My periods after my mc were way more emotional- but I feel a lot was manufactured by me with my own grief. I was sad I wasn't pregnant, I was sad I wasn't getting pregnant, etc.
my periods after dd1 were really amplified, lots of emotions, lots of symptoms. I don't like taking oral contraceptives, even though that was offered as an option of relief. I started taking evening primrose oil capsules in the few days leading up to and through my period and that really helped lesson my symptoms.
If I were you, I'd add in a probiotic (either all the time or at least a week prior to period) for the yeast infections and evening primrose for the emotional symptoms and see after 1-2 periods if that helps. But a call to your midwife or ob is never a bad idea!

My periods after my MC were different than before. I got pregnant 6 months after it and they still weren't back to normal. My cycle length just kept increasing. I have no idea how long it would have taken to get back to normal.

@Mrs. Sunshine: I hope you find some relief soon!

I'm really sorry, this sounds super frustrating. Another thing that might be worth looking into is a B complex vitamin - my main motivation for taking it was to reduce spotting and lengthen my luteal phase (it worked for that) but I also noticed that it helped with other symptoms, which granted weren't too severe. I know some people who swear by clary sage in a carrier oil to reduce pms symptoms. I tried it for mild cramping and it seemed to help. I haven't tried probiotics for yeast infection, but after I went off birth control, I was getting daily stomach aches, and I read somewhere that hormonal changes can really mess up your body's good bacteria. I started drinking kefir several times per week and it really, really helped.
