By Tuesday Morning I Was Bleeding Heavily – Continuous Light Bleeding After Period

On Monday night, the killer cramps kicked up again.

The first step to making sure that this was a period and that my body understood I wasn’t still pregnant/miscarrying was to take a pregnancy test. Of course, a ‘early detection’ home pregnancy kit will find hormone levels as low as ’15 25′ hCG mIU/ml. The ‘postmiscarriage’ bloodwork had shown that I still had a small quantity of hCG, the pregnancy hormone, in my body. By Tuesday morning, I was bleeding heavily. By now, I should have zero.

Two weeks after the miscarriage, I ovulated. Except more pain and blood this time. Known knowing that doesn’t make it any easier that, for the last 48 hours, it’s felt like I’m miscarrying all over again. Peeing on that stick and hoping for a negative felt ironic. Notice that my body was as a matter virtually flushing out that extrathick lining the OB had pointed to on the ultrasound, leftover from when my uterus thought it was going to grow a baby. This is likely all very normal. I got two clear negatives. Real talk -my reproductive system runs like a welloiled, reliable automobile.

OB suggested waiting two cycles before considering getting pregnant again.

Like the worst cramps I’d ever had multiplied by a zillion. Last Saturday, two weeks to the day after the successful ovulating, I woke up with strong, painful cramps. Even when my mind is reeling, my body does what it needs to do. Of course, it’s apparent that my body is still readjusting from fetusgrowing seven weeks. I have an entirely different kind of respect for how much my body can and will handle. My first day period usually happens about two weeks after I ovulate.

And I only lightly spotted through Sunday and Monday, I figured I’d had a heavy, short period and was done, when I woke up on unday to a clean pad.a great deal of our health is just out of our hands, we can make choices that might influence those inner workings. Next month would be regular and the miscarriage was behind me. Alas, nothing is ever that simple. Especially when it comes to pregnancy, miscarriage and menstruation. Any illusion of having regained control over my body is gone. This is the case. Maybe the larger lesson here -and I’m not sure I’ll ever really learn this one because I’m nothing if not a control freak -is that we never have any true control over the fragile inner workings of our bodies.

I was upset with my body for quickly forgetting it had been pregnant, when the morning sickness and ‘boobsoreness’ faded.

My morning sickness disappeared the day after I miscarried and my breasts stopped aching a couple of days later. By the time I ovulated, I was ready to get back to regularly scheduled programming.

Sure, it kicked that fetus out of my womb. Fact, while staring at my ultrasound empty uterus the next day at the doctor’s office was sad and frustrating, it also meant that my body was that much closer to back to normal. You should take it into account. Look -my uterus was now back in action and right on time!

Heavy bleeding continued through the day, and there were a couple of darkly colored clots. OB/GYN for my first ultrasound. Your first period after a miscarriage could be different from your regular period in any number of ways. One month ago, I was almost seven weeks pregnant. Then I had a miscarriage. Shedding leftover pregnancy material or not. Usually, internet and found the same discomforting advice everywhere. Just think for a moment. My boobs were seriously sore. That’s interesting right? SSRI. That’s interesting. For any longerer. So, more painful, less painful. Anyway, it was like reading a cold side effects medicine and learning that the likely ones are all coldlike symptoms.
