Hi Mannie firstly i'm so sorry for your loss I also miscarried at 6 weeks and just because it was an early M/C it didn't make it any easier. My story was very similar to yours, i did 2-3 pregnancy tests and got a faint positives each time- having been pregnant before i thought maybe that was a bit strange since the pregnancy test i took with my son showed a very strong positive. Anyway at 6 weeks i started spotting over a few days and then started bleeding properly (which is when i passed the embryo) the hardest time was when i went to the toilet and passed some large clots and i just knew that was it
I really feel for you as i know it is such a painful time. I didn't need a D+C either as it was an early loss. i bleed for around 3 weeks- i think 2 of which was from the miscarriage and then i started my 'normal' period.
I felt really 'lost' for about 6months after the loss and just didn't know what to make of my feelings. About a month after the miscarrige i started feeling really faint and light headed- i went to the Dr and she said everything was fine. When i look back on it now i realise that it was the effect of stress and a bit of depression but i didn't realise it at the time because i don't get depressed much- just thought i'd mention that so you know what to look out for it you feel the same- its amazing the effect stress can have on the body.
Anyway it took about 6 months for me to feel as though i could try again mentally but i guess my body was back to normal about 2months after the miscarriage. I've heard you should at least wait untill you've had two normal periods after a M/C to try again but i guess it is whenever you feel ready.
All i can say is allow yourself time to think through things and talk to people about how you're feeling. A lose friend of mine miscarried at the same time so we had each other to lean on and i think that really helped the grieving process. Also BB was also a real life saver- i also joined after the miscarriage and it was so helpful knowing i had other ladies to talk to who understood what i was going through.
I wish you all the best and i'll say a little prayer that you will feel better soon
