Heavier than normal?

This is my first AF since the m/c and d&c. Usually when I get AF I spot for a few days, but that didnt happen this time. I am hoping that it is because my body is trying to be normal (for once in my life).

But AF is a little bit heavier than normal. (not alarming, just annoying)

Is this normal to be heavier?

When you got your fist AF's was it heavier than normal too?

Did it continue to be heavy in future cycles or was it just a one time thing?

I just had my first af since my m/c and d&c and it was alot heavier than normal.. it was light the first day, and then super heavy for cd's 2, 3, 4, and 5.. then light for days 6 and 7 and spotting on day 8.. So not only was it heavier, but it was longer!i hope she lets up on you soon!

Mine was way heavier, and it was only that one time, so im hoping itll be the same for yu. I know jenntq13 had hers recently and it was heavier and full of pretty bad cramps. i think it is just your body adjusting to what happened.

I dunno if it's the same but my first AF after my ectopic pregnancy was horrid!
I mean when you stand up you can feel it pouring (TMI) I know, sorry. And, it was like 8-9 days long! So, I think it's normal. The one after was pretty regular and back to 5 days. Hang in there hun!

"you stand up you can feel it pouring (TMI)"

Exactly what I was meaning. Today for lunch I got to go home and chgange my clothes and shower. The evil witch plays games with me, and this one isnt fair at all.

I am just glad that she is here and we can move forward towards the goal of baby. So I cant really complain too much.

Mine was heavier and more painful. I did not feel mine coming until it got here but after it showed I had really bad cramps.

first time round it lasted much longer and I went through so many pads (TMI) it was untrue but they were back to normal straight after, this time round I have not had one yet (hopefully I wont) but I am expecting a pretty heavy one if I do so don't worry I think its completely normal
