Yep. I’m broken again. It’s taking me right back to pre-little man times when I had awfully long heavy periods, and it’s bringing back so many hard memories. I know having a miscarriage can mess with your cycles. I was bleeding/spotting pretty much every day from the miscarriage to my first AF with the exception of around 2 weeks, so for around 5 weeks. I expected that. Then AF arrived mid/end of January, and I had a 28 day cycle, which I had never had before! “Great”, I thought, getting back to ‘normal’. Until this cycle. I have now been bleeding …
AF
Finally!… Post miscarriage first cycle
After my miscarriage I bled for a week and a half. This was expected, and I was glad when it finally stopped, as it was just a constant reminder of what I had lost. Of course I then had to wait for the arrival of my next AF, which the sonographer and nurse told me it could be in the next 4-6 weeks from mc. So I was surprised when on Xmas Eve I started spotting again (thanks Santa!). I thought it was the arrival of AF pending, but nope… I’ve been waiting day after day for a ‘proper’ bleed indicating …
Post pregnancy body changes
Since little man arrived, I’ve noticed a few physical changes in my body, which I guess every woman after childbirth will notice at least one. The first one for me is weight loss, which every woman will obviously experience after giving birth! In the first week I lost 10lbs, I was most aware of this by some of my pre pregnancy clothes fitting again after the few days. After that I gradually lost another 7lbs, but gained a few of those back (oops) which I’m frantically trying to lose again to fit in my bridesmaid dress on Saturday! I had …
PCOS – how it affects
Earlier this month I wrote a post on the facts of PCOS. This post will be about the affect it has had, or it has, on other people. My experience with PCOS has been quite short in a way, but looking back from during diagnosis and afterwards, I think in a way it has been a lengthy one too. Ever since I started my periods they have been horrendous – heavy, long, never knowing when they were going to start/end. At school I was put on tablets because they were so heavy, but they made me sick so I stopped …
Clomid cycle 2 update, and other stuff (small TMI alert)
Realised I haven’t updated for a while, well since before I started clomid round 2, so here goes… Well AF actually appeared ‘properly’ the day after my last blog post, so that helped! Roll on CD2 and I started on my 100mg, well I was pretty normal (well as normal as my periods can be) for that day, but the next two days were absolutely horrendous. AF was so heavy and I had stomach ache throughout, it was that bad I had to go and ‘change’ every couple of hours, just yuck. I haven’t had a period like that for …
