Waiting impatiently to get my first af after m/c

[Gracie0717]

Hi all,

I am not exactly posting a questions. Just feel like rambling. I had d&c on 21 May and I am still waiting for my period now. I am beginning to get very impatient. I have been getting a lot of stomach cramps these few days, slightly sore breast and lower back pain. I just hope these are all PMS and I will get my af SOON. I can't wait to ttc again. It is just so frustrating.

Frustrated,
Grace

Congratulations!! Things will be great this time around. I will be crossing my fingers for you. Keep me posted ya.

As for myself, I tested yesterday and it was negative. I think my hormones are still crazy, that's why af is so late. Hopefully I will get it soon.

Grace - Just learned my hcg level went from 157 to 1781 over five days. This is looking much better than last time, although I know I am not out of the woods.

Grace -

I should get the results of my blood test this afternoon. I am hoping the results are good. I am definitely have more symptoms this time around. I haven't slept well the last three nights due to night sickness.  

Hang in there, your body will get back to normal!

Your D&C is not considered your last menstrual period so you can't use it as a basis to determine your next period. Right now you are considered irregular until your body regulates (which can take up to 6 months).

The brown discharge could mean ovulation, implantation spotting or impending AF.

After my miscarriages I swore up and down I was pregnant because I had so many symptoms. It took 8 weeks to get a period after each of my miscarriages (I've had two). And after each period after each miscarriage I got pregnant again and went on to have healthy, full term babies.

There is no need to go back to the doctor- you should expect your period 6-8 weeks post D&C. If you do not get it after 12 weeks then I'd go see the doctor.

And finally I just want to say I understand your apprehension! After you have a miscarriage you want to get pregnant again BUT there is also that fear factor that it will happen again. I'm a mess during my pregnancies until I start to feel movement. I finally told myself my last pregnancy that I can either choose to enjoy the time I've given with my pregnancy or waste my time stressing and worrying over something I can't control.

Good luck to you!

My period was suppose to be due on 21 June. Still no af today. I took the test last Friday and it came back negative. When I wiped yesterday, there was a little brown discharge. Only a very very little brown discharge. Was wondering is that a symptom of my af coming? Today was also feeling a lil dizzy and nauseous. Anyway, by the end of this week, if still no af, Im going back to the doc and see what happens then.

Well..still no af today and have gotten a negative result from the test. I will for a lil while longer and then maybe test again or go back to the doc.

Did you get your blood work results back? How is it?

If I were you, I think I would take a HPT! It sounds like a possibility.
