Has anyone else's cycles/AF changed since your loss?

[hanni]

As the title says,

Before I got pregnant I had textbook 28 day cycles with 5 days of AF and only sometimes very mild cramping.

Since my loss my cycles (3 in total) have been between 31-36 days with a 16 day lp and monster AF.

AF arrived today and I'm in agony! I'm also passing large clots which is totally unusual for me. I'd say the pain is easily equal to the pain I experienced during my loss. Is this type of period normal in some women?

Are/were anyone else's cycles or AF different? how long did they take to get back to normal if they ever did?

Sorry for the millions of questions. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Hanni, sorry about your loss darlin
I'm on the start of my third cycle since loss and last af was totally off! As like you it had text book cycles at 28 and af was about 3-4 days.. First cycle was 34 days and last one 29-30 not sure which one to take as starting heavy spotting on day 29... Last af was 7days of very light spotting and this af is heavy today with large clots so hoping it'll be over tomorrow or following day... Sorry I can't help you much more but it may just take a little longer for your body to normalise itself best of luck

Hi BM, we tend to follow each other. Just wanted to offer another opinion, my AF definitely changed. I've had 2 losses and I went from 28 to 32 to 33.

I can't offer any real live experience yet since I haven't had a normal AF yet after MC. But my doctor warned me that my next few cycles would probably be a lot heavier than normal and might be different altogether. So it seems its probably normal what you're experiencing.

I had an mc in march. I didn't have much pain with my mc it was crazy. I did bleed heavy during that period/mc whatever you wanna call it. My second period was 32 days. I have been going off the 32 days for my may period and i'm not on cd 39 going on 40 and still no sign of AF. I'm not sure if something is wrong or if i'm pregnant but I keep getting BFN's on all tests so I have been told to wait and see if af comes in june. Wish I could be of more help.

outdoorgirl23, I definitely understand why you would keep testing. With my 1st chemical, AF was 10 days late the next go round, so it can definitely screw things up.

Hey, Yes my cycle has changed, but for the better. My cycles were usually 3 to 4 months apart and now they are about 35 days! I hope it stays this way! So sorry for your loss and I hope your cycle returns to normal.
