Having a bad day!
Hi everyone,
Just having one of those bad days that I seem to get every now and again!
I suffered a mmc in Dec 07 and had erpc on 27th Dec. Have had one af since and am currently awaiting my next. I thought it would be here by now but did a test this morning and it came back bfn! I am so completely gutted and I really didn't think I would be like this. Thought I was getting stronger, its awful that one little set back can knock me back down so easily.
My first af following the mmc was very different to usual. To be expected I suppose. It started on day 34 (Which is normal for me) with light bleeding, that lasted for 5 days. That eventually slowed and then the following day came back extremely heavy and lasted a further 5 days. 10 whole days of bleeding was not normal for me. Because of this I don't know which day was cd 1???? Was it the first or second lot of bleeding. If it was the first lot then I'm now on day 40 with still no sign of af! If it was the second lot my last cycle would have been 39 days and now I would only be on day 35, so too early to test although still probably not pregnant as would have completely missed ov!
I was so pleased when First af arrived as it meant that things were starting to get back to normal, especially as it was near enough to the day that my cycles were before. I am now so worried that my body is not back to normal at all and that it may never get that way. More than anything I wish that if I can't get bfp this month then I do get my af so I can stop worrying about this so much.
I so want to see that positive result before the due date arrives for the baby that we lost, this sounds desperate I know and I suppose that if it doesn't happen by then we will just keep on trying.
Today is a bad day - Just wondering if anyone out there has any advice at all on periods after mc. Has anyone had their first af being relatively normal and then seemingly disapear? Did your cycles get longer following a mc? Any advice would be great.
Thanks xxx

I am in a similar position to you although my af is not late. I had a mmc at end of dec. I had one af 39 days later which was fairly normal for me and now like you i am waiting for 2nd af. I was hoping my cycles might start to get shorter but thats obviously not the case as i'm on day 28 now and i think i ov yesterday, so i'm really hoping my af (or hopefully something else will) will happen soon!!
Try to stay positive as they say its not over till af is here. I know what you mean about the bad days, i still get them too, my sister has just had a baby and i've got lots of close friends that are preg so am finding it quite difficult. Just keep thinking you know you can get pg so it will happen again soon. Take care xx

sorry to hear of your loss. I too have hab a mmc. I found out on 30th Jan and had the baby naturally on 1st feb. I too have times when I'm feeling strong and then all of a sudden everything seems really hard. In work last week we were told about a new computer system we were having installed and I burst out crying. I just can't get back to my normal routine as I feel so empty without my baby.
I still have'nt had an af yet and in the last 10 days I have had 4 bfns!! I am so desperate to be pg again cos I just feel so empty with no baby inside me. Nothing can ever replace the baby I lost but being pg would at least help.
The waiting for an af or bfp is so hard and I like you just want to know either way!
I hope you find out soon.
If you wanna talk more e-mail me or I'm on msn.
Take Care

I'm also having a bad day with a BFN to top it off.
I can't really fully anser your Q about regular/irregular AFs post MC because mine have been irregular since coming off the pill in July 06. But I just wanted to say that I hope you're feeling at least a little bit better.
Love Em xxxxxxx
It is absolutely normal to feel down after all you lost your baby and all the plans and dreams that went with it. The only healer is time xxxxxxx
