Periods traumatic after miscarriage *may be triggering*
Does anyone else find periods after miscarriage traumatic? Not from a TTC viewpoint, but just the visual side of it?
I feel alright about AF coming, it's actually a relief as it's been almost a year, but seeing the clots just reminds me of my miscarriages, and freaks me right out. There's not really anything I can do about it I suppose. Misery/freakoutery like company though I guess
AF and m/c bleeds are very different for me, so thankfully i don't have that trigger. unfortunately, it makes it very obvious when i have m/c, even very early on
oh hun i'm exactly the same.. my AF since our m/c has been different too. a lot more heavy and clotty too it's been 5 months now, and they seem to be getting worse. i was suppose to make a thread about this also but it skipped my mind.
it makes you not forget about what happened, but the constant monthly reminders are not nice...
Not for me. TBH I am grateful for my periods not being another loss, so they don't bother me much except for the not being pregnant part. Which is a whole other story.
I found the AF after my mc was different to a usual period. It was heavy and clotted, when usually I only use a packet of slim minis for a whole period. It was pretty emotional for me as the pain and clots were a crappy reminder of a sad time.
Ahhh, see, my periods have only come after using Primolut which is after they're months late - obviously that's why I'm getting clots. To be honest, I don't think I've ever experienced a 'normal' period, they've always been clotty. MC's are definitely worse, with huge clots, but normal for me is clotty.

I hope it's over and done with without too much more fuss
My first period after *my mum* had one of her miscarriages (Xmas baby, as I named him/her, because they were lost on Xmas Eve ) freaked me out. I think it might have been because I'd been having nightmares about how it happened. I was the one who called the ambulance and had to ask her if she'd passed the baby (I had never really thought about that part of a miscarriage) and the period was visually similar to my nightmares because it was heavier than usual. I was sitting on the same loo as well. I just tried to get clean-up and pad changing done as quickly as possible so as to not have to look at the blood and small clots for too long
