Yesterday I started with light bleeding.(more or less spotting off and on.) Today 1-24 I got these most awful cramps. Sort of reminded me of the day I MC(Dec.25) I am still having light bleeding. A couple times,breif times,itseemed a little more today. I have not had a cycle yet and I would normaly run a 28 day cycle. I guess my question is, is this my period? How do I know. My Dr. told me we can try again after my first cycle. But if I'm not sure this is it, is there a way to find out?
I feel like a crazy person these days. How long has it taken other people to get there first cycle? Did it seem at all like this? I know everyone is different. I feel like I can ask on here and feel safe that everyone feels as crazy as I do.
Any advice at this point is good advice. Thanks so much in advance!!

It is most likely your first period. A lot of times the first one after a m/c is different than what they were before you got pregnant. If you are uncertain. I would call the doctor and see what s/he has to say. It usually takes between 4-6 weeks to get your period after a m/c. Hang in there. You are in my thoughts.

It took a month after my miscarriage for my AF to come back in full swing. Since losing Angel, my periods have been different as well. Heavier, more painful. I don't know if it is a combination of my age on top of the miscarriage or what.

I am sorry for your loss. My first period after my m/c was strange as well. It started exactly 4 weeks from the date of my d&c. It was however a very light and short. The next month it started right on time and the flow was much better. I am one of the ones that never had a heavy period after my loss but im also 40 so I figured it was my time to slow down. We started trying after that second period came and went. It took us 6 months to get pregnant again. Give it another cycle so you know you are on track. I also used ovulatiion kits...which was a huge help. Good luck!
