Sorry if TMI but I've googled loads and still none the wiser. I'm unable to get an appointment with my gynae - I'm not unduly worried and think something's wrong but if anyone can tell me if they've experienced similar and how long it took for their cycle to become regular again I'd appreciate it. Also, did anyone experience weight-gain after a mc or d&c? It's weird - I didn't gain an ounce in the first trimester but since the op, I seem to be 5lbs heavier!!

I suffered a partial miscarriage at the end of August, started haemorrhaging so had an emergency d&c. Had a follow-up appointment a month later and at the time I had spotting for 2 weeks but no 'normal' period. I have had one really, really heavy one since and now I have had spotting again and period-pain aches for the past few days although it shouldn't be due for at least another week - my cycles were regular 28day ones before.

Again, apologies for TMI!

Hi Gray Girl I'm so sorry for your loss. It's totally normal for your cycles to be erratic after pregnancy. I had a miscarriage followed by a D&C last year in the UK. I saw my GP after 3 months, as everything I'd read on the internet said you should be back to normal at 12 weeks, and I hadn't yet had a period. She told me to stop worrying and to enjoy the summer, and to come and see her after 6 months. Sure enough, 6 months to the day, everything was back to normal. However if you continue to have heavy bleeding you should definitely get checked out as it's possible they might have missed a bit in the D&C. I hope everything is back to normal for you soon xx
