How long was your first cycle after...

[Mel1977]

Helen, I am so very sorry to hear about your little boy Cooper Everyone cycle varies after birth, for me I had the post partum bleed for about 5 weeks and then at 6 weeks started again and I thought it was a period but ob said it was probably not and then about a month after that bleed I got a regular cycle back so we took that as the return.

When you do start trying I wish you all the luck in the world for a speedy BFP and a healthy pregnancy and baby

Oh Helen, I'm sorry for the loss of little Cooper. I hope that you're taking care of yourself and getting support from the people you love.

I lost my boy on 10 April and just got my period back yesterday which makes it about 7 weeks. I bled for nearly four weeks so I had three weeks of no bleeding then my period.

I haven't got any answers for why my baby died either. My ob just said to wait for the full autopsy results - expected to take about 2mths - but there's no reason for us to wait much longer.

I'm all over the place emotionally so we're doing a preconception program with naturopath to give us something to do with ourselves. The program is recommended for 4-6mths so I hope to TTC towards the end of the year.

Take care of yourself, Helen.

Helen, welcome to Belly Belly and I am so incredibly sad to hear of the loss of your son Cooper.

As the other women have said - it is such a variable when your period will return. Take the time you need to - lean on the wonderful women here.
