Irregular AF after MC?

chelseadobs · January 2016

So at the end of august I miss carried at about 7 weeks, my HCG levels were at zero 48 hours after we found out and the bleeding only lasted about 4 or 5 days. I then went about 70 some days without any peiord. They put me on a 10 day cycle of progesterone which did the trick, but now I'm about 2 weeks late and still nothing... pregnancy tests were nagtive. So I'm just wondering if anyone else had has this happen / has advice, etc.

Thanks!

I'm very sorry for your loss. And I'm sorry for the problems you've had since with your cycle.

How do you know that you're late? Are you temping to confirm ovulation? If not, you likely ovulated (or will ovulate) later than normal, or are having an anovulatory cycle.

I second the advice on temping - I think there are a lot of great resources on it out there. On the off chance that you need some resources, I figure I'll post a few recommendations. A book that helped me a lot was Taking Control of Your Fertility (you'll see it referred to as TCOYF on the boards) - and the Fertility Friend app has a lot of information in it too.

I'm sorry for your loss. I agree with PP's about temping. It's the best way to tell if you are late or what is your normal when it comes to ovulation.

After my first MC I had really irregular cycles. Following the last MC, my doctor put me on a BCP for 6 months to help regulate everything and allow the lady bits to recuperate. I haven't had any issue with irregularities since then. My cycles are back to their pre-MC norm.

I don't have any advice for you, but I want you to know you aren't alone. I had a mmc and d&c at 12w in late August. I bled for 2 weeks after the d&c, and there was no sign of flo for 12 weeks or so afterwards. I was put on progesterone in November because I still hadn't had a period. It worked so well I bled for 2 more weeks. My first natural cycle was 38 days later, and I'm waiting to see how long this next cycle is going to be. I haven't been temping, but from the suggestions it looks like I should try that next cycle.

Waiting sucks. I've never felt so helpless and out of control. I'm coming out of lurking to let you know that I understand where you are.

It isn't completely uncommon for anovulatory cycles that need to be ended by a cycle of Provera, to have a second anovulatory cycle follow. Call your doctor and let them know it looks like it might be happening again. I also echo the previous advice about tracking your BBTs. Long terms data charting can help identify potential issues and rule out others.

So sorry for your loss. I think everyone is different, but cycle irreguarities can be quite common after a loss. I only had 3 weeks before AF with my first loss, followed by a 12 day AF before things normalized. Then 10 weeks without AF after my second loss, and things seemed to again normalize after that. Hope you get some piece of mind soon.
