Periods different after m/c?

Hi girls - did anyone notice changes with their cycle after a m/c? I understand your body needs time to adjust but I had a natural m/c at 7 weeks 3+ months ago. Without fail I would always get very sore boobs the week before and now nothing happens to them. now I have either very light or heavy periods and my luteal phase is 10days and not 12 like it was when I got pregnant. I don't want to be neurotic but always so many questions which don't exactly warrant a trip to the doc! I just don't understand why things would have changed....

Mine changed also after MC at 9weeks. MY LP was 6 days to begin with and I didn't get a proper period until 3 months after the MC.

KT, did your periods then become normal again? My miscarriage was at the end of Aug (at 9wks), what seemed like a very, very mild period about 2 weeks later and nothing since. Beginning to get a bit concerned and booked a dr's appt.

I've just had my first period after a mc at 7 weeks. Had luteal phase of only 7 days so hoping that things will return to "normal" again soon.

Pudding I read that you have to have a clear 20 days without bleeding for it to count as a cyle. If you bleed within that time (which you did) it is still part of the miscarriage as there was prob still some tissue left that the body is shedding. Then you have to start the count again. So I think you're still in the bounds of normality. More info here
