The next one was 5 or 6 weeks after that. I was pregnant the next month. After my MC, my periods were the same as before. After having LO, my cramps are basically non-existent (YAY! I also had terrible cramps) but the flow is a bit heavier the first day or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-922955 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:02:25 +0000 buffalove 922955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it took a long time to get my period after the first m/c (i've had two). once i got it back, the cycle itself was pretty normal but my actual period was REALLY short - like less than a day. it's never really gone back to normal (5 days) even after a successful pregnancy and being on BCP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-914128 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:45:04 +0000 Jellyfish 914128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for your loss :sad: my first few (2 or 3?) AF after a loss at 10 weeks was later than usual but cycles went back to normal over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-914064 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:15:13 +0000 blackbird 914064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped ovulating and my cycles were 40+ days long. Not what you want to hear, but clomid put me back on track </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913920 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:05:28 +0000 fussygal 913920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine at 6 weeks and my first two cycles after were short (22 days instead of my normal 30-32), but my last cycle was regular length and this current one looks like it will be, too. Other than that, no changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913889 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:44:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 913889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had slight changes but I think over time I will go back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913868 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:27:37 +0000 sslm 913868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss :(</p> <p>It took 10 weeks for me to get a period after my mc at 8.5 weeks. The next cycle was way shorter than usual, and the next one after that would've been more normal but I got pregnant again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913832 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:03:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 913832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite- my cycles shortened after each of my miscarriages. After the first, I ovulated about 5 days early, and a few days early after the second. Both mcs were natural, one at 4w and one at 6w.</p> <p>Also, I noticed other changes, too. My hair fell out in clumps when I was pregnant, and that never really stopped . My skin is still really dry, too. And my nipples are bigger than they ever were before. Not as big as when I was pregnant, but they never really went back. Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913561 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:11:50 +0000 singingbee 913561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles increased about a week longer than normal. Then, I would stop and have a week without a period and then have some breakthrough bleeding about a week later. It did this for about 2-3 cycles and then became normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913544 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:06:55 +0000 IcebergMom 913544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry about your mc. I miscarried at 11 and then my bleeding lasted 23 days. Ugh. After that my next one or two periods were definitely heavier but then back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913534 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:04:23 +0000 lilteacherbee 913534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miscarried at 9 weeks. The first cycle afterwards was the shortest (35ish days). Then I went back to normal (for me) with 40-50 day cycles, ugh! But I had extremely long cycles before the m/c too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913526 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:59:18 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 913526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry :(</p> <p>And for me, the first mc, the first cycle or 2 were a bit weird after. Then things seemed to normalize. The last one, my cycle after was really short. Now things seem more normal again I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913521 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:56:20 +0000 Alivoo01 913521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycle length changed the following two months, but was back on track there after. My loss was at 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913520 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:54:32 +0000 2PeasinaPod 913520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say sorry for your loss. And if you ever need to chat about it, let me know!</p> <p>I always had super long cycles before I got pregnant. When I lost my first at 8 weeks (missed miscarriage with a D&amp;C), my cycles were a clockwork 30 days right after that. Cramping did subside a little, but since I had LO after my second miscarriage, the cramping returned with a vengeance! Cycles after LO are still wonky as well. </p> <p>The miscarriage definitely regulated me though. If anything came out of a bad situation, at least it was that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913518 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:54:28 +0000 MrsCastro 913518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my cycles went from every four weeks to every 6 weeks...it took a few months for my cycle to get back to "my normal" of 28-31 days....I had a m/c at 6.5 weeks last Aug 2012 and got my BFP this past April (currently 16w). i started doing accupunture the cycle i got my BFP...i total belive it helped... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913511 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:52:11 +0000 Ash 913511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miscarried at 7 weeks. My LP seemed to shorten and my cycle lengthened. I don't even know if I was ovulating... after a few months of unsuccessful trying, I went to the chiropractor and started b complex - next month I got my sticky baby bfp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changes-after-mc#post-913504 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 15:49:21 +0000 Torchwood 913504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a miscarriage at 9.5 weeks, and I'm curious whether other bees who have had first trimester miscarriages noticed changes to their cycles. I know having a baby can cause major changes to your body (my sister-in-law had celiac (gluten allergy) so badly that even one bite of bread could land her in the hospital, but after having my niece she can eat all the gluten she wants), but I've never heard whether a *very* short pregnancy causes changes. </p> <p>So for those who've been through this, did you notice that things stayed mostly the same, or did you see changes in cycle length, symptoms, cramps, etc? (I'm really crossing my fingers for less cramping, since mine are usually severely debilitating. So far I'm 26 days post MC and have none of my usual PMS cramps, so either AF is not going to be back for at least a couple more weeks, or maybe things will be better.) </p>
