Confused about next period.

4 Replies

Hello to all you lovely ladies. Hope your all ok. I am slightly confused about my period which should be due soon. And am having some tell tale signs but not all. And I seem suddenly very bloated? Which I'm confused about. I'm a bit worried my recent miscarriage has completly messed with my cycles can that happen? Sorry to be moaning again. Lots of love. X

Hi Piglet,

After my miscarriages my cycle was disrupted with my periods 1 or 2 weeks later than expected for a few months before going back to my usual pattern. IVF/ICSI can also disrupt your cycle, I'm still waiting for mine but am seeing the consultant on Friday hopefully he can give me something to start a bleed so we can start our second round.

Hope you get your period soon and everything settled down.

Hi,

It can take a few cycles after a miscarriage for things to get back to "normal". Ever since ttc it feels no cycle has been "normal" even now they've put me back on pill prior to treatment for egg donor IVF I don't appear to be having a withdrawal bleed. I totally understand the feeling confused.

Hey hun

My period did actually come pretty much on time (from the cycle prior to starting down regs etc) but then I didn't have to inject all the stims because I had a donor egg. So I think it is common after all the stims, egg collection etc for it to delay yr periods. Try not to worry. If yr having symptoms yr body is probably getting ready for a bleed. Just to say my first period was pretty heavy after the miscarriage. But then I do suffer with them anyway because of the endometriosis / adenomyosis.

If I want my next transfer to be early march I have to get my period on either Fri, Sat, or Sunday this week (Sunday is due date) So as you can imagine I'm like come on period don't be late! It probably won't increase the timings that much if I'm late but I just want to crack on with it. I'm 43 in September! Yikes!

hope it starts soon and I hope you're feeling a bit stronger now. Xx

Hi Piglet

I am waiting for my period to start after my ectopic pregnancy 6 weeks ago and I have had that period feeling on and off for a couple of weeks. My acupuncture doctor said that my first period won't be a proper period. It might take a couple of cycles for everything to get back to normal. It will happen in the meantime we just have to wait. Hope that helps. Tasha x
