I have a lot of weird spotting some cycles though so who knows. catlady on "What was the first AF post-D&C like?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-first-af-post-dampc-like#post-2733644 Tue, 09 May 2017 10:10:03 +0000 catlady 2733644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm sorry for your loss. I think mine was pretty normal, maybe a little lighter than usual. Hard to remember exactly because I had retained tissue after my D&C which passed a couple weeks afterwards, and then regular AF didn't come until a month after that, so all I really remember was that it felt very drawn out.

I don't think I ovulated that first month though since I was still bleeding when I should have ovulated based on the 34 day cycle. I wasn't tracking anything though or trying to figure out when I may ovulate. My period was pretty much normal, but 3 days after it ended I started spotting brown which lasted for 3 more days. Thankfully the spotting days after hasn't happened again in more recent cycles, but I now spot more before my period starts, which didn't happen much before my loss. ocean81 on "What was the first AF post-D&C like?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-first-af-post-dampc-like#post-2733635 Tue, 09 May 2017 09:42:17 +0000 ocean81 2733635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine came back one day short of 5 weeks post D&E. First cycle was so short and light. It was one day of spotting, one day of bleeding and then it was pretty much gone. The second cycle was pretty much the same, but maybe 2 days of bleeding. I got pregnant after that, so I'm not sure if that would have been my new normal. I'm so sorry for your loss. periwinklebee on "What was the first AF post-D&C like?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-first-af-post-dampc-like#post-2733630 Tue, 09 May 2017 09:28:27 +0000 periwinklebee 2733630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Maybe a little bit heavier/crampier than normal, but besides that pretty standard. I didn't ovulate that cycle. The next cycle I ovulated right on schedule. :heart: thinking of you Banana330 on "What was the first AF post-D&C like?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-first-af-post-dampc-like#post-2733611 Tue, 09 May 2017 08:48:13 +0000 Banana330 2733611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bhbee: fairly normal.

Was it lighter? Heavier? Normal? I had ewcm/opk+ but never confirmed ovulation, then about 9dpo I started some red bleeding (just a bit more than spotting) that tapered on 11dpo and has been nothing for a couple days since. Bfn so it's probably just a wacky cycle but I'm wondering if that was it or more to come. I know I have nothing to do but wait and see but curious what it was like for others!
