First period after miscarriage, help please?

[dinkydoona]

Hi, I had a miscarriage 4 weeks ago and the doctor suggested that my periods would return 4-6 weeks after. I woke up this morning with extreme cramps like I have never experienced before however I have no bleeding as yet? I have also read that your first period after a miscarriage can be really heavy (with clots) which I hope not as I am going on holiday on Sunday for 1 week and I really hope I don't come on before I get back! Can anyone offer any advice on this issue? Thanks in advance xx

Hi hun how are you doing?

Im afraid if your going to come on there's not alot you can do about it.if its heavey and painful make sure you stock up on pads and painkillers. Sorry . not much help! Xx
