Hi @itsmorgannnn. Please read the threads that say read this first and introduce yourself in the newbie thread. One off posts like this are generally frowned upon, and there is a monthly questions thread.
To answer your questions, I have had 3 d&C's, two in the last year, and as on right now, my cycles are more regular than when I first started trying to conceive.
@itsmorgannnn I’m sorry for your loss. Yes we try not to create one-off threads here. We have a thread for questions and also a TTCAL (trying to conceive after loss) thread, both of which would be places to ask a question like this.
To try to answer - unfortunately everyone is different. Are you tracking your cycles closely enough to know if it’s your follicular phase or luteal phase is different? My first cycle after a D&C is usually longer (because it takes longer to ovulate) and then I usually get back to my normal, which includes some variation in cycle length. It’s normal to experience a little variation in when your O, not as typical to have more than a couple days of variation in the luteal phase.
itsmorgannnn Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately after a MC, cycles can take months to regulate back to 'normal' IF they ever get back to 'normal.' Sometimes, you regulate back to a NEW 'normal.' Also, I wouldn't call a couple of days fluctuation 'irregular.' Of course, this comes from me who can have cycles anywhere from 28 to 59 days....

Re: Trying to conceive after D&C weird cycles !
To answer your questions, I have had 3 d&C's, two in the last year, and as on right now, my cycles are more regular than when I first started trying to conceive.
I would not call a cycle fluctuation of four days "all over the place" or "irregular." That's a very normal fluctuation.
