Is she hell on wheels for everyone else after a loss?... Im on day 3 and this is ridiculas. Soaking thru a tampon and a pad, clots galore and cramping.. Yesterday my lower back was so bad I could hardly get out of my chair at work... Oh and fussyyyy... Everyone said they knew to stay away from me yesterday at work.. Now today Im whiney and work has given me a no whining sign. I hope its not like this every month now... whew!

Becca I am sorry she is such torture on you. I am no expert but after my loss I was bleeding and getting clots about 2 weeks total.
Then my first AF was ok but the second one was a little more intense. Then the third one was really weird: Brown discharge for 2 days, this turned red for 1.5 day and then she was gone. I was really moody and had pain in my lower back and legs to the knees.
I hope that your next AF (I hope she does not show and that we will get BFP) that it is lighter on you.

this was me too. the first two days were horrific - along with major pms. then it slowed and really only ended up lasting about 4 days total.

my next af is due sat.... i hope it is a normal one.

so sorry this one is kicking your butt hopefully it will be the last one you have to endure for about 9 months!

YES, she "cleans house" especially the first cycle post-loss... so it's definitely NOT unusual for to be like this. I hope you get a some relief after she leaves, so sorry she's hard ya!

Your work sounds like a fun and funny atmosphere

My doctor told me that could happen on the first cycle after loss

Hey Becca,
Mine was pretty horrible, much like your describing in intensity (clotting, pain, soaking through a tampon in less than 2 hours) but it was only super heavy for 2 days, then next to nothing. Just think of it as spring cleaning, everything fresh and new for the next course of babymaking!!
Im really sorry she's being such a witch for you though, ugh!
Rest,warm bath maybe? And take out for dinner! lol
Feel better soon hun, I know it sucks.

Mine was also very heavy for a few days, but then ended in a normal amount of time. I was irritated because I was bleeding so heavy the beginning of the week that I canceled a test I was supposed to have with my ob/gyn and didn't get another appointment until a month later! Then it ended up being gone by the end of the week when my appointment was supposed to be. Just another way af is always messing things up!

Hugs Becca. That stinks that she's being so horrible. Send her packing quickly.

Mine was very light and pretty much *normal* for me.
