Hello,
Your initial periods after a
miscarriage will be a little haywire.Your hormones have been all over the place and after a miscarriage.your
hCG levels will need to reach zero.
Expect your period to be heavier. It’s perfectly natural to have heavy bleeding during your first few periods after a miscarriage.
You are likely to experience symptoms of PMS and witness a whole array of unusual things like extra cervical mucus in a range of colours and
blood clots.
Expect this and do not worry, your first period after a miscarriage will be painful. Bleeding post miscarriage stops quickly and then you spot blood for a few days.
A week later, you will notice spotting again accompanied by cramps and heavy bleeding. Essentially, this rollercoaster period gets over when you don’t bleed for 20 days straight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nahida Altaf, General & Family Physician
