I'm sorry for your loss

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.

I'm so sorry for your loss

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.

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.

I hope you get your sticky baby soon!

@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!) !

@Kbee: I'm so glad that I could help! Looking forward to seeing your BFP very soon!
