    First AF after miscarriage?

    First of all, sorry if this isn't in the right spot. Mods feel free to move.

    Okay, I'm just wondering what other people have experienced after having a miscarriage in regards to AF returning?

    Today I've had some horrible pains in that area, feels like someone is wringing my insides! Earlier today I couldn't even stand up straight it was so painful It's not painful now but feels tender to touch my lower abdo.

    I don't have any bleeding or offensive odour, so don't think it's an infection. Does this sound typical or should I go back to my GP?

    hun, how long ago was your m/c? How far along were you? And was it a natural m/c? I am so sorry for your loss xoxoxox

    You poor thing
    Tender to touch does not sound normal. Could be a sign of infection. I would go to drs just to be safe.

    After my m/c's AF went back to usual. Maybe slightly more painful and a little heavier right after, but nothing excruciating.

    If it is an infection you need it seen to asap. X

    Yas it was a natural miscarriage earlier this month, bled for about 2 weeks. Thanks sweetie.

    JM, you're right of course. I don't like my chances of getting in today but will call my GP. Ta darl.

    I would go back to the GP just incase, if it's worrying you its worth getting checked out.

    AF straight after a m/c always seem to be quiet painful for me though but not to the extent your describing.

    Just wanted to say thanks again for telling me to go get it checked out - needed antibiotics. Is this ever going to end

    I am so glad you went Cheeze. Did they suggest a scan to check for retained placenta? Or the possibility of a curette? Or do they think the AB's will clear it up?
    What crap luck.

    No scan as yet, just if I have the usual symptoms to come back. He thinks since my last scan showed practically nothing the ABs will clear it up. this is the end of it anyway.

    Hun i am so sorry you've got an infection on top of everything else! I prefer to have D&C because i always end up with an infection.
    Take care of yourself, and if the pain gets any worse make sure you go back to the doctor. How are you going emotionally? sending you lots of xoxoxox

    Oh no!! I'm so sorry about that CM. Hope everything is okay now! I've only just stopped bleeding now after 2.5 weeks. Hope it's all gone now, that sounds nasty!
