Irregular periods after D&C

Hi

Looking for some advice. I had my fourth miscarriage in June and had a D&C on 4th July.

As this was my fourth loss I had an appointment at the recurrent miscarriage clinic. I’ve had full bloods tests to confirm no underlying issues but have low vitamin D levels. The Consultant at the clinic asked me to book a blood test with my GP three weeks after my first period to check my progesterone levels.

My first period occurred about a month after my D&C and I had a blood test three weeks later, however, the GP advised that my progesterone was undetectable so it appears that ovulation had not occurred and to book again at my next period. I’ve had another period and blood test but same response as before - no ovulation. I’m also now experiencing irregular bleeding and a period every two weeks.

I just wanted to check if anyone has experienced the same and how long it took for your periods to get back to normal.

I’m 38 and have one healthy child. It’s been an incredibly stressful and upsetting two years for us so I know that this must be having an impact on my periods.

Thanks

@Eastcoaster i’m really sorry you are going through this. No advice, but you aren’t alone. I’ve had 2 MCs in the past year & having irregular periods. They seem to vary around 45 up to 70 day cycles.
Most of the time I read about people who bounce back to regular cycles, but our bodies have been through a lot, so I am hoping it’s just a matter of time

@Figtree11 Thank you so much for your reply. So sorry that you are going through this too. It’s awful.

I think I know deep down that there is isn’t an issue as such as all my bloods are normal and just need to allow my body time to get back to normal. It’s so frustrating though.

@Eastcoaster it’s really frustrating, and it’s so hard not to think the worse. As we’ve been on the receiving end of the worst with the miscarriages so it’s normal for us to jump to worst conclusion. Fingers crossed just a few more months & things will regulate
