I got some liquid Iron and it lasted about a week maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309394 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 21:03:24 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2309394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was tired for a while! I think once my levels got back down I felt better. I was still taking daily naps for a bit. </p> <p>Hang in there. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309312 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 19:16:21 +0000 Silva 2309312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @Autumnmama79: Thanks guys. I initially felt pretty numb about the whole thing- it was so early, and because its my second I was kind of distracted/never felt attached to it at all. But today I was definitely feeling more sad, and teared up a bit, which is probably contributing to my exhaustion. I like to be strong and in control and wanted to move on, and I think in my haste to process this I didn't leave room for the grief.</p> <p>@catlady: @LCTBQE: @Nutella: I worked yesterday and today, and although I have a physically easy job (I literally sit all day listening to people talk) its definitely emotionally challenging (I'm a therapist). My husband was home Tuesday and Wednesday with us to help so I was able to rest a lot on those days- I think maybe I pushed it a bit much yesterday and today. My husband has to work this weekend, so my daughter and I are going to my parents house where I will be able to take lots of breaks! I'm headed to bed soon- you guys have me feeling somewhat optimistic that I will turn a corner and maybe even stop bleeding soon. I'm taking some supplements and trying to eat extra red meat/dark greens. I did end up calling the nurse today and she put in an order to check my hemoglobin on Monday when they check my HCG. I don't think I'm anemic right now, but its nice that they are proactive.</p> <p>@Smurfette: Thanks buddy. I'm really okay, and in the scheme of things/how this could have gone its been about as good as it gets I think. So in that sense I feel kind of lucky. And for whatever reason I feel really optimistic that we will conceive again quickly. One of the things I'm most sad about is an increasing age gap, but lots of friends have reminded me that there is no perfect formula and life happens- so I'm trying to let go of my plans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309303 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 19:03:41 +0000 Nutella 2309303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I felt like total &amp; utter crap for a few weeks, physically was fine but emotionally was all over the place. And the exhaustion was full on. I slept a lot &amp; had a few couch &amp; TV dates whenever my LO was asleep. My OB had recommended I increase my iron with supplements...and that started to kick in a few weeks later (taking it everyday). So after aBout 3-4 weeks I was bit more normal. Also exercise as cheesy as it sounds, really did help get my energy back, I tried to see friends who are good energising types too. Hope you get to treat yourself with something nice soon! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309256 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 18:06:45 +0000 Smurfette 2309256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309236 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 17:09:03 +0000 LCTBQE 2309236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you're going through this. I had a D&amp;C just before Labor Day weekend and bled/spotted for four days afterwards. I was tired those few days, and like everyone else has said, I think the grief is exhausting as much as any physical reason. I started to feel more energetic on the 4th or 5th day--hope that you will turn a corner very soon. </p> <p>Also, I was very, very moody for a good two weeks afterwards. I just got my period 3.5 weeks after the D&amp;C, and I can't tell you how good it feels--it's like my body pressed the reset button, and I feel so much less emotional. Fingers crossed for an easy and fast recovery for you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309153 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 15:52:09 +0000 catlady 2309153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss. I remember that I took misoprostol on a Friday, I was definitely still bleeding on Sunday, and I don't think I felt physically good until a few days after that. It can definitely be a drawn out process. I'd try to rest over the weekend and call your doctor next week if you still feel bad. Hugs. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309104 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 15:22:56 +0000 Autumnmama79 2309104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs to you. After my second loss I went to talk to someone who specializes in miscarriage and she said that grief is exhausting, for the body and the mind. I know that I felt that way for several weeks following and it probably even bordered on depression. Its now been 6 months and I still struggle with the loss on a daily basis. </p> <p>Wishing you well :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309051 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:34:45 +0000 simplyfelicity 2309051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. :heart: I was exhausted after my second loss because I was depressed and the emotional toll can be so taxing. I hope you start feeling like yourself soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-a-miscarriage#post-2309050 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:28:22 +0000 Silva 2309050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took misoprostal on Tuesday. The bulk of the miscarriage occurred that day, but I'm still bleeding now (at a light-moderate rate, with some cramping). My hcg numbers were down to 245 on Wednesday (they had only gotten as high as about 1000 although I was supposed to be 7 weeks along).</p> <p>I know this is all normal, and it will take time, but I am so exhausted. And so moody! But mostly exhausted.</p> <p>I've been eating extra meat/dark greens, and taking all my vitamins to stay on top of any possible depletion. </p> <p>I'm just wondering how long this physical exhaustion will continue? Not until after I stop bleeding? When should I call my doctor about it? </p>
