With my first mc, I was still getting positives on HPTs like, 6 weeks after my D&amp;C. My body was really holding on to the HCG or something. And my first period after that, I had really bad cramps the day before it started. </p> <p>With my last 2 (naturals) I felt pretty normal almost right away. More so with the first of those, from what I remember. My last one was a bit harder, but I still felt ok. Had some pretty bad cramping though.</p> <p>Hope you're feeling "normal" again soon. Lots of love :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-symptoms-after-mc#post-1816808 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:18:35 +0000 travelgirl1 1816808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :sad: I remember I had a heightened sense of smell for a few weeks after I lost the baby, and was very emotional still. I think it all lasted about a fortnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-symptoms-after-mc#post-1816744 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:01:09 +0000 swedishfish 1816744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took 13 days for my hCG to drop below 5. My pregnancy symptoms went away within a week of my miscarriage. I'm sorry for your loss. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/physical-symptoms-after-mc#post-1816714 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 18:55:47 +0000 mrsquincy 1816714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few weeks ago I found out I was pregnant for the first time. Unfortunately last Tuesday I started bleeding heavily and an ultrasound revealed an empty uterus. My initial hcg level was 800 and a follow-up test showed it down to 80 as of Friday. The bleeding has stopped now, but I have still had a couple spells of nausea and have had constant dull headaches since this happened. I'm just hoping things return to normal soon, especially since my hcg levels have dropped significantly.</p> <p>Has anyone else experienced symptoms like these following a MC? How long did it take until you felt "normal" physically?</p> <p>P.S. Thank you to all who have shared their MC journey on this board, it was very helpful for me to not feel so alone in this. </p>
