miscarriage? (a question for the ladies)

I have not suffered a miscarriage, but dealt with infertility for a long time. I just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. I hope someone can answer your question for you.

Im so sorry for your loss.
I would give you body a good month to recoup. A full cycle should get your hormones back into check. Take it easy on yourself and make sure you get the emotional support you need.
*hugs*

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage in January at 8 weeks. It took 5 weeks to get a new cycle, but weight loss started a few weeks before.

hey guys, so i wasn't sure where to post this, but i guess I'm kind of looking for support so here i am.

i have been losing weight consistently since i started this journey, but about a month ago i noticed that the scale was no longer moving and i wasn't losing inches from my waist or hips any longer.. i am only 15 pounds away from my goal weight so i just assumed that it was because I'm reaching the end of the road and that the weight will just come off more slowly from here on out.

well, i found out a week ago that i was pregnant (by pregnancy test) and i had my first appointment scheduled for today to make sure. this morning i woke up and was bleeding. i lost the baby at 4 weeks, 6 days along.

my question for you fellow ladies: have any of you had a miscarriage? how is my weight loss going to change from here on out? should i not expect to lose weight for a little while?
this is just totally new for me, and its hard for me to go through alone.

anyone not wanting to post on here for everyone to see, feel welcome to message me. any thoughts would help (:

thanks guys

Sierra ~ Good evening. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I personally have not experienced a miscarriage but I have observed 2 separate miscarriages and the weight loss that came with it via 2 friends.

Case 1: 42 years old, white American professional. Was pregnant with her twins. Within her first trimester, she too experienced bleeding in the morning and the doctors confirmed to her later that day, that she had lost one of them. Long story short, she carried the healthy surviving twin to term with the deceased twin still in her womb. Her weight loss post pregnancy was faster than after she'd lost weight following her eldest's birth ~ a single child.

Case 2: 33 years old, Eurasian American. After receiving confirmation from her doctor that she was indeed pregnant, she lost her baby about 3 weeks later. Her case might be similar to yours because despite being pregnant and taking it easy, she chose to continue her workouts with her Personal Trainer. I don't rightly know what her programme was although I am aware that she was a recovering ED and a Cervical Cancer survivor. She was one of the lucky ones - the fortunate few who'd survived Cervical Cancer and successfully carried 2 single babies to term, from her frozen eggs.

Her weight loss following her miscarriage, wasn't easy. I can't say that it was because the programme didn't work; If I had to critique her, I would say she lacked the discipline and the dedication required to lose fat weight. And she had an excess of 40lb of fat before she found out she was pregnant and she hates workouts. Her Personal Trainer was her motivation.

First off, I am so sorry for your loss. Miscarriages are not easy and I feel for you. I had a miscarriage when I was 11 weeks along so I was pregnant a bit longer so I don't know if my situation will be the same as yours. However, my hormones went crazy after my miscarriage. After our "one cycle" wait that doctors recommend we started trying again so I wasn't trying to lose weight nor was I weighing myself. But when I did get pregnant and was weighed at my first appointment I realized I had gained a lot of weight since my miscarriage Keep doing what you're doing, exercising and eating right and it will all balance itself out but just know it may not happen the way you think. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

i miscarried at about 5 weeks, i think i lost excess water weight.

A miscarriage that early is referred to as a chemical pregnancy. Many women may even mistake them for a heavy and late period if they didn't take a test yet. They are very common (I had one also at 5 weeks). My period resumed as normal the following cycle.
