Irregular Periods after Miscarriage

How long do irregular periods last after having a miscarriage? It’s almost been 4 months for me and my cycles are still messed up. It seems like they are getting shorter. We are trying to conceive and can never tell when I should be ovulating. Any insight?

    Hi @olivia_anderson! First, I'm sorry for your loss.
    We have a structured setup here, and discourage one-off posts like this (especially topics that contain sensitive subjects like miscarriage). I highly encourage you to introduce yourself in the newbie thread here (normally we have one every week but it looks like we forgot to start one this week, oops!) and look over the rules post here. We have daily WTO (waiting to ovulate) and TWW (two week wait) threads, as well as several weekly threads. You may be interested in the TTCAL thread here.

    @olivia_anderson i'll second what @fantasyflyte said, but also if you're struggling to make sense of your cycle after loss, there are folks here in TTGP who might be able to offer insight... but only if we get a bit more information. So please do introduce yourself in our weekly newbies thread, and then (assuming you're charting and using OPKs) drop by our chart stalk/questions thread or maybe our OPK thread. You'll also find folks who've had similar experiences in the TTCAL thread. If you aren't charting/using OPKs, that's a good place to start. Our "Ultimate TTGP Thread" pinned at the top of the board offers some very useful resources for getting started with all that.
    Also as a general online hygiene thing consider changing your SN to something that is not easily recognizable as your name.
    ETA that in general it can take a while to get back to "normal" after a MC and that "normal" may look a little different than what you expected before. Sorry for your loss.
    History
    I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
    Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
    5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
    Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
    Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
    May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
    MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
    In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
    Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
    April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
    July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
    July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
    Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
    RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
    Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
    Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
    Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
    May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
    July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal.
    Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.
    Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal.
    Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP.
    May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy.
    July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen.
    Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized.
    From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos!
    Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN.
    July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.
