Periods After Miscarriage

I have never had to deal with this, but, it sounds to me like you body may be telling you something. It might be exhausted after everything it went through and just need a break. I have found, from girlfiends trying, that if you just relax and not worry too much about it, then it will happen. Your body may have some "repairing" to do before it is ready for another baby, and for the baby to be healthy. Good luck

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.I too suffered a miscarriage with my first pregnancy.What your doctor is saying is true unfortunately.It took me a good few months to regulate my periods and like you i was trying to get pregnant and getting negative test results.Everyone is different,so just bear with it.I finally got pregnant after a year and now have a beautiful 2 year old daughter and a 6 month old son,who by the way came along after only 2 months trying.Don't be discouraged and try to relax which i know is easier said than done.Good luck.

First of all most doctors tell you not to try to conceive for at least 3 months after a miscarriage. Thats to allow your body to heal and to get back to having a more regular cycle. Now with that said, it seems you have almost reached your three months. I will tell you that I have never been regular...usually have at least 45 day cycles...and so if you are getting negative test results, it appears your body just hasn't regulated again. As hard as it seems, I would wait to try conceiving until you have had at least 2 "regular" cycles.

I think it took a little while for my periods to straighten out after my miscarriage as well. I'd wait for your next cycle time and if it still hasn't started discuss your options with your gyno.
Good Luck!

Hi M.- I had a miscarriage before my first child. After finding out I had miscarried via ultrasound I had a DNC and did not get my period until 6 or 7 weeks after that- My Dr. told me it does take time for your body to get back in synch- He also said that while you can get pregnant during your fist cycle that he recommended waiting two or three cycles (after your 2nd or 3rd period post miscarriage) to give my body a chance to recover. Two cycles later we tried and got pregnant right away! Good luck.

Hi M.,
I have had 2 miscarriages in the last year and each one was the same as yours. The month immediately following was a much longer cycle and the cycle after that was irregular too. It seemed my body adjusted after each one because my periods did go back to normal.

I am sorry to hear of your loss and wish you luck in getting pregnant again.

Hey There...

I understand your frustration. My husband and I went through the same thing a few years back when we were planning for our first child. What the doctor told me as far as trying to conceive is that you have to be stress free or close to it in order to conceive. you have to take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally before your body will allow you to get pregnant. My son is 6 years old now and we also have a 11 month old daughter. Just give it time. It may actually help if you did take the meds to have your period come down. This way you are making sure that your cycles are normal and you are on point with your body so you can better track your flow and you will be able to schedule your baby making nights accordingly.

I had irregular cycles after each of my miscarriages (2). If I remember correctly it was 3 or 4 months before they were back to normal. Do you chart your cycles? Try googling "Billings Method" charting. It can be used TTC or when trying to avoid pregnancy. It will help you pinpoint when/if you ovulation even while your cycles are irregular.
