I had a very early loss in December... Now I'm about 3 or 4 days late for first real AF after the bleeding from the loss... There's a part of me that's trying very hard to convince the rest of me that I'm actually still pg but it's normal for periods to take a while to get back to normal right?? How much time should I give it to arrive before getting a BT??
after an early (or any loss) it's completely normal for your cycle to be out of whack for the following month - actually, it can be several months before it returns to "normal"
Okay... I just didn't expect it to be this late... it's as late now than it was when I had the loss if that makes sense... I thought it would be less.
if you have an early loss, you have HCG in your system, your normal "cycle" won't start until that returns to zero - so even if you had only a low level, it has to return to zero after the loss before you can start out again kwim? it can delay your cycle by a few days, even a few weeks. it's not normal to have a HUGE delay, but it can make you even miss a cycle entirely
hope that makes sense...
Yep... So there's nothing to do but wait basically?
unfortunately yes - sorry Shades
if you genuinely believe there is a chance the pg stuck, do a HPT - but from what i've read, the line was lighter, bleeding heavy, so it's more than likely just your body recovering from the early loss. it sucks big time
You're right... It's like adding insult to injury now though because it throws off my further attempts until stuff's all back to normal.
Just an update - AF is here. Thanks for the advice.
glad (in a way) that she is here for you - at least it hasn't been a whole cycle delay for you
Yeah - I won't be thrown out too much for Feb hopefully.
Hi Shades
After my m/c in Sept 08 - my first cycle was 28 days but without ovulation; the second cycle was 40 days (4 HPTs and a dr visit declared that 'it was normal for homones to be up in the air' for a few cycles - I suppose maybe that is why some docs suggest 3 months as a 'get back to normal' period), the third cycle was 28 days but with a painful period and the 4th was a BFP. It may be worth seeing what your first few cycles have in store to see where your Hcg/hormonal levels are at. It does take the TTC/TWW stress out of the equation giving you an emotional breather if you feel you need one.

Hey i had a misscagige in early dec last year and my peiode isnt here yet so and im trying to concive again what do i do and i took a hpt and its all nomal it came up as a neg on the test so can anyone give me advice please
From what I've been told now - and I don't know how far along you were - I'd say there's nothing you can do except wait, it can understandably take a while for your hormones to go back to normal enough to have a regular cycle again. If you've done a HPT and it was negative then I think you just wait... sorry I couldn't be more help.
I had a very early loss (4w 5d) mid-Dec and my last period was nearly a week late so if you were further along I guess it could take even longer for it to return.
