Second period after miscarriage very late - did this happen to anyone else?
Hi everyone,
I'm just looking to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. Before my miscarriage, my cycles were very regular - about 30 days long, only ever varying by a day either side. After my miscarriage, my first period came exactly 30 days later and seemed pretty normal.
However, now I’m on cycle day 42 and there’s still no sign of my second period. I’ve never had a cycle this long before, and it’s thrown me off.
For some additional context - I did have complications after my miscarriage including RPOC and an infection. I also underwent both a D&C and took misoprostal tablets. So part of me is wondering if my body is just still recovering from all of that.
This cycle I used the Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Predictor Kit as we’re trying to conceive again and got a static smiley on CD15. I also strongly felt my usual ovulation symptoms around that time, but I’m not tracking basal body temperature, so I know I can’t confirm ovulation for sure.
Has anyone else had a similar pattern - a fairly normal first period after miscarriage, followed by a second one that’s significantly delayed? Especially after complications like RPOC or infection? I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through something similar. It helps to feel less alone in all of this.
Thanks so much 💛
