I would listen to your body. Don't go out and run 5 miles straight out of the gate. As long as you aren't in pain and you don't start bleeding then you should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1536715 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:21:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1536715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kbee: I'm so glad that I could help! :) Looking forward to seeing your BFP very soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1536080 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:59:11 +0000 Kbee 1536080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovelyplum: Thank you! You have been so helpful! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1533337 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 23:31:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 1533337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kbee: good, I'm glad to hear that you're at least being seen! And yes, they should take you on. When you call, I would just explain that you are a new patient and that you recently had a miscarriage that you need follow up care for. Hopefully, they can get you in for a baseline appointment, even if you're being seen at the hospital. That way, you can have someone to call when you get your next (hopefully sticky!) :bfp: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1533332 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 23:24:31 +0000 Kbee 1533332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: True, maybe there's a possibility of more bleeding if my hcg is still elevated.</p> <p>@lovelyplum: Thanks :happy: I don't have an OB yet, but the doc in the ER is having me follow-up in the obstetrics clinic in the hospital. I'll go back every Friday to get my blood drawn until HCG is at 0. But starting tomorrow, I am on the search for an actual OB (hopefully they will take me on as a patient even if I am not pregnant?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1533292 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:30:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 1533292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss :(</p> <p>I would say in this case that the best thing to do is listen to your body. I've had 2 early losses, and my body responded differently after each one. After the first, I was able to do normal things relatively soon after I stopped bleeding. The second, though, took a lot longer to bounce back from physically, and I wasn't able to do any real exercise for a few weeks.</p> <p>You mentioned that you don't have an OB yet-are you planning on finding one soon? My OB wanted to follow up with me to make sure that my HCG returned to 0 and that I didn't have any other complications after the loss. It might be worthwhile to either find a new doctor or visit your PCP to make sure everything is OK.</p> <p>I hope you get your sticky baby soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1533254 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:37:13 +0000 winniebee 1533254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kbee: it seems like you would be in the clear but maybe there is a risk for bleeding until your hcg is back to 0? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1533237 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:25:51 +0000 Kbee 1533237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @winniebee and @singingbee! I guess it does sound like an obvious answer (ie. bleeding), but because I haven't had any bleeding in 12 days, I suppose I was just a little confused that the doctor recommended that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1533009 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:34:18 +0000 singingbee 1533009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss. The activity can aggravate the bleeding, plus things are kind of shifting around so that's why you want to avoid the activity for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1532663 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 15:32:40 +0000 winniebee 1532663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss :(</p> <p>I was given the same instructions when I had mine. It is because strenuous activity can increase your bleeding. I was advised to take it easy for a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/avoiding-strenuous-activity-after-early-mc#post-1532620 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 15:09:00 +0000 Kbee 1532620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have already been diagnosed as having a miscarriage, and the doctor I saw in the ER (on 3/26 - went for extreme pain but no bleeding) believes it occurred 3/16 when I thought I was just having my period. My discharge papers said to avoid strenuous activity. If I've already miscarried (and hcg went from 208 to 128 a few days ago), then why would I need to avoid strenuous activity? And when can I start again? I'm very active, and am itching to get back into my physical activity routine after this week!! Any thoughts?</p> <p>I hadn't found an OB yet, so I don't really have a provider to ask this question! </p>
