Is it normal to get a menstrual cycle 4 weeks after a miscarriage?

[dolphin2342]

I am 24 and had a miscarriage on august 24 and I bleed for 10 days straight. I got my cycle on Friday sept 26 and it is coming down heavy is it normal? Also I kept spotting between days and sometimes I feel lightheaded. This is my first miscarriage I have never been pregnant before and a lot of simptoms freak me out. Before i had the miscarriage I did not get any blood clog now I do, is that normal?

it is very normal to have your period again 4 weeks later.  sometimes our bodies jump right back on track.  with my first MC, i did not get my period til 7 weeks later but with my 2nd, i got it 2 weeks later.  our bodies know what they are doing.

sorry for your loss, but do not give up hope, it will happen soon.

I bled for 6 days during m/c, then 4 weeks on the dot I got my period.  It was slightly heavier then normal, but not obnoxious.  After first period, O'd on time (verified by OPK).  I wasn't really expecting this as I've heard so many horror stories.  Like above, everybody is different.  I would think that if you continue to have concerns you should go see your doctor, or at least call and talk to the nurse.

Hello, first I want to say so sorry for our loss.
I am not in the medical field, but I can tell you what has happened to me...I have two daughters (age 4 and 2y11m) and my third pregnancy ended in miscarriage on Aug 6 (at 15 weeks gestation), bled for about 30 days, heavy to light and then finally spotting. I believe that I started another cycle 35 days after the m/c as the bleeding suddenly became heaver, but not my normal menstrual bleeding, and I just got confirmation that I have ovulated this cycle (via OPK's and Fertility Friend). I did continue to spot after my 'period' should have ended... so yes it is possible to get a menstrual cycle a month after a m/c.
I hope this helped you a little, remember that every woman, every pregnancy and every miscarriage is going to be different, also remember that a future pregnancy or baby will never replace what you have lost. Hang in there and, while I don't know your plans for the future, let your body heal, let yourself grieve as much as you need to, before you try to get pregnant again... ((((HUGS))))
