intro and ? for those who have suffered an early mc/ chem. pregnancy

in TTC After a Loss

Hello everyone!   Despite the newb status I am not a nest/bump newbie.  This is just an AE I have created so that I can start posting on this board.   I started out on the knot back in 05, then moved to the nest when I got married, and the bump when I got pregnant and had my first child in 09.   I am very close with several of the ladies on my local board and none of them know I am currently ttc.  So I created this name so I could post over here anonymously.  

 I'm sorry in advance if this question gets asked regularly.   Google isnt being very helpful, and I don't have anyone IRL to ask since no one knows that A) I am TTC, B) I was pregnant in Nov, or C) that I had an early m/c at 5 weeks on Dec 3rd.   My cycles are 26 days long (or were before the m/c) and we started ttc again right after the bleeding stopped on Dec 8th.  AF should be due on the 29th and usually I start spotting right at 2 days before AF starts, which would be today, so far there has been no spotting so I am trying to figure out if its normal for your cycles to go right back to where they were before a chemical pregnancy, or if I can expect AF to show up right on schedule.  I know everybody is different, but of those of you who have had early m/c's or chemical pregnancies did your body bounce right back?  or did it take a while for your first post m/c to arrive? 

Thanks, and sorry again for the newb question. =)

    I don't have experience with a chemical pregnancy, but I wanted to say that I'm sorry for your loss.  I hope you can find support here as you TTCAL.

    I know with my first m/c, my first AF was a little off (I started on CD31 instead of CD28, it lasted HEAVILY 4 days instead of 5) but then my second AF was more like 'normal.'  Hope this helps!

    I'm sorry for your loss. Everyone is different. My cycles were 28 days before my chemical. I waited a cycle per Dr orders and has a 26 day cycle. I got pregnant the next cycle, then had a D&C. Again we were told to wait a cycle. I had a 35 day cycle and then got pregnant again the next cycle. Some people go right back to normal, some don't. Good luck to you.

    My cycles are never exact - 28-33 days is normal for me.  I've had 2 c/p's, with the first I got pregnant again right away the next cycle, so AF never came (unfortunately that ended in a m/c too, but I had to have a D&C).  I had another c/p this November and the next cycle I had a 15 day LP. 

    I really think that having a c/p can delay your cycle or not, everyone is different.  Or you may get AF on time, but just not spot in the days prior.  I am sorry for your loss and good luck in your TTC journey.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't have a CP, but I did have two early losses.

    For both my m/c's, it didn't take too long for AF to arrive. However, my first cycle post m/c was different, I O'd later. I found my body regulated itself and became "normal" again after that first cycle post m/c. Some people though find that their cycle changes completely and they establish a new "normal".

    I hope AF doesn't take too long to show up for you so that you can establish what your cycles will be like.

    Do you chart? If you do, and you know you O'd, maybe consider taking a test if you run past your regular LP. If you don't chart, you might consider taking a test sometime next week.

    HTH. Good luck!

    I'm sorry for your loss.  After my c/p I ovulated about six days later than usual, and got pregnant again that cycle.  Good luck.

    Welcome to the board!  I am so sorry for your loss.  I can't really answer your question - I had a late loss, and I actually had to take Provera to start my period because I didn't ovulate the first cycle after.

    Hi and welcome!  I'm very sorry for your loss.  I had a c/p in early October, and it took me 50 days to get AF.  I usually have 35 day cycles, so that was a lot longer.  But a lot of people say that they go back to regular length cycles right away, so I guess it just depends on the person.  I was using OPKs so I knew that I didnt ovulate on time, and thus, I knew that AF would be later than usual.  If you aren't using those or charting, then there is really no way to know when to expect AF.  I guess I would say to take HPTs at least once a week to keep checks on things.  Hopefully you have some cheapies you can use.  Good luck!

    Thanks everyone! To answer your questions no, I dont chart. I would drive myself insane!   I POAS this morning with an ultra sensitive hpt (10 miu) and it was neg.  So I'm guessing that my cycle is just a little wonky this month.    I was going to wait a reg period before ttc again but my dr said it wasnt necessary .  So I guess I'm going to try and wait patiently for af to arrive =/
