Hi all,
So, I'm having what I believe is my first period after the miscarriage. I started cramping and bloating yesterday - my typical AF signs - which have decreased significantly today.
My question is, what is the first period post-MC like? Is it usually "different" than your normal cycle? I'm reading that it can be a lot of things - lighter or heavier, a lot shorter than usual or longer - and that there's really no "normal" per se.
Just wondered if your experience with your first cycle after miscarrying was different than a "normal period" for you. Trying to figure out what the heck my body's doing. Still.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Has anyone switched from spiriva and to what, if so. Was the new med as effective as spiriva? My part d plan will no cover it next year and I'm trying to figure out if I. Should go from an advantage plan or straight medicare with part d. I really need help deciding
PS: You guys may laugh, but I am new, a member since early December (post miscarriage), I have trouble reading some of the acronyms, such as AF, DH, RE? Is there somewhere on this website that I can refer to in order to pick up on the meanings? LOL.
DH = dear husband
DS = dear son (so on when it comes to a D in front of it)
AF = aunt flow
RE = reproductive endocranologiest (cant spell that one but you get what i am say..haha)
just give it time you will learn them..
I guess that's why my RE said I should wait a couple of months to start infertility testing. We plan to start in February.
So thanks again for responding and helping me understand what my crazy body is doing!
