What is going on?

Last month I had an early MC at 5 weeks. (I guess it was more of a chemical). I started spotting on June 8th, however a line and digital test still showed BFP. June 10th was a full on flow with a negative pregnancy test. My doctor took my blood that day and my beta came back at 10 confirming the pregnancy and loss. I bled heavy for about 5-6 days. Then everything seemed to go back to normal. I even think I ovulated this month bc I had all my usual O signs. DH and I decided we wanted to keep trying so we did. A lot. (My Dr. said it was fine).

Now I have been cramping like crazy since Tuesday. I took a test on Tuesday and Thursday and both BFN. I'm ok with it but I don't understand where AF is. I know it can take some time after a MC but should I be cramping this much if she isn't coming yet? Last night and this morning were the first time in days that I'm not having AF cramps. I estimate today to be CD 28 based on CD 1 being when the full on flow came last month. My cycles typically are 25-26 days.

I'm not even sure what I'm looking for here. I am such a control freak and I just can't live and let be. I guess I am just wondering if anyone else had random AF cramps while they were waiting for her to show up?

What is going on?

AFter any type of MC it can take anywhere from 4-10 weeks to get AF. Cramps, sometimes, are just random cramps, nothing to do with AF, more along the lines of general muscle cramps.

What is going on?

My first MC was a chemical and my doctor explained to me that my body would still be out of whack and cycles can be off right after.

I tried again right after and got a bfn on the day I was due and felt off and got a bfp two days later.. good luck and be patient!

Re: What is going on?

I am going through almost the same thing so it's nice to hear I'm not alone. I miscarried at 8 weeks. It's been 29 days since it started. My regular cycles usually are 26 days. I haven't been trying since my doctor advised to wait for 2 regular cycles. I've been feeling all the premenstrual symptoms but still waiting for AF.

I've also been feeling slightly more "crazy" than my usual premenstrual symptoms. I guess my hormones are still slightly out of whack. I can't wait to feel normal again and get things back on track so we can start trying.

Re: What is going on?

Just to update - AF did arrive last week. I think in my mind I was just really hoping that I would get pregnant again right away. We are back on track now and have decided to actively try. I am using my CBEFM again and we will give it a few months before we decide to go back to my RE for help.
