First period after miscarriage, how long did yours last?

Question

Mine was very painful and heavy on the first day, lots of bleeding. Cramps almost stopped on the second day, still heavy-ish bleeding. Third day, blood on when wiped. Fourth day, only drops occassionally throughout the day.

wondered if this is normal and what others experienced.

my miscarriage was early at 6 weeks and his happened about a month ago.

many thanks!

Answer 1

Sorry to hear you had a MC, i had mine at around the same time (6 weeks) your bleeding sounds normal for first period after the MC - but then again everyone is different - some women have period lasting 2 or 3 days others have it lasting 5-7 days. My first period after my MC lasted for 4-5 days, I then waited for another period before trying to conceive again, but thats up to you yourself and how you are feeling emotionally and mentally - all the best if you do decide to go for it again!  I conceived straight away after 2nd period and carried successfully. Most women do go on to have a successful pregnancy after a MC.

Answer 2

OMG I had a miscarriage at exactly the same time as you, 6 weeks.  My first period after it was very early.  It came like 2 weeks after the miscarriage.  It lasted for about a week which is very unusual for me as they normally last 4/5 days.  The doctor did warn me this may happen though as it takes a while for your body to get back to normal after experiencing a miscarriage.

Answer 3

Mine was well weird.  Stopped half way then started again.  10 days in all.  Everyone is different.  It'll take a few months for body to sort itself out, so don't stress about it.
