2nd period since Miscarriage - bleeding heavily

Flowergirlhope profile image

Hello allxxI had an early miscarriage back in September.

This is my second actual period since my miscarriage, first one was really heavy, but they said this was to be expected after a miscarriage, however I'm on my second period (started couple of days earlier than due) and I'm bleeding so heavily again........just want to know is this normal?? Anyone had the same?

Just feel drained 😔

Hi. So sorry to hear this. It can take up to three cycles to become what is normal to you. Why not have a word with your GP. Hopefully your hormones will soo settle. Diane

Heavy bleeding after a miscarriage can be normal for some people, especially in the first few cycles as your body adjusts, but it’s completely understandable that you're feeling drained and concerned. Try to rest as much as you can and take care of yourself. Sending you lots of strength. xx

Hi it can take a few months after a miscarriage for your periods to settle back to normal. For me it took about 4 months before my periods went back to normal. Try to rest up and be kind to yourself x

Hi there, yes for me the first period after the long m/c bleed was very light and painless but the second went on for ages and hurt like hell. Like others have said, hormones and the womb take a few cycles to get back to your normal, and its so brutal combined with the remaining grief. Hang on in there, and take time to nurture yourself x
