Anyone that had a chemical pg or natural m/c
Was your first AF after the m/c lighter than usual?
Mine is lighter than usual and more brown than usual. It's heavy enough where I know its AF without a doubt, but not as heavy as I normally get it for. Also, its only really lasting for 2.5 days.
Thx.

This is from Babyhopes -
What is a chemical pregnancy?
A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman's period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.
With the ultra sensitive pregnancy tests on the market today, it is easier than ever to get a positive result 3 or 4 days before your period is due. It is wonderful for those who NEED to know, but does have it's down side. Early testing shows chemical pregnancies which would not have been detected had the woman waited for her period to arrive.
Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.
What Causes a Chemical Pregnancy
Most chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems in the developing fetus. Other possible causes are inadequate uterine lining, uterine abnormalities both congenital or acquired like fibroids, low hormone levels, luteal phase defect or certain infections.
How can I Prevent Chemical Pregnancies
Most chemical pregnancies can not be prevented. If you have recurring chemical pregnancies, your doctor should be able to investigate and help you formulate a treatment which is best for you. Potential treatments include vitamin B6 (at least 50mg a day), progesterone cream, and baby asprin. Be sure to discuss potential treatments with your doctor.
If infection is the cause, antibiotics prescribed by your Doctor can help.

Re: Anyone that had a chemical pg or natural m/c
Unfortunatly, I have had both. AF was normal for both.
I think each person is different and wouldn't worry. If you have a concern call your Dr.
Be happy she showed up. Now you can move on.
Good luck!

Re: Anyone that had a chemical pg or natural m/c
I have had a natural M/C, from what I remember my period was normal, but it came alot sooner then usual, before the m/c I had a 28 day cycle now for the last few months my cycle is about 24 days. I don't know if it has anything to do with the m/c or not.

Yea - Actually, this is true for me too...I'll sometimes randomly have a month that just seems less heavy.
