Time to introduce myself here

Hi! I've been lurking around here for a while and have participated on some of the other boards, mostly BOTB and TTC and I wanted to say hi over here as well. It's been a while since my loss but I'm just now getting around to being okay with it and thinking about trying again.
I'm 24 and have always known that I wanted to have babies young. I have a stable, thriving career and DH and I just bought our first home. Well, I got a BFP on 3/26 and was ecstatic. We weren't trying but we weren't being careful so it was a little unexpected. I told close family and my best friend and decided to wait until after my first u/s to tell everyone else. On 4/2 I had a m/c. I was 6 weeks along. Also, this all happened less than a month before mine and DH's wedding.
It's been really difficult. Doctor did an u/s because I went in after a little bleeding and we were able to see the little sac, no heartbeat or anything. I actually miscarried after the appt, but they were able to tell me that it was going to happen and I still have the u/s in my home office. Don't know what to do with it, can't take it down but can't stand looking at it every day.
The support from this group is appreciated. I have learned a lot and am starting to feel better about trying again.
One question: my cycle is totally different than before m/c. I was a little irregular but usually between 28-35 day cycles. Now, I'm having exactly 28 day cycles every single month. Not complaining, it's pretty nice, but not sure if anyone else has experienced such a big change in their cycle after a loss.

Re: Time to introduce myself here
have you read the blog? If not, there is a ton of really useful information you can find there.
As for your cycles, it's not unheard of for our cycles to change after a loss.

I'm sorry for your loss, welcome to the board.
I've always had long, irregular cycles, but after my one successful pregnancy my cycles were 33 days, which I was thrilled about. After my first miscarriage though, my cycles got wonky again, so who knows. I hope this is your new normal!

My period was back to normal after our first loss, but after our second loss my periods have become heavier, longer, and more painful. I sure hope things get back to normal soon.
