2nd period after a miscrariage

[whitwoochantelle]

i had a missed miscarriage on the 16th of march, i went on to have a normal period 9 weeks later, i'm still awaiting my 2nd period i'm on calendar day 41 my cycle is usually 35 days long, so i'm about a week late, i have tested but getting bfn just wondering if any 1 could offer me any advise, i do have some symptoms back ache nausea heavy boobs, but think its my body toying with me. xx

I’m also in the same boat! My first AF was 6 weeks after and was pretty normal, now I’m on CD40 when I usually have cycles of 32 days. I’ve had a BFN today, but did realise I ovulated late in my cycle on CD 29, so 12 days ago. I have been taking b6 supplements to help progesterone so whether that’s lengthened the luteal phase, I’ve also got a cold which might be delaying AF.

Hi Just to say it seems AF have showed up.CD49..so it’s two days after the above post.

Finger crossed for everyone waiting and all of us TTC

Hi there


Iam on the same boat as everyone.My first Period after MMC came after 6weeks and Iam on 47th day today for my second cycle and still getting negative Pregancy tests and still no periods.Lots of slight cramping not sure if they are in my head or real it’s onesand night sweats .

When did you receive your second or when did you get positive test.

Thank you @NAR125 really appreciate you replying to me!

@unsure2021 Hi, yes after the first three very random of 33, 15 and 47 days since then it seems to be back on track around 25-27. So I had a super long one after the short one and this seems fairly common.
I’ve been using the clear blue ovulation and happened to have my bloods done which showed progesterone at the right level for ovulation so all seems back to normal. It took from MC in Dec to April to come back to what seems normal but sadly no luck in getting pregnant again as yet :-( just keep telling myself I’ve only had two “normal” cycles so keeping my fingers and toes crossed it will happen soon. Apparently it can take several months to regulate, someone I know also had a MC in July they said it also took them 4-5 months as well and they’re now expecting. Hope that helps and gives you some relief x

@unsure2021 Thank you! And hopefully you won’t need to be as patient as I had to be… 🤞🏻

[unsure2021]

@FES123 and fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏻

[unsure2021]

@FES123 thank you so much for the reply. I might need to be a bit more patient then!

Hi @unsure2021- I know the question wasn’t directed at me but I saw your message and thought I’d post in case helpful. Pleased to say that my cycles have broadly gone back to normal, with regular acupuncture (weekly or fortnightly). I used to be 26 days, ovulating on day 14. Since the MMC, mine have been 33, 60, 22 (got excited at this point…!), 14 (weird but felt like a reset in some weird way), 23 and now I’m 20 days in… For the last one and the current one, I ovulated on day 14. Hoping AF won’t come this month as we are TTC 🤞🏻

[unsure2021]

Hi @NAR125 sorry I know your post is a few months old but did your cycle return to normal? I have just had my 2nd period 18 days after my first (which was 5 weeks after). Didn't even know it was possible for them to be so short!

[NAR125]

@FES123 thanks, ours don’t sound too dissimilar in that I was a 25 day cycle, 2-4 day bleed and light before all of this. I finally got my next one after 47 days, so I had 33, 15 and 47, you essentially missed the one I got at 15 days. Otherwise we are fairly similar - regular 25/26 day cycle, light AF, miscarriage Dec and then here we are with trying to understand why we haven’t regulated yet 😭.
I have my bloods done every six months anyway and unfortunately I do have hypothyroidism so have to monitor that regularly esp as in pregnancy you need to increase dose.
I decided this month as my cycle has been so out I would pay out for the clear blue ovulation kit which monitors both estrogen and LH (had been using cheap LH ones previously) so on day 5 of cycle I got flashy 😃, hopefully that means ovulation is en route in couple of days and secondly my next cycle should be 20 odd days and fingers crossed regulating or even better it doesn’t come and we’ve been successful.
Good luck on your journey and hopefully we are all successful 🤞🏼💕

Hi ladies, especially @NAR125 and @MajaMH... First time posting on Mumsnet but I came across this forum a few weeks ago and scoured it for answers so wanted to share my experience. I am 37 and have a beautiful little 3yr old girl. My husband & I started TTC again last year. I had a very early miscarriage in late summer, and then a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks in December. Had a D&C the week before Christmas. Prior to this, my cycles were like clockwork every 26 days and not particular heavy. Post D&C, AF arrived at 33 days (mid Jan) and was pretty normal, lasting 2-3 days. After that, I waited 61 days until AF arrived yesterday! I’ve never had a period so heavy (sorry TMI). Talking to my new acupuncturist and the doctor, cycles being messed up is completely normal (although not at all helpful!). I am having blood tests done this week to check LH, FSH, thyroid, iron and Vit D just in case - so you may want to request these (phone a sympathetic doctor....) - but I would recommend acupuncture. I’d only had two sessions and AF arrived; perhaps coincidence but equally it helped to de-stress me, so it’s done no harm. Hang in there 😘

Hi, just came across this thread as I’ve also been freaking out. Had natural MC at 9 weeks in Dec, first period came at day 33, second one day 15 and now I’m still waiting for my third and it’s day 38! I was always regular with a 25 day cycle so this feels like torture as I really want to try again. I’ve also tested and got BFN so I know I’m not pregnant but would love to try and each day it doesn’t come is another day before I’ll be ovulating again 🥺 I’m 42 and worried that was my only chance, I am so glad I had a scan at 8 weeks so I do have a pic which I will cherish forever 💕 Hoping AF shows up soon but after reading others it seems it can take a long time!

