I am on CD 22 (roughly- it was not a normal period for me) and for the last week have been exhausted, having mood swings, and my face has been breaking out like crazy. This is my first cycle after my D&C and not normal for me. I also have been spotting frequently- again, not normal for me. I know that your body can change alot after a miscarriage, but geeez, I hope this not permanent. Just wanted to see if anyone else experienced such ramped up hormones and changes after. I would love to say they are early pregnancy symptoms, but Im not even letting myself think in that direction yet !

I am expecting AF to come any day. 27 days since D&C. I have been hot, have terrible mood swings, have chocolate cravings and I am very tired. Oh, and have been cramping a lot.

Def. understand what you are going through.

Hope we both feel better soon.

has your hcg hit zero? It could very well be your body's first response to AF after D&C, miscarriage... I know my cycles have been longer, boobs hurting, break outs, cramps, headaches, cravings, and a ton of other things not normal for me. My periods are pretty heavy but aren't brutal normally, after each one of my losses they are very different and do normalize after a few months / few cycles.

I am trying to think back.... I had my d/c in Feb of 09. It took 35 days for AF to return for me... that was 7 days longer than my "normal"..... I know I was in pain.. that took 5 months to go away... Not crippling pain.. but I was always feeling like cramps/pain. I was miserable... sad... I think more moody because it was my second loss... I don't remember breaking out, nor being tired.... Have you tested after your d/c.. to make sure you HCG is negative? So if you do test again... if it is positive... you will be sure it is a new pregnancy???

KUP!!

After my D&C, my skin was horrible for months... I was constantly having a giant pimple somewhere on my face... and I never even had acne as a teenager. I also have more PMS symptoms since my loss. It can take a while for you to get back to feeling normal, and some changes might be more permanent. Good luck!

I had my d&C back in late feb and had my first period on march 22nd. That was noooo fun. I never tested to see if my HCG was down to zero- but if I got my period, wouldnt it be to zero or really low?

And I wont be testing till I am officially late- whenever that is, since my cycles were irregular before all this mess. But ill wait as long as possible. I really hate seeing those negative tests. Id rather just wait it out. .

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
