First period post miscarriage

Yes, I’ve had negative tests and blood work and ultrasounds weeks ago all confirming that my hcg levels are negative and doesn’t look like any retained tissue. Was it a heavier, more painful period and did it last longer than normal?
For me it was worse. But I can’t speak for others. I had bad cramps (don’t usually beg them) but I did have 7 days of heavy bleeding so found myself taking quite a few painkillers and needing a hot water bottle x
Usually they last 4/5 days this was around 7/8. They told me, it could be longer or shorter, lighter or heavier. No one knows annoyingly
@Danielle I appreciate the insight on your personal experience. I am nervous on how it’s going to be physically combined with the emotional aspect of it all as well. This has all been so hard. Are your cycles typically regular or irregular? I have PCOS so my cycles have been irregular and I don’t always ovulate. It’s so confusing trying to figure out what my body is doing, especially following a miscarriage.
My cycles are regular, usually
I started spotting a week before my first period turned up, id say it may be more than likely due. With my first miscarriage it returned 5 weeks and 4 days after medical management and the period lasted just over 2 weeks but was only medium/heavy for around 4 of those days & this time around it’s returned at 5 weeks and 1 day after medical management/MVA. Worth noting my second period turned up 2.5 weeks after my last ended last time so a very short gap but was almost a normal cycle for me.. it did settle down after that.
I started my period on Friday night so I guess I’m technically on day 3 of my period now. It started out really heavy and bright red blood with some small clots. The cramps were also pretty painful. It’s let up some now. I’m curious how long it’s going to last. Thanks for your response @Jess. It’s always interesting hearing other peoples’ experiences. It’s really interesting that you got a second cycle so soon after your first and that it was almost like normal. I wonder when my cycles will return to “normal.” Do you have PCOS also?
Have you had a negative test confirming it’s all finished? I had my period 6 weeks after my miscarriage and it was bright red blood.
