Period is late after MVA - please help me calm my nerves!

[Britannah]

Im so sorry if you are reading this as it’s likely you have suffered or are suffering a painful loss This is the first time I’ve posted on here but I’m going out of my mind and desperately hoping someone can give me hope or calm my nerves.

I sadly suffered a missed miscarriage at the end of last year. We found out at our 12wk scan that the baby had died at almost 8 wks. Due to it being so close to Christmas (and wanting the whole nightmare to be over!) I decided to have surgical management to remove it and went in for my op on 19th December, after I bleed for the time expected and then finally got a BFN 3.5wks post op again as expected. The only thing is that now being 7 weeks post op I have been told by the EPU that I should have had my period by now and despite having ‘dull cramping’ for 3 weeks which has subsequently tailed off this week there has been no sign of it. I’ve read that this can be a sign that something is seriously wrong and have convinced myself that I have Asherman’s syndrome which I know is rare but I can’t help but worry. I also know stressing can delay it but it’s a bit of a vicious circle!!!

I had my first baby at the end of 2018 and had my first post-partum period September 2019 due to breastfeeding until then but fell pregnant straight after so never gave my body a chance to regulate again!!! I appreciate how very blessed I am to have my child and never take it for granted but this has made me panic that I won’t ever be able to give him a sibling which breaks my heart....please tell me this won’t be the case - I know I’m a major worrier!!

Thank you so much for reading xxx

P.S Chances of being pregnant again are extremely low due to only have DTD 2/3 times using protection!

Sorry for your loss :(

I have an ERPC on 15th november and then got my first period in the 26th December so almost 6 weeks.

One of my friends had a 8 week loss and erpc and her period took 10 weeks to return. I think it's quite varied as to when it returns annoyingly:(

If you are having pain but no bleeding it might be best to see a gp to rule out ashermans butnits very unlikely and hopefully it's just your period being a little later to return .

@Anny27 Thank you so much for your reply and sorry you’ve gone through the same!! I have read a few stories in which people were a few weeks late and I wouldn’t say I was in pain it was just the usual period cramps so trying to be positive and hold onto that as much as possible but will be making a doctors appt. for the start of next week.

Fingers crossed it will be here before then!!
