Hi there--sorry for your loss.
There is a wonderful blog at the top of the page that addresses this question and many others so check it out when you get a chance.
As far as your question, MCs do a number on your cycle and it's fairly common to have anovulatory cycles afterwards, a delay before AF returns, and longer or shorter cycles than you had prior to your loss.
HTH!

So sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here. I hope your stay here is short and sweet. I do not chart currently, only use OPKs. I used cytotec to induce my m/c and I had my first period around 4 weeks after my m/c. I had a positive OPK today at cycle day 14, but this doesn't guarantee I'll ovulate. So far, my cycle has seemed on track still but you'll read in the blog it can do wonky things to your cycle and many women have had MUCH different experiences.
PgAL/PAL welcome, always!
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I had an anovulatory cycle after my miscarriage, and didn't get my period until 6 weeks after. I think if you have a D&C you get back to normal faster, but if you have a natural or medical MC it takes a bit longer. I'm now in my third cycle and it seems that I'm O'ing a few days later than usual, but everything else seems back to normal.
The blog *is* a great resource. Definitely check it out if you haven't!

Welcome to the board. I am sorry for you loss. I am currently 63 CD with no AF insight. I still have high betas. There is no normal after a mc.
The blog is located at the top of the board. It is TTCAL Blog. Just click on it and it will take you there!
Welcome to the board, so sorry for you loss.
Check out our TTCAL blog- in my siggy
To answer your question, I've O'd later a few times and O'd on time a few times. The times I've O'd later is (likely) because I started off with hCG in the 100s, whereas my last two losses they never got over 100. HTH
ETA: I just browsed the PPs and I didn't see this, forgive me if I missed it, but also on the blog are polls ladies TTCAL have participated in so you can see other's experiences in stats

I'm so sorry for your loss, welcome to the board. I hope your stay here is short and sweet.
I charted for a bit after my first loss and my cycles were super wacky. I think it took a few months for things to even out. I know it's frustrating though when you're charting and waiting to ovulate, especially when it's taking longer than normal.
