Lemonade I am so sorry to hear you are going through this.
I tend to agree with Rach75 that as your loss was late that it could take time for your cycle to return (bleeding to stop and ovulation to occur again) it could be several weeks for all the bleeding to stop. Once this happens you can probably expect to then have signs of fertility again like fertile cervical mucous etc. Your temp also wont go down until this has occured as you probably still have a high progesterone level (which keeps your temp up) I hope it ceases for you so you can try again if that is what you want to do however if it continues for another week or two then this would be normal (provided its not smelly, painful, clotty etc)
Once again I am sorry this has happened to you and your DH.
hi
I am so sorry for the loss of your little bub. I lost my little girl 6 months ago , i was 18 weeks pregnant. it took 3 weeks for the bleeding to stop and now my cylces still are not all that regular. impatient is deff normal. I am sorry i cant be of more help, i am still TTC now. I agree with the OP about naming baby, it made it well not easier but it helped once we had named our little girl!
So sorry for your loss. I have only had early losses, so I cannot provide any advice on the medical stuff. Please know that this site has wonderful support and threads. Hugs x
I am so sorry. I found out at my 22 week scan that my little boy did not have a heart beat. It took 4 weeks for my bleeding to stop. I was pregnant again on the second cycle. Take a little time to heal. My second pregnancy was so emotionally difficult.
So much of what you have said is what seems to be in my head at the moment as well!
I am 4 weeks post birth, I delivered my baby boy at 22 weeks. Like you, I was so full of excitement at our 19 week scan but got terrible news. It took another couple of weeks for things to progress to the point where we had lost him and needed to be induced.
I am also keen to TTC ASAP, I don't want to replace my son but I really feel ready to try again.
I bled pretty steadily for 2 weeks then had another 5-6 days of spotting, during this last 5 days or so it would sometimes stop completely for a day then come back, which is frustrating.
I don't temp or use OPK's or anything but I suspect that I might have ovulated about 3 weeks out, just going on the CM. But I realise I have no way of knowing and I may not ovulate at all this cycle.
I am now impatiently waiting for my AF so we can try properly. Being patient about my body going back to normal has been impossible!
Hang in there, I know how much I was struggling at only 9 days out, I still am. But things do slowly get better, I feel like I have just started to feel somewhat ok again this week. I found that just getting out of bed every day and trying to do some normal things, seeing a friend, exercising etc, helped to pass the time. I have also found the lovely ladies in the TTC after late loss forum have been a massive help to me.
I am so sorry to hear of your losses. It's amazing how each of you are choosing to be strong.
I also just had a miscarriage early this week. I was about 5.5 weeks. It was very hard to accept at first but I guess by today, I have already done all the crying I needed to and accepted the fact. DH and I didnt have it easy as we underwent one ivf cycle without success and suddenly naturally conceived and then lost this baby.
Yes I can fully understand Lemonade about being impatient. Right now, I just want to start trying for a baby asap..more determined than ever. Since my bleeding has more or less stop and since this is very early miscarriage, I reckon my cycle is not really out of whack. I use the OPKs and basal temp tracking to pinpoint ovulation. That's how I got pregnant last month. I will start doing that soon.
Lemonade, as for your case, yes i agree with everybody else that your body has to undergo changes to normality since you were about 19 weeks. It may mean a little bit of waiting but the positive thing is I understand that your body would be really fertile right after.
Rach75, your quote is so so true...I love it.

Frankly, if the truth be known, I think God has singled me out for a special treatment. I think God meant for me to build a thirst for a child so strong and so deep that when that baby is finally placed in my arms, it will be the longest, coolest, most refreshing drink I've ever known.
Hi Lemonade, i'm so so so sorry you are going through this
i just wanted 2 say, I have 2 children, after my daughter was born i bleed for about 2 weeks & my son was (longer than normal) about 8 weeks. I think up to six weeks is normal postpartum.. which as the others say, is probably more suited to your situation. I had early preg loss & bleed about 10 days.. Everyone is different.
There is something you could try to help regulate your cycle if you really want to ttc & its called Dong qual.. It's been highly recommended to me. I hope I have helped u in some way. Thinking of you x