Hi
Jennica
I am in the same situation as you. 41 years old had a second miscarriage at week 6. Had my first period long after I had a surgery and now waiting for my second period, currently day 35 of my cycle. My GP hasn’t asked for a follow-up and I am so frystrated with this COVID situation, nobody seems to care

[Jennicandance]

Hey, just saw this thread. I’m not sure if it’s still active but I’m freaking out a bit. I had a miscarriage on Nov 10, I thought I had my period at the end of November, but now have my second period and it’s pretty terrible. Has anyone experienced this? My Dr is sending me for an ultrasound just to make sure everything has been expelled but I’m exhausted from all the bleeding and some of the blood clots are freaking me out. My Dr didn’t seem too concerned but just looking for someone who’s had a similar experience. I’m still TTC, I also just turned 40... anybody have this experience or have any advice?

Hi everyone, I have been spending weeks searching for a forum like this. I had a miscarriage 8/9 and had 2 D&Cs (8/11 and 9/5). Got my period on 10/11 which seemed normal but now I’m about 4 days late and no sign of it. I felt like I had all the symptoms a couple weeks ago but now I feel nothing— now I wonder if it was just all in my head. I also had 2 negative tests. I know all I can do is wait but it’s so hard when I feel like I am ready to move on but my body isn’t. Anyone know how long it can take?!

[Melibelize]

Hi all,
I had a missed miscarrage at week 10. Gof my first period 4 weeks later which seemed normal.
My 2nd period has arrived when it should but it is extremely light to thd point of hardly nothing much over the last 4 days. I'm really confused as to what's happened??????? I've done a pregnancy test which was negative

[Angeleyes555]

Hey ladies...
I had a MC at 10 weeks in Sep. I had my first AF after 6 weeks. Now I'm waiting for my second AF, I am 2 days late & BFN. Usually I am a 29 day cycle. I'm really worried....

[Amy8989]

Hi guys same boat here.. D&c for Mac June 11th... period 6 weeks later... 28 days after that I had second period and now.... day 42!!!!! Nothing the first two were very light and now... nothing!! Worried about scarring doctor keeps fobbing me off... wish could afford to go private!

[Sara214]

I had a late miscarriage at 20 weeks of my pregnancy , on June 24th .
Then I had my first period after almost 6 weeks on August 14th .
But since then now I am on my 34th day of cycle and still no sign of pregnancy. In between I am sometimes getting cramps like pain in my stomach and legs.
I had done urine pregnancy test at home, 3 times all the time it came negative.
I am not sure what is the cause for my delay in period, prior to my pregnancy I use to have my period regularly 30 cycle day.

[MotherofTchotchkes]

Yep mine are heavier too. I read about it and it is normal for them to be a bit irregular and different to normal for a while. Some resources didn't say they went back to "normal" (as in your own personal normal!) But others did. Mine are heavier and further apart when I used to be totally regular. It is unhelpful!!

[Sazlvzstef]

Hi I had a silent miscarriage in June I had my first period bk end of July now on to my second is it normal for it to still be heavy I'm a little worried as I've never had heavy periods before

[MotherofTchotchkes]

Me too. I had a missed miscarriage on my 12 week scan. Heavy period about 6 weeks after my surgery. Now I am 11 days late (having been totally regular for year or so between coming off the pill and having the miscarriage). They say cycles can be disrupted for a few months following a miscarriage so i wasn't altogether surprised but chatted to doc anyway just in case.

She told me that grief and stress can cause the body not to ovulate and so it is possible to just "miss" a period. Alternatively it could be late. You always ovulate 2 weeks before the period so in a long cycle the delay is before the ovulation, not after. So it is worth continuing to "try" for those of us who would like to get pregnant again at this time. I feel like I've had pains since my period was due and I can't really understand why!

[Samia107]

I had miscarriage at 16 weeks on 31st May should of been 21 weeks but baby had passed at 16 weeks periods came 6 weeks later lasted normal 5 days now second period is 7 days late ? Done pregnancy test which is negative just don’t know what’s wrong

[Jasmine8]

I had a early miscarriage on first week of June and my first period on 25th June. My second period happened on 7th August. I have been bleeding straight for 8 days now. It's not that much heavy. Two days there was moderately heavy bleeding and rest of the days it's light bleeding with clots. I am so worried. Is it normal?
