Hello ladies, it's now been 4 weeks since my miscarriage bleeding started. I bled for 2 weeks in total. I've heard you're period is usually 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage so I'm just wondering when everyone else who's been through a heartbreaking miscarriage got theirs? I was hoping and praying to get pregnant straight after the miscarriage. We started having unprotected sex right after the pregnancy tests turned negative. I have been tracking ovulation every day since I stopped bleeding but have just had faint lines on the ovulation test every single day, so I don't think I have ovulated 😞 also I'm having period like cramps and a super bloated belly so guess it's just a waiting game xx

I’m currently going through my first ‘proper’ period after miscarriage (eg a period that came after ovulation, confirmed by a blood test).

The internet warned this period might be different but it’s been so long!! I spotted for a few days before and have now been bleeding for 9 days. It’s not that heavy or clot filled but I’m unsure at what point I should be concerned.

Doctor no good as only response is to order a scan, which has a 8 week wait time on the NHS in my area.

Could people share their first period post miscarriage stories to provide reassurance?

My miscarriage was ectopic if that makes a difference!

Miscarriage/pregnancy loss

I have just had surgical management for a missed miscarriage at ten weeks. The consultant that I spoke to before the op said that the conventional advice is to wait to have one menstrual period before ttc, but that there was no harm in trying before that, and if a baby is going to stick before that, it will. He didn't think that it made any difference to chances of early conception whether you had had a naturally occurring miscarriage or a surgically managed one. So my question is, has anyone managed to get pregnant immediately after a miscarriage, without having a period first? This miscarriage comes less than a year after a full term neonatal loss for us, so we are really desperate to have a successful pregnancy as soon as possible.

What happens if you get pregnant after a miscarriage before your first period?

It is possible to get pregnant after a pregnancy loss but before your first period because you can ovulate before your first post-miscarriage period. Research has actually found that women may be more fertile in the three months following a miscarriage. Remember that in order to get pregnant, you need to be ovulating.

Can you get pregnant after a miscarriage before having another period?

You can ovulate and become pregnant as soon as two weeks after a miscarriage. Once you feel emotionally and physically ready for pregnancy after miscarriage, ask your health care provider for guidance. After one miscarriage, there might be no need to wait to conceive.

Are you super fertile after a miscarriage?

In the long-term, no. There is no evidence that suggests that you are more fertile after one or more miscarriages. However, some studies do suggest that in the short-term, couples may be more likely to conceive after miscarriage if they conceive within 3 months, compared to those who wait longer than three months.

How long after your first period after a miscarriage can you get pregnant?

If you normally have regular periods, your next period will usually happen around 4–6 weeks after a miscarriage. However, you will ovulate before then, so you may be fertile in the first month after a miscarriage. Your doctors may advise you to have at least one period before you start trying for another baby.
