What was your cycle like after MC?

[Llondbol]

Really curious about what people's cycles were like after MC....Longer? Shorter? Late? Early? Longer or shorter luteal phase? No different from before?

I'm currently 13dpo and I've been cramping for 4 days but no sign of AF. Before my MC carriage my luteal phase was always 11 days - I'd have a little cramping on day 10 then come on like clockwork.

Had a D&C 31 January and started tracking BBT as soon as I got my negative test two weeks later. Ovulated 15 February (cd16) and TTC straight away so I'm obviously getting my hopes up it's a new pregnancy!

Hi..I had my miscarriage on 31 Jan 5 week plus and period was last for 6 days. I had my 1st period after miscarriage on 23 February and last long for 3 days. Again I had period on 11 March which is within 17 days. Would you please advice on this. I am confuse on my cycle.

I've attached my chart so far this month. We aren't waiting for af either. I started tempting while I was still bleeding just to be curious and see what was happening really.

I stopped bleeding and did a hpk, as you can see they were totally negative. Started with OPK's just on the off chance and they were really light which I thought might have been residual HCG but then got a good positive and my temps seemed to confirm this.

What does everyone think...much chance?

@Niva1410 I haven't had my first af yet so not sure. It could just be your body settling down. Did you get a negative hpk yet? Sorry for your loss! Xxx

Sorry forgot to add images.

Hi ladies, hope everyone is keeping well after everything we've all been through.

@Funkyemzie I don't really know my ch about BBT tracking I'm afraid but am I right in thinking that it stays high either until you have your period or a baby? In which case it may be too early to test, those Clear and Simple tests have been good for me but they don't always give an early positive so you're still in.

I'm still waiting for AF too (8 weeks since first day of bleeding - only had light spotting and still faint positives on test so EPU are doing bloods comparison to make sure it's still going down). I use Ovia to track my cycle but I have no clue whether or not I've ovulated yet. This waiting game is doing my head in but when (if?) AF arrived I will never have been happier to see her so I know what's going on. Cycles before we're around 30 days so it will be interesting to see if they go back straight away or not.

I MC in January and my period arrived 5 days ago! X

Now a define period. Exactly 5 weeks after mc. Onwards and upwards.

Finally got the start of AF. A few days later than a normal cycle would have been. So relieved to be on a new cycle so I can start to move on. Also, painful cramps but by chance it happens to me my day off work today so I'm off to lie down with painkillers and a hot water bottle.

[Funkyemzie]

@Hidcat those negatives are what I took to confirm to the hospital that it's all clear and my tests are completely negative so we can start again. I'm going to wait until 12dpo to take a test if it's negative again then we'll just wait for af.

How are you today? Can I ask, have you gone back to work? X

[HidCat]

@Funkyemzie yes I went back in today. Still a bit down but felt better getting focussed on work. EPU confirmed my HCG is 50 so going back next Wednesday for the follow up. I've attached the tests I did FRER was FMU yesterday and cheapie was FMU this morning. Going to keep using the cheapies through the week until I get the blood results next week though. Gives me a sense of reassurance if nothing else. Had a big dollop of yellow mucus this morning - never had that before and can't figure out why it happened! Back to EWCM now though. Very weird.

Sorry I got confused by the tests. Are you feeling good for this month or too early to say?

[Funkyemzie]

I think it's too early to say tbh, had shooting pains across my boobs but never had that last time, also having twinges low down like muscle ache is the best way to describe it but could be anything really.

Aww I really really hope it's a new pregnancy. Are you going to test daily now? Xxx

[HidCat]

@Funkyemzie I think so yes. Seems to keep me from going bat-shit-crazy lol.

[Funkyemzie]

@Hidcat how many dpo are you or are you not sure? I think work has been a great distraction. X

[HidCat]

@Funkyemzie I'm really not sure. I thought I had ovulation pains last week (I've always had them) which would make me around 7/8 dpo, but with hcg being at 50 on Tuesday it may have been normal cramps. I think it's all in that window where my hcg may have dropped low enough for ovulation but also may have just been a little too high. Such a confusing time!

[Funkyemzie]

@Hidcat how are you getting on with the testing, any progress? X

[HidCat]

Vvv faint line this morning so calling it negative. Feel reassured now that whether the line gets darker or AF shows up, I'll know what's going on.

How about you @Funkyemzie? Have you tested yet.
