i had to wait 91 days for my first AF after my D&C. i was like you beside myself with worry. almost as bad as the miscarriage itself wondering each day "is it here" "where is it" "what if i am damaged in some way?"
my second came on time, but i have heard of a quite few ladies here on BB who's cycles have been all over the place for up to 6 months after a miscarriage.
do go to the doc's and get checked out, if only for your sanity's sake. the major cause of a late AF is a delay in ovulation, which can be caused by stress, travel, disrupted sleep, etc.
so i know its hard and i do feel silly saying it, but try not to panic.
i started by takeing charge of the things i could control eating more fruit, playing with my kids more, i started pilarties (?sp) with a friend, i got a few books from the library all to try and distract myself. it didn't work 100% i still have trouble sleeping sometimes, but on the whole i am much better.
TTC is a rollacoster, it is "normal" for couples to be trying for up to 12 months and since you only miscarried in sept i'd say you have a while to wait B4 you need get too concerned. the baby i lost was conceived after 10 months and it has been only 5 months since my D&C. time is ticking away but in the whole scheme of things its not that long
i wish you all the best, and pray you get a BFP in the new year.
come on 2009 !!
Just wanted to say sorry for your loss. I hope the future brings you that precious little baby that you so desire. My cycles were all over the place post my previous miscarriages, sometimes this is because if you miscarry naturally (no D&C) it takes a while for the pregnancy hormone to reduce back down to zero and this can also hold off ovulation and your next period. I am glad you are going to the doctors tomorrow they will be able to do a blood test and check your hormone levels- if your progesterone level is low then your period should not be far away. A blood test should help to give you a much better idea of what is going on for you.
In the meantime give your little girl and your DH a big hug and be kind to yourself. I am sure 2009 will bring you what you desire.
