Soo, I am new to this group, hello everyone, if you are here, i am sorry that you have to belong to this group! But it is nice to know there are women out there that can truly identify with the devastation I have felt. Just a quick history:
Natural MC on Aug 7,2011
First period on Sept 30,2011
Today is Day 38 of my second cycle, and no sign of AF, so i took a pregnancy test this morning, and it was negative :( I was so devastated. Any one else have messed up second cycle?? I spotted for a few days this month, so i know everything is not back to normal, i was just really really hoping it could have happened!!!
I bought a clear blue fertility monitor to try this next cycle, whenever that may be.....just frustrated of waiting...sad, and alone. it feels as though everyone around me is pregnant or has children. Any words of advice, or just if you are in a similar situation, let me know! Look forward to supporting each other

Hi ESV543,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my first on 5/13/11. My cousin was pregnant at the same time I was and she just delivered her healthy baby yesterday.

My cycles were normally 29 days and my first two periods after the D&E were way longer than normal 33 days and then 35 days the month after. My husband an I weren't trying yet so I knew it couldn't be that...it was weird...but then it got closer to 30 days. Give it some time and since you are ready to concieve a fertility monitor is a good idea because your ovulation date will be different now too.

Good luck and I know it will happen for you soon!

I just finished havine a natural miscarriage. I have been bleeding for 2 weeks straight. I think it might finally finish in the next day or two.....at least the pain is mostly gone.....Hubby and I are devestated, but we want to try again. My sister had a miscarriage about 10 years ago. Then she had a healthy baby girl right after (she did not wait for a period). Her daughter is very very healthy and very smart. So there is hope.

Yes, I miscarried in January of this year. It was awful and sad, but my husband and I didn't wait to have sex, so I was convinced I could be pregnant again while I was waiting for that first period. But it came almost exactly 4 weeks after I stopped bleeding from this miscarriage.

Miscarriage messes you up!!!! Don't expect anything to feel normal. I used to have very regular 28-day periods, and now they are coming around day 25 or 6. And the pain was worse for me the first couple of months. I was waking up in the night with pain in my stomach from stress and grief, and trying to convince myself it was morning sickness. And my breasts have been achy and sore around week 3, just to fool me, too. I never remember that happening to me before.

Yes, people do get pregnant again after miscarriage without even going through a period. But for me, I am so sick of feeling hopeful and then getting crushed. The only things I believe in anymore are periods and pregnancy tests. All the other "symptoms" just mislead too easily.

I'm sorry for your pain and disappointment. Believe me, I feel it. Just know you're not the only one who goes through this. best,
Katie
