Hello Aunts (and Uncles)!

I had a miscarriage in April this year (I was 6 wks along). I didn't require any procedure etc, bled for about 4-5 days, no pain, no other issues. My DR told us there should be nothing to stop us trying to fall pregnant again as soon as we felt ready.

My next period came about 5 1/2 weeks later...no luck despite a very "good effort".

I am now 5 weeks post that period...and have done two home tests that came back as negative unfortunately. I am wondering if any of you have been through a similar process...and whether it can be "normal" for my menstrual cycle to be so long/messed up? How will I even know if/when I am ovulating with this weird cycle?

Prior to my first pregnancy (am blessed with a healthy happy 15 month old)my period was always VERY regular! We fell pregnant very easily that time too.

Should I be worried - or more patient?

I am a 28 yr. old and had a m/c 6 months ago. I also have had an irregular cycle. Before it was around 33 days and now I am at about 45 days. I thought i would have ovulated at around 14 days after cycle started, so I made sure we had intercourse like every day for like 12 days and then took pregnancy test and they were negative. I noticed a few weeks later that I had a side pain and saw white discharge. I went and bought a ovulation kit and sure enough I was ovulating and this was at 30 days after my period. I am now 10 days after ovulating with some signs of being pregnant, no cycle yet and very sore nipples. I want nothing more then to be pregnant and can't wait to take a test I am waiting 4 days for a more definite result.

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for your warm wishes and prayers - unfortunately I had my second miscarrige a week ago, I was 8 wks this time. My husband and I are devastated - it seems worse this time. The first time was hard - but we thought it was just bad luck...then it happened again and it is hard now not to feel like something might be wrong - or we might never be able to have another baby...it's all pretty raw right now. I hope with time I will feel strong enough to try again. I feel sad that any pregnancy from here on in will be tinged with such fear and anxiety - I also realise how truly blessed I am with my beautiful, healthy son.

Thanks for caring.

Dear Poster

Congratulations! Now you have to take it very easy; relax; get good rest; eat well and take good care of your health;

BUT

also do not neglect yur relationship;

Enjoy the good news and share it, emotionally and physically.

May you now already start to celbrate the confrimation of the bonding between you as "one".

My thoughts are with you; best wishes and keep SMILING ( it is healthy, it release certain endorphin "a chemical" in our brains, that helps to keep us healthy and balanced.

Once again: CONGRATULATIONS

Please keep us posted with the progress of the pregnancy!

God bless!

Happy news! I did a pregnancy test and it was positive! No idea when I ovulated or conceived - or how far along I am...but we are thrilled. I can't help but feel very anxious, I so hope everything will go alright this time. Please say some prayers for me and this baby!

Thanks for all your responses.

Yes, I had a similar experience a few years ago. It took almost three months after my miscarriage for me to have another period. I was told this was normal. Once my period returned though, I went back to my normal cycle.

Hi - it's me again!! I still haven't gotten a period...it has been almost 2 months now! Had a test at Dr about 3 wks ago that was nagative again. I am just wondering if anyone else out there who has had a miscarrige had this complete mess up of your cycle? Why would I get my period 5 1/2 wks after the miscarriage and then not get it for sooooo long? Is this "normal"?? Or better - is this common?

I fell pregnant 4 months after my first miscarriage and then 3 months after the second one. I now have a beautiful 2 year old son whom I love and adore. I think when you miscarry you learn to appreciate that child so much more when they finally come into the world. Don't be too worried or stressed about it. It will happen when it will. Just relax and enjoy each other for now.=)

God bless
