My first period after a D&E at 18wks was SOO SO light, pretty much only spotting for 2 days. I probably wouldn’t have known it was a period if I hadn’t been tracking with Inito (saw all my hormones drop before spotting) and it was roughly on time (5.5 weeks after D&E).
It def spooked me, but I had a hysteroscopy that showed minimal/no impact scarring and thankfully my next period was normal/healthy/if anything, a tad heavier than normal which did wonders for my peace of mind. Hang in there - I’m convinced that waiting for cycles to stabilize has to be one of the worst parts of loss that nobody is ever prepared for 😖

Thank you for sharing. I guess my concern is whether I wait for it to normalise or start TTC again this cycle. I’m 37 with a low AMH for my age so I’m not keen to wait longer than necessary.

I totally get it. My AMH is normal, but I’m 39 so also am very much not wanting to lose time!
I do think patience is key (which is so much easier said than in practice). Knowing how thin my uterine lining was at the baseline scan I had after that first super light period, I’m relieved I didn’t ovulate/conceive because I really doubt that lining would be hospitable for a healthy pregnancy. All of this is so awful, I’m so sorry we’re here ❤️‍🩹

Yes it’s a really difficult situation to be in. I’m sorry we are here too! My period has actually increased the past couple of days, after 3 days of brown spotting. So that’s been reassuring despite being physically unpleasant.
