Hello! I have and two miscarriages in the last 6 months. My first miscarriage was in May and my second in October. With my second miscarriage I was 5 weeks and we were able to see the baby on the US. The following day I went back to the doctor due to bleeding and was told I was having a miscarriage, because the baby's shape was flattened and not round like they day before. I had to take 2 rounds of medicine (can't remember name) to help me pass the baby. Since then, I have experienced periods every 2-3 weeks. We have been using protection as the doctor said to wait at least 3 months before trying. I am just getting concerned about the irregular periods. I am going to call the doctor on Monday, but I just wanted to get feedback to help ease my mind in the meantime. Thanks for any advice or help!
Between meds and hormones, your system is all upside down. Definitely speak to your Dr. and make sure nothing else is going on. Good Luck.
Wacky periods are pretty normal for the first 3-6mo.
DO tell your OB. They may have you take something to regulate them, or come in for tests... But even if its just 'wait it out', its a gold thing for them to have charted.

Welcome to mamapedia!!!
I am sorry for your loss. At five weeks that you were able to see more than a yolk sack is amazing...you typically see arm and legs buds around 6 to 8 weeks...
This is totally normal! it can take up to 6 months for hormones to get back in sync...especially for those further along...I lost Alexis at 22 weeks...it took a while to get "my" regular back. Everyone is different.
you could have been given methotraxate or vaginal misoprostol..there are probably others...however..these are the most common...
I don't have any advice for you...
I just want to say I am so sorry for your loss. May you soon have a full term successful pregnancy and be able to hold a precious little one.
Definitely communicate with your OB/GYN or RE, but this is very common.
You may have taken methotrexate. I just had one round of methotrexate for an ectopic pregnancy in November. I had bleeding for about 5 weeks, then light spotting for a week then nothing for a week and then a period then nothing now I'm spotting again.
It takes A WHILE for your hormones to regulate and the methotrexate will affect that. This is part of the reason why you have to wait 3 months.... it's so your cycle can regulate. And also so the methotrexate can get all out of your system. You aren't supposed to even take folic acid for 6 weeks after your last dose.
First of all, I'm so sorry about your losses. I think that you would be well served by going to a fertility specialist to get some testing done to try to find out why you are miscarrying. I had a friend who had several miscarriages and ended up needing to have progesterone shots. Then she was able to carry 2 babies to term.
I would not try to conceive again until you've done this. So very sorry you are going through this.
