I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in February. It was my first pregnancy age 39.
I was given misoprostol due to retained product in my uterus which didn’t work and I was then refused a D&C due to Covid risk…
By summer I had a uterine AVM which was causing a lot of pain and haemorrhaging so I was given Tranexamic Acid and advised to take 2 progesterone pills daily.
Now the AVM has gone thankfully and my last pill was 27th October.
I’ve had a period but my body still doesn’t feel normal. My cycle before the pregnancy was as regular as clockwork.
Now after having a proper period I am not ovulating (no egg white) but I have had ovulation type pains for a week now (2 weeks later than predicted) and that type of pain I only usually get for a few hours. Something just isn’t right.
How long did it take others to return to their normal cycle after AVM?
My story is already somewhere in this group so I won’t repeat the long Pelvic AVM experience.
It took almost 5 months after my first D&C in 2018. In that time was also when the AVM was discovered due to continuous bleeding.
This time after 2 MC in the last 6 months my period is on schedule but heavier then I remember it being before. I only had one cycle in between those pregnancies and it wasn’t much of a period, one day of very light bleeding.
To date I have no babies. We are now meeting with a fertility specialist and trying not to get pregnant until I can have a saline Ultrasound on Jan 27th. This will show any problems in the uterus that could be contributing to the recent miscarriages.
Thank you Krista. Maybe we are doing the wrong thing by trying for a 2nd pregnancy.
I am waiting for a callback from a gynaecologist this month so of course I’ll explain my concerns to him. I was just hoping that after the AVM had gone that my cycle would return to normal as it was so regular before but yet the problems continue…
I wouldn’t necessarily say wait to try for a second. They say wait 2 menstrual cycles, we only waited one in between. I would listen to their advice on that one. Everyone is different. I wish you all the best.
I just don’t want to go through this again so seeking help with the hope of preventing that.
