What was your first period like after your loss, whether natural or d&c?

Mine was heavy the first couple days but then really light, almost not there the rest. I typically had a little heavier of a flow throughout about 6 days.

Do you think it would be ok to start ttc this cycle or does the flow/length of a period have anything to do with being ready to ttc?

Mine was very heavy for 2 days and then very light for 3 days. Definitely different for me, since I used to have 1 heavy day and then a medium/light flow for 4 or 5 days. I don't really think your actual AF has anything to do with TTC though. We are back to TTC after just one cycle! Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. We are also back to ttc in a few days. Good luck!

so sorry for you loss

I just had my first AF mid Oct and it was very heavy and lasted for 11 days! Hope that is the last of that type.

I had a natural m/c at 10 weeks and my period came 24 days later. It was really light the first day, pretty much just spotting, but seemed pretty normal the next 4 days.

My first AF post MC was pretty bad, big clots and super heavy flow that lasted awhile with bad cramps ... However, my 2nd AF was much better, a few cramps, no clots kind of light and only 3-4 days... We started on our own that cycle but no joy yet !!! I like to use a quote from one of my daughter's fav movies ....
just keep swimming, just keep swimming... Gotta love dori :-)

My first period was like the previous poster's. Very heavy, full of clots, painful, and LONG! It reminded me of the first postpartum period (sorry if that hurts anyone). But I think the hormone combinations are similar and that first one can be a doozy. I still have not had a "normal" one, as the others have been early miscarriages (chemical losses). They have also been heavier than normal and a couple days later. I assume from the few extra days of blood and implantation attempts. I am sure that my periods will go back to normal after this whole mess is over.

I don't think how your period shows has anything to do with your body not being ready. If it came, you bleed after a break of not bleeding (after the miscarriage) and the bleeding stopped, I am sure your lining is producing just fine. I wouldn't dwell too much on how it presented. Your periods will change like that over time anyway. And something like a birth or miscarriage and permenantly change them. I would go with whatever plans you have to TTC. Good luck!!

My first period after my 8wk loss was strangely really short. I've had short periods since then, only 2 days of medium and like 3 days of spotting compared to my normal 7 days of heavy. It just changes everything so you can't really compare anymore. It's just a new normal I guess.
