How long is it "normal" for cycles to be disrupted for following mc?

I had a mmc and ERPC in May, then a normal AF five weeks later so I was hoping that I was back to normal. It seems not though - my cycles have always been 30-34 days, but I'm now on day 38 with absolutely no sign of AF and bfn. I also had some spotting two weeks ago, which I never normally have. Now I don't know whether that was just spotting, or possibly even my body's attempt at AF (it was really only a few spots though). Just fed up with not knowing if I could be pg but it's not showing up yet (unlikely at this stage I'm assuming), and of having no idea whether or not I've ovulated or where I'm up to in my cycle. Never thought I'd say it, but I'd love AF to arrive then at least I'd have an idea where I'm up to. I'm feeling guilty if I have a glass of wine just in case I'm pg, which I know is silly really as surely it would have resulted in a bfp by now (have always had bfps by day 35 in the past). Just feeling very fed up and like I'll never be able to get pregnant again at the moment. We were very lucky and conceived DS easily, so now I feel stupid for taking it for granted that it would be easy to give him a little brother or sister...would love to hear from others who've been in this situation, or if anyone has any practical suggestions of ways to get my cycle back on track please let me know. Feeling very low about it all.

Sorry to hear about your mc. Everyone's body is different but fwiw I had a natural mc at 11 weeks and it took 3 months for my body to have what could pass as normal periods. I bled/spotted for nearly 3 months. My "4th cycle" was clearly a period but really heavy. If you really want to know what's going on your GP might be able to do blood tests to see if you're pg?

I'm in the same situation, if it's any consolation. Had m/c at 11.5 weeks in early June & ERCP on 6/6/12.

Normal cycle 23-24 days, bled for 2 weeks after ERCP then had AF at 31 days. Started TTC on day 9 of cycle after positive OPK, then bled between CD 11-15. Thought I had AF at CD 24 but only 2 days of spotting & it's now stopped.

So I have no idea what's going on. Don't have time on my side at 40, just wish my cycles would sort themselves out.

Sure is! There's a thread over in miscarriage section where there's a few of us having the same issues with erratic cycles.

After my 1st m/c at 7 weeks (which was a molar pregnancy) my cycle kicked in & was back to normal straight away. But this time it's the opposite.

I will check out that thread...
