TTC After a Loss
I'm back and a question/poll
I quietly moved on to PgAL thinking I didn't post enough to make a big "woo-hoo announcement", and our "woo-hoo" did not end well. We lost our second at 10 weeks.
We are TTA until March--we are possibly going to Italy and Spain for my spring break (HS Teacher).
And now my first post back question:
How much did your cycle change after your loss?
After my first loss, it didn't really change at all and I had a D&E. This time it was a natural m/c.
I'm curious if the way things end (natural, d&c, d&e, etc.) matters. I'm finding that I am a "data girl"; I just want info, even if it isn't necessarily scientific. Thanks girls!

So sorry for you second loss!
It took my 43 days for AF to show up after my D&C. And that's where I'm currently at....having had another AF cycle yet.
Everybody is different though.

My cycles have been so irregular that I have no idea if or what has changed. Sorry I'm not much help.
Do you chart? That's the best way for you to know what's going on with your cycles.

I noticed your announcement post on PgAL a little while back, and then your goodbye post. I am so sorry for your loss.
So not fair!
My cycles are completely different. 29 day cycle with O on CD15 pre-m/c.
Now, on average, I O on CD31 and have a 11 day LP. It blows. I'm going to start Clomid next cycle probably if I don't get KU this cycle.
ETA: I forgot to add--it started as a natural m/c but ended up having a d&c

I am so sorry to hear about your loss...
My cycle was perfect after my loss, it was on time regular flow and 4-5 days long. (It was not that perfect before I got pregnant) It was oddly perfect afterward though.
I'm sorry about your second loss.
Before my first miscarriage my cycle was 28 days regular and it was awesome. Now I'm anywhere from 32-38 days. My O date is pushed way back too. After my CP my cycle was wonky too. Charting i think is your best bet. it helps me figure out my cycle since my days aren't anywhere near regular.

I am so sorry about your 2nd loss. There are a bunch of us who've come back from pgal - it is just heartwrenching.
My first loss was a natural m/c - I went from having anywhere from 26-34 day cycles to clockwork 28-29 day cycles, oing around cd14-16 - pretty much textbook.
I had methotrexate this time and I am still waiting for things to end, its looking like I might bleed straight thru till af so I have no idea what my cycles are going to wind up like this time around.

I'm so sorry for your losses.
My first post m/c cycle was exceedingly long. I had to have prometrium for 10 days to get it started as at about 6 weeks post m/c it still hadn't shown up. I had a natural m/c that included quite a bit of hemorrhaging and I bled for a total of about a week and a half to two weeks. The next two cycles were like they were when I was a teen - long, but like clockwork on timing. The fourth was weird as I O'ed early and had a short cycle. I'm now on my fifth and it seems to be more like the usual than last month's cycle.
I am so sorry for both of your losses! I don't have very good information to share because my RE put me on BCP's to "let my ovaries rest" before our IVF cycle.
We had a d&c at 9 weeks 3 days. I had on and off spotting for 2 weeks, started what I think was AF 3 weeks post-op. My RE started me in BCP the day I "think" started. I just finished the first pack (skipped the inactive pills) and started a new pack on Friday and started a very mild AF.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I had a natural m/c at 10 weeks in August. AF returned after 38 days, which pleasantly surprised me, considering I usually have 32 day cycles so I was impressed AF was so timely and unchanged. I was wrong. That was the only period I've had since the m/c. My cycles are completely screwed up now. I'm on CD 39 and still nothing. I hope your cycles stay as close as possible to normal and I wish you all the best TTC when the time is right. Big hugs.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my first at 8 weeks naturally, and my cycle returned almost on time about a month later, which was I know, a huge rarity. I hear from many that the longer you are pg, the longer it takes to get your period back...but don't hold me to that.
As far as my cycles after the m/c, the first was very light, and not very painful at all, which was wierd to me. After that one, my cycles became much heavier. I seem to pass more clots now than I use to (sorry for the TMI) and the pain depends on the cycle. My periods are also seeming to be a tad longer now, and I spot for a few days before they begin, which I only ever used to spot for one.
HTH.
Again, so very sorry for your loss and that you've found yourself back here. I hope though that the board continues to be a source of support. I am TTA as well, until May.
