My pregnancy ended in a natural miscarriage at 12 weeks last Saturday
Atomic what would you recommend moving forward? I had zero appetite with this pregnancy, and lost 15 pound the past 12 weeks. I started back drinking coffee in the mornings and zero snacking. My appetite hasn't fully returned, but I'm watching what I eat when I do. I'm still bleeding from the miscarriage, but my doctor said I'm open to try whenever I'm ready.
So very sorry naci. Keeping you in my prayers. Always here for you if you need to talk! ❤️

So, so sorry, Naci. Lots of hugs to you!! Hope you're able to get some rest and "me time" as you're recovering.

Oh I'm so sorry to read this - my condolences. :heart:
I would try to catch the first egg if possible. Don't worry about diet, you'll already have been depleted by the pregnancy and loss (and it sounds like you are very depleted.)
Did they shed any light on why the loss occurred, or why you were experiencing such massive weight loss?
Hi Atomic! Thank you so much for getting back to me! I definitely feel depleted. I haven’t gotten my appetite back, and I’m still breastfeeding my now 2 yr old which seems around the clock. They aren’t sure why I lost the pregnancy, because it occured before my scheduled appointment. My doctor said the pregnancy was gone, and my uterus empty. He said there wasn’t anything more for me to do, because my body did what it was suppose to. I always seem to lose weight in the beginning of all my pregnancies maybe due to morning sickness.
Gotcha. I'm very sorry to hear that although I am thankful for your sake that it was an easy natural loss. :heart:
I do not want you to lose any more weight at all and please try to hold steady where you are or even gain some back. Do whatever it takes to keep eating.
Did they do any bloodwork at all?? I think you need to add in an iron supplement, 30-60 mg (avoid the ones that have hundreds of mg in them as they are badly absorbed and make you really sick as well) daily for the next month and then reduce to 3x a week. Continue this at 3x a week until you get a BFP and then gradually wean back to the amount in a prenatal (start off taking it at the same time as the prenatal, and then gradually space doses on the iron further and further out till down to one per week, then drop it.)
I suspect your little one was nursing more because the pregnancy had suppressed milk supply a bit and he may dial it back once your supply returns to normal.
Hi Atomic! I did have bloodwork done I’d say when I was 6 weeks along, but nothing after the miscarriage. I will definitely start the iron pills asap! I hear people getting pregnant without even seeing their first cycle after miscarriage. Should I wait till I see my first cycle before trying? I know you said catch the first egg, so I'm just making sure. Thank you so much for your advice it really mean a lot!
Yes you can get pregnant that way and we do have good results for pink as well.
By "catch the first egg" you will release an egg usually before having a period bleed, so once you're feeling up to it, you can have attempts every 4 days or do OPK strips and have one attempt at pos OPK.
