'm quite happy not to have the several days of brown discharge before af arrives as it's such an inconvenience! I do hope that this af is fairly light and with no pain, I have heard that some people have a really painful/heavy af after mc.

So how are you after you mc? I take it you are ttc again. You must keep me updated on how things are going for you. It is good to chat with someone who has been through a similar experience and at nearly the same time.
hope you are well. xxx

Hi ladies

I found out I'd had an mmc on 31st December then had an labour inducted MC on 4th January so I'm in the same boat.. TTC again.

Anyway, I had treatment to help me fall and my fertility doc (as I call him) told me that Day 1 of your cycle is the first 'full day of bleeding. So if it's started when you get up in the morning - it's day 1. If it starts later in the day, the following day will be day1.

When I was in hospital the nurse advised me that my next period could be heavier or lighter than normal.

Hope this helps, fingers crossed for you both

I'm speaking to my doc on Saturday so if he gives me any information I think may help us all I'll let you know - he's fab!!
