I'm also usually a 5 day cycle, heavy/cramping at first and lighter towards the end, fin. the cycle after my surgery came 4 weeks post-op, and it was light the entire time. bleeding would start and stop and start and stop in like 12-hour increments, it was significant enough that I knew it was a "real" period, but it never got heavy, and this went on for what felt like forever-- about 9-10 days, I think. </p> <p>anyway, I have known a couple women who described what's happening with you, and in both cases it just resolved itself and they went on to have a more normal cycle after that. did you figure out if you have retained tissue or anything? hope you are doing okay :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2510284 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 09:41:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2510284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: It really just depends. After my second loss we got pregnant right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2510279 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 09:37:44 +0000 HLK208 2510279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oskarsmommy: thanks! So odd. My cycle seems to be short too? I think I had a 26 day cycle. I'm getting an ultrasound and blood work done on Thursday...ugh, this feels like it's never going to end!<br /> @T.H.O.U.: oh wow...that makes me feel better that it can take awhile. Everything I've read seems to say everything should be working the way it's suppose to, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2510269 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 09:30:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2510269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im sorry, after my first loss it was really weird for about 6 months. I've always been a regular 28 day cycle but I think I had one wacky 40 day cycle in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2510261 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 09:24:52 +0000 oskarsmommy 2510261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles have been weird as well. I had a D&amp;C on 2/5 for retained tissue. Then 20 days later had some light cramping, and a very light period for 4 days. Then 24 days later, another verry light period. My cycles are usually 28-32 days, never shorter. I finally went to my ob, and she did an ultrasound and everything looked great from what she could tell. On one hand I know the body is complex, and hormones are still a bit influx, and it's crazy to expect everything to go back to normal in one month.. But on the other hand there is still a bit of a nagging concern, is everything ok?<br /> I guess this is all to say you are not alone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2509609 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 13:09:28 +0000 HLK208 2509609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: thanks, I called the nurses line and she just told me to wait this cycle out. Maybe I should leave a message for my OB if it's that unusual! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2509501 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 12:20:08 +0000 catlady 2509501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss. I had a weird experience, but not sure if it is similar to yours. After my D&amp;C, I bled for 4-5 days, then it stopped completely. Two weeks after my D&amp;C (when I thought everything was over), I had super heavy bleeding (like a miscarriage all over again). Turns out I had retained tissue. That bleeding lasted something like 8 days. I finally got real AF about 3 weeks after that. Not sure if that is helpful. Maybe call your OB? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-first-cycle-post-dampc#post-2509468 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 12:00:02 +0000 HLK208 2509468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone else have a weird first cycle after miscarrying?</p> <p>I got my period a month after my D&amp;C. It lasted 9 days (it's usually 5 days) and then by cycle day 14, I bled for 3 days and had cramping. Bled again from cycle day 22-25 with cramping again.</p> <p>What the heck?! I have an OB appt in a month but just wondering if anyone else experience a weird cycle post D&amp;C/miscarriage? </p>
