I feel your pain, also 2nd period after MMC in March, 33 day cycle, 5 days late. I made an appointment for Dr next Wed. dunno if she'll suggest amything. I think its late and BFN because I'm still settling down, and also worrying lots. I made appt because I thought they might have followed me up, but they didn't and i'm worried something is wrong with me. AF lasted 2 days in March, hoping I'm building up a nice layer now for a bean to bury into someday soon Smile Smile I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has similar stories to ours, with happy endings!

I am also in the same boat as you. After EPRC on 24th March for MMC I had a normal AF 5 weeks later. Now I am currently on CD46 and no sign of AF.

What a waste of time going to the doctor today. I thought I was brave - I explained very coherently thay I'm coping with my grief, DH is brilliant but my fear is that my body isn't working right - that's messing me up now, no period, no BFP and just feeling wretched.

Also that I'm scared that I caused my miscarriage - yes, everyone says its not my fault, but was my body not good enough to sustain my pregnancy? that's the first time I said it out loud - I skirted round the subject with my DH and he went crazy!

dr said that I wouldn't want a baby that wasn't fit enough to not be able to roll with the punches - it should survive anything my body puts it through.

she's bringing me back for blood tests in a fortnight - thyroid and female hormones, she said its unlikely that ovarian cysts I had last year would have anything to do with it, but we'll see in July after blood tests.

she also told me to relax and think positive. yeah - I should have thought of that... then I was dismissed because my 10minutes were up.

I didn't even get to explain that I didn't get followed up by the nurse - the hospital said my GP surgery would send her, they said it was important and they offered TWICE for one to come to my house after ERPC and I accepted both times - but no one ever contacted me.

I'm feeling so let down.

she even asked me if I could be pregnant - maybe that's the reason for my missing AF this month, and the light bleeding in the months before!

again, did she really think I wouldn't check?

oh, and was I surprised I miscarried - did I not know that was a possibility?

I really hope it she was playing some kind of psychology trick on me - trying to redirect my worry and sadness into rage towards her to distract me and help me conceive! if it was, it worked - I'm not thinking about TTC anymore, I'm thinking about how no one actually gives a sh*t about me and my DH except me and my DH - not family, not friends, work - anyone.

sorry for the rant... I'm hating the world today!

Hi wonder if I can join this thread... I am currently waiting for 2nd period after mmc at 10 weeks. First was 24 days only (usually is 27/28) and now waiting for 2nd period I am on day 35 with no sign. Got BFN so not pregnant. Was interested to read your posts and find I am not the only one.

AF came with mighty force on day 52 Wed - heavy Wed & Thurs - light today. I felt a bit more normal since that. Just glad we'll be able to crack on with the TTC again soon :-)

Hello ladies thought I'd join you, I mc in April, had my first AF cd35, tried to conceive after that and my second AF still hasn't arrived. My usual cycle length is 31 days and today is cd35 and still no sign of AF. Did endless amounts if pregnancy tests and all are negative. This has really stressed me out. I hope I don't go over the 40 mark.. There's no chance of me being pregnant now as I ovulated cd16 according to the clear blue ov sticks.. so sad

Welcome hope. I'm on day 51 today and just waiting for an appointment to speak to the doctor as I'm getting a bit worries as I've had cramps on and off for the last couple of weeks.

I got my blood test last Wed & results yesterday - Dr is finally concerned - the female hormones were wonky FSH 7, LH 11? I hope I got those the right way round. either way they should be about the same.

she thinks I'm not ovulating at all, due to PCOS so she's sending me for a scan, then she'll start me on clomid, while I'm waiting on a referral to the fertility clinic. (fx won't need that, but as it takes so long to get seen, may as well get in the queue now).

I'm glad I persisted - I felt something wasn't right and I feel better knowing I was right.

going to try to lose weight now - might make me feel better in myself while I'm waiting Smile

if you're worried, see the dr, I didn't feel happy after the first meeting, but I'm a bit happier now Smile

MMC at start of May, on my second period now. Back to normal cycle but heavier / more painful. Want to try again, but we haven't been particularity active!
Just on the blaming yourself thing. Yes, it's awful. If only I hadn't eaten that, or carried that, or if I'd done this... I've bee there. Was I fit / healthy enough? I've been on a sugar rampage since it happened & gained 10 pounds.
I need to sort myself out to try & conceive again. And accept that we've been through a hard time & be kind to myself. That I've been through a hard time... Hugs to all x

Hi, I mc at the beginning of October. Had a regular period 5 weeks later in November. Now I’m still waiting for my next period, which currently puts me on a 51 day cycle. I did a pregnancy text xmas day & NYE & both came back negative. So frustrating not knowing what’s happening inside your body Confused

Hello! I’m currently on my 50th cycle day, after having a first AF post-D&C. I was wandering how did your situation unfolded?

Hi all I’m so glad to have found this thread I’m in the same boat. I had my MMC on 31st Jan and D&C on 10th Feb. My first period was 20th March. I’ve never really had a regular cycle but never been this late, I usually get my period within a week late but haven’t had it as yet? I’ve done 2 pregnancy tests as was TTC and have had a few symptoms, sore and heavy boobs, slight cramps but not like period cramps and back ache and also my sides hurt too, was hoping I was pregnant, however had 2 negatives, although on my second one I thought it was negative but then I thought I could see a very very faint positive but could of been my eyes playing tricks on me.
It’s so frustrating.💜

Hi Emmaavfc

I seen your post was recent and wanted to reply. I had a MM & had a d&c on 27th Feb. My 1st AF after was 35days (1week late) and I am currently late into my 2nd cycle with no sign of AF but having cramping and ovary pain on/off since 3dpo. Negative test this morning. I'm guessing this is typical. No one in the hospital warned me of this. Feeling isolated and exhausted from going between being hopeful that the neg test was wrong and the realisation that I have had another unsuccessful month. Xx

Hello,

I am also in the same boat, has a missed miscarriage in January, surgery in February and then my first period at the end of March.

I am now on on week 5 since my last period, although my cycle use to be 32 days.
Hopefully it makes an appearance soon but it’s driving me crazy!

MXX1 · 02/05/2020 08:42

Same here Kyoyo. Can I ask if any of you have had spotting before your period on and off. I did last month and this month but still no sign of AF.

Report
Kyoyo · 02/05/2020 12:06

I didn’t no, but I had a longer period than usual, normally it lasts 5 days but this time it went on for 9.
It’s driving me crazy at the mo!
