Periods all over the place after miscarriage - driving me nuts

Hi all.

im so FED up of my periods. I had my first miscarriage soon after I got married, but sadly lost the pregnancy at 7 weeks. Then took about 4-5 months for my periods to get back on track, then I conceived by daughter, which was wonderful. ❤️

then, I started trying again when she was 18 months, fell pregnant straight away, lost that pregnancy at 6 weeks. Fell pregnant again the month after that, due to having a severe sickness bug and lost that too. it’s been pretty hard.

in that time I’ve had a full MOT scan and the docs have told me I’m good to go and everything is fine. They say I’ve been unlucky and nothing wrong with me.

but I’ve been trying 5 months now and nothing. And each month, my periods are all over the place. First month, 28 days (which is what it always used to be.) then 29 days, then 29 days, then 31 days, now 30 days. I’m so baffled. I ovulate every month, around day 14 (although was day 17 last month)

I know it’s only a few days but it’s so hard as I’ve brought pregnancy tests thinking I am as I’m ‘late’ and I’m not. There really is nothing more heartbreaking. I’m so sad.

do you think this is normal? Would love to hear some stories of ladies in a similar situation, I feel so alone and angry at my body.

xx

@Mumtum14 ohh I’m sorry about your losses ! ☹️
and by the way , your periods sounds 100% normal , very very normal ! Few days difference if absolutely nothing to worry about ! My periods last between 27-32 days , it Varys by few days each month and it’s completely normal ! It can be affected by stress illness ect, don’t worry at all ! If it starts being 10 days late then that’s worrying but 1-3 days is nothing xxx maybe you can save your pregnancy test by waiting till day 31 which has being your longest one to be sure you not testing early ?

@Mumtum14 for healthy couple it’s normally average 1 Year to get pregnant . I see you have been extremely lucky to fall pregnant so fast , you should consider yourself very lucky , but now that it takes longer , which is normal ofcourse , for you it may seem so unusual because you have been so lucky previously , but to me 5 months is nothing , it takes me over 1 year to get pregnant every time 😩

@ShareLove hello there! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me. I really appreciate your kind words and you are absolutely right. I just have to be patient and yes you are right, five months isn’t very long at all. I think I just need to stop worrying.
