how long till my body is back to normal?

[Erin_82]

i was wondering if anyone knew if the hormones that are still in you after you have a miscarriage make it hard to lose weight, and make you tired, and get acne.

lol, it sounds so trivial to write that, when we've all just gone through such a big loss. i'm just wondering when my body will get back to normal.

i gained more then most women i think (5lbs a month and miscarried at 3months)
i've been eating healthy and exercising for 2 weeks now and i havent lost a pound, clothes still tight too. i am getting breakouts too.
and i am exhasuted everyday. that might be beacause i am still cramping and bleeding though.

I heard that your body wont go back to normal until after your first period....anyone know anything about that?

I would say 2 months but if it took you 3 months to gain the weight take 3 months to loose it :). My first AF afte the m/c was WAY wacky the past 2 have been almost normal ( some random spotting). It takes a while to heal both physically and mentally. My first m/c was the hardest on me. I hope you get to feeling better. Rest lots of fluids exercise and vitamins!

Erin,

Have patience sweetie. It takes a little longer than 2 weeks, but I was desperate at two or three weeks too :hopmad I felt like I was doing everything right and my body was saying NO! I carried my son for 6 months, so I think it took a little bit longer for me to "bounce back" but your body is going to be "out of whack" for a while with your hormones having a field day all over you (I got the acne too :cuss ). I definitely felt like things were headed in the right direction after my first cycle... but then I went and got pregnant :Sheepish: Good luck and hang in there, it will pay off soon.
