Period off after MC

in TTC After a Loss
I had a MC on February 10th, 3 days before my birthday :-( I was almost 7 weeks pregnant. I finally got AF on March 21st, 39 days later. I was thrilled because my husband and I could start trying again, which is what we did this month! I was on BC for 10 years and had AF every 4 weeks. Once I stopped BC my AF was 35 days.  Tuesday, 4/23 would have been 35 days since my last AF.  I took a test on Monday and got a BFN. Still no AF today (Thursday, 4/26), so I took another test this morning and still a BFN. I've had mild period cramps and my boobs have been sore this week. Not sure what to think?!?! Has anyone had a MC and have their period off track for a while? Thanks for any advice!! :-)

    Yes, after a m/c your body can take some time to get back on track.  Everyone's body is different, but AF can be wonky for a while.  I would keep taking a test every few days until AF shows up.  GL!

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    I think most women on this board will tell you that their cycles were off post-mc. It is definitley common. It's very possible that you O'd later, therefore giving you a longer cycle than you're used to. Keep testing, and if AF arrives and this happens to NOT be your BFP cycle then I highly suggest charting. It can take away some of the suspense and confusion. Good luck!

    So sorry for your loss.

    In answer to your question. Yes my cycles have been "off" since my m/c. My first period was 4 weeks after my d&c, then I got it again only 2 weeks later, then again 30 days later, then my most recent was 34 days. Before my m/c I was very regular, down to the time of day, every 30 days. So while I'm not totally all over the place now, it's still off.

    Mine have been out of wack. Like you, I was on BC for over 5 years. After my m/c my cycles became so irregular. I was usually a 28 day-er...now sometimes I'm 30...sometimes of 25...it's getting old.

    I'm glad you asked this question. I am feeling the same way. I was on BC for almost ten years. My cycles weren't regular before I got my BFP so I am sure that is the issue. Post D& C it took 44 days for AF to show up... So I am waiting and no so patiently at that.. Thinking about you!
