Your Cycles after a loss

seoul09 · June 2010

Morning..

Question ladies.. After your loss how many cycles did it take for AF to get back normal (or as close to normal as possible)?

After my loss in April I got AF on 5/27 which was exactly 28 days after the vleeding stopped. My "normal" cycle is usually 27 days like clock work, which I thought it would be this month. Well low and behold today on CD25 I am bleeding. Arghhh! Should I expect it to just up and change? or maybe this is just a fluke? I know, I know.. Your cycle can be totally different after a m/c, but what has your experience been?

TIA

Mine went right back to normal.

Are you using the basal thermometer now? Good luck

I was going to get it today... LOL until I went to the restroom this morning and saw bloody murder . CTHU

I plan on picking on up on my way home.

My cycles used to be perfectly predictable (30 days, with O usually around CD 14-16). Now it's a whole new story. My first post m/c cycle was 37 days and horribly hormonal. The second one was 31 days but with O on CD21/22 with a 9 day luteal phase.

I panicked and went to my doctor on Thursday, who is arranging for me to see an RE, but also pointed out that it is still soon after the m/c and it's very likely that in a few cycles I'll return to my old schedule of things. I'm hoping she's right.

We'll see what happens this round...*sigh*

Mine took 4 cycles to get back to "normal". I was having midcycle bleeding which was not normal for me.

Some days it SUCKS to be a girl!

Mine took about 2 cycles each time to return to their typical length, but I spot before AF now, which I didn't before my losses. So I guess we'll see if mine ever really return to normal.

FWIW, my doctor said it can take up to 6 months post m/c for your cycles to regulate.

I've had mid-cycle bleeding as well, TWICE since my last AF, which was the first AF since my loss. My OB/GYN said it's totally normal for things to be off for a few months after a pregnancy or m/c.

My second AF was 3 days late, thats as far as I have gottenso far. I'm ALWAYS exactly 28 days though.

Normal cycle: 30-31 days. First after M/c: 40 days. Second: 35 days. Third? Hopefully there won't be a third b/c we got our green light to TTC again and are covering all our bases and trying based on the timing for a 30 day cycle plus a 35 day cycle- I ends up being nearly 2 weeks of trying the old fashioned way-- DH is not complaining and since I'm not temping or charting and all of that, it would be so exciting if it worked!! GL!

I also spot for a day now before AF- I wonder why this happens now only after my loss?

My first AF after m/c arrived 29 days later. I was excited because I was hoping to be back to my 30 day cycle. Well, AF number 2 didn't arrive until 38 days later-- a week after I was expecting it. I felt pretty horrible for 2 weeks waiting for it to come, hormonal, sick to my stomach, tired etc. I am not charting yet either, but keeping track of CM this time and doing the long TTC "dance" too.

best wishes and sorry for your loss.

Forgot to mention that I also had a day of spotting 2.5 weeks after my first AF after m/c, we'll see if that happens again.

well my body totally freaked out post m/c. i stopped Oing. m/c was in sept. next AF came mid Dec (annovulatory). that cycle lasted 99 days. AF only arrived after inducing it with 10 days of progesterone. the next two cycles were also annovulatory and I did 7 days of pro to induce AF. did clomid days 3-7 last cycle and i Od! and got my BFP! so hopefully my body will run better from here on out! GL!
