AF still hasn't shown up. Friday morning is when I had the m/c - clot and bright red bleeding for about an hour or so. Since then I've had a tiny bit of pinkish-brown spotting, maybe 4 or 5 times when I've wiped. That's it. Nothing else.

AF was due this weekend, probably today. But WTH? I've not even had an cramping or having pre-AF signs like I normally do. I really assumed that this m/c would just turn into AF...I thought that's how it would work. This really early m/c (chemical) pg is new territory for me...has anyone had this happen...AF being a no-show for days after the initial bleeding?

This really sucks. My boobs are still really sore. Sigh...


***UPDATE: AF is now here...and she's pretty mean, but that's OK. Sorry guys, guess I whined a little too soon. But thanks for all your support.

Oh Krystal HUGS!! I have to say when I had my loss in Nov... AF was a few days late.. I tested got a very faint BFP.. and then AF showed with in 36 hours... I did however this past loss.... had a few days of spoting, than had only 2 light days.. a few day of spotting... but if you remember I was still getting + tests.. since my body would just M/C totally.. I was in the 50's for a few weeks... It took my 4 weeks to get back to 0.. and finally have my first AF... I wish I could give you a better answer.. HUGS!

My tests are negative...have been since Friday morning and my temp has plummeted. I guess that's why I assumed AF would come as scheduled. I should know better than to assume anything my body does is going to be "normal"! I'm just being impatient...I just want to move on with this cycle...

So what will by my cd1? FF started a new cycle with the m/c friday...or should it actually be when AF shows?

[Kary♥RN]

I would keep it at were you have it unless AF shows.... But I think AF will show in the next few days.. than I would adjust FF to show AF as of the new date... Right now because M/C screws up your system.. your at the mercy of AF... HUGS I am so sorry! HUGS

Hi Krystal. I am not trying to scare you at all but this is what happend to Lori and it ended up being a tubal pregnancy. Hopefully she will come online and confirm this or tell me I am wrong. If your cycle doesn't start by tomorrow I would call your doctor just to make sure you are physically ok.

I hope AF shows soon.

Krystal I'm extremely sorry honey, I hear ya on thinking there is no normal when it comes to our bodies, darnit! Geesh! I'm glad you can make a "joke" in such a crappy time like right now, it's good that you still have your sense of humor in a way.

AF... well she may not show for 2,4 even 6 weeks. It's possible she may show in a few days once everything zero's out, but it's also possible that she won't for a while. I think the senario is different from time to time and woman to woman... so there's no saying exactly when. I'm sorry to not have any conclusive evidence or help. Shoot my 2 losses this summer were totally different... the first I was approx 7wks then lost my babe just to ovulate days later! Then when the dr caused the loss of my 2nd babe, that was a very long cycle afterwards.

So, I think you should try to get into your dr's office... as soon as you can, see if they can squeeze you in tomorrow! Then they can check you out, do some bloodwork and go from there. Better safe than sorry kwim?

In the case of FF, leave it as is and considering m/c as CD1... even a nurse & doc's told me that the first real day of bleeding (not spotting) is considered like a 1st day of a new cycle.

It's highly unlikely that this is an ectopic... your levels would continue to rise slowly and not normally &/or drop a teeny bit but to go back up just not in normal doubling time. HOWEVER, I would STILL get checked out! When in doubt, get checked out! Ectopic pregnancies are not something to play around with and it's better to rule it out in the long run. An u/s probably wouldn't show anything right now unfortunatly, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't look inside so they can see other potential problems or give you a clean bill of health. Either way!

Krystal! You're in my prayers, thoughts and heart!

Krystal... If you have Negative HPT's... I highly doubt it is anything to worry about... If I were you I would wait, If you start having pain, or a fever... I would than worry. But you are only what 24 hours later than what your normal "AF show date"?? I would not at all be surprised if it takes your body a few more days... HUGS!
