Luteal phase

in TTC After a Loss
I'm 10DPO in my first cycle following a d&e. I was assuming that once I ovulated, I'd know exactly how soon AF would come. But my bbt chart is going lower where it normally peaks, so I thought I'd look up if the luteal phase (which is normally constant) can be different after a miscarriage. I found out it can be shorter or longer, so now I'm back to having no idea when AF will come. Argh. Maybe it will skip the peak entirely and just drop from here. Wouldn't that be nice?

Anyone here run into this problem?  And if so, was it very much longer?  And did it return to normal on the next cycle?  I know that won't answer what mine will do, but I'm curious. I'm hoping it doesn't usually vary by much.

    I'm on my third period since my miscarriage (mine was natural and not surgery) but I know they've been a bit off.  (Heavier, during weird things, my temps going up and down every day and not showing any clear pattern.)  I did notice this past month my temps seemed to be nice and clear and normal.  I also had a longer LP than normal (which I guess is better than shorter when trying for pregnancy, right?). 

    I am not sure how true this is but I've heard anytime your body goes through a major hormonal change (miscarriage, childbirth, going off the Pill, etc) your cycles can be different than they were.

    I normally have a 26 day cycle, but I had a 31 day cycle after I had my IUD removed, so that makes sense. I wasn't temping then, though, so I don't know if my luteal phase was altered. You're right about longer being better, so I guess I shouldn't hope it's short just so I get my period soon. I was thinking it would just be off for this month, but maybe it won't be.

    I'm such a planner, so it drives me nuts that there's no timeline for this. It's been 6 weeks since I found out I was going to miscarry and I'm tired of all the waiting.
