Late period after MMC.

[Miracle43]

After finally having our first IVF BFP following a DE FET it ended in a MMC.

I had a managed miscarriage at home 7th May followed by surgery for retained tissue 31st May.

I had a period 22nd June so hoped things were starting to get back to normal.

I’m now on day 36 and no sign of a period 🥺.

I have been monitoring for ovulation, I had a positve OPK on day 19 but no increase in bbt, so guess I haven’t ovulated.

Anyone else experience a delayed second period?

Starting to get worried.

So sorry for your loss. I've had 2 chemical pregnancies 1 early loss at 7 weeks and later loss at 20 weeks. With any losses it never delayed my period even after my later loss I had a period 5 and a half weeks after birthing Amelia. In my case I found I was more fertile after miscarriages . It took us 7 years and 3 endo surgeries to have our first daughter Francesca. After her I was able to conceive but had a few losses to get Francesca a sibling . After the third loss in a row I conceived my daughter Eliza who is 5 months old a month after the last miscarriage.I had been trying since Francesca was 1 year old but didn't get "lucky" until Francesca was 2 years old exactly with Eliza. As you are tracking ovulation is there a chance you could be pregnant again? I'd take a test. 🤞 Apologies if that is at all insensitive. Xx

Thank you Jess for your reply. I’m so sorry about your losses.

I hope you are ok and your little ones are doing well.

Yes, I started tracking ovulation from my bleed and had a positive opk, I also track my bbt which hasn’t risen. So I suspect I suspect I tried to ovulated but didn’t.

It’s 5 weeks since my bleed.

I have tested just incase … it was negative.

I’ve previously had surgery and a mva for mmc with my periods arriving 4 weeks later. I’ve also had a couple chemical pregnancies.

Hi Miracle. So sorry to hear of the loss of your little one, and I hope you have plenty of support just now. Unfortunately, it can take up to 3 cycles for your period to return to what is normal for you. Fingers crossed it starts sooner. Diane

Thank you Diane. I’ve had surgery and mva for previous mmcs my periods were not effected.

So I hoped that this would be the same.

Hi. Recovery time can vary, do hang on in there, hopefully all will be OK. Should it go over 3 months then speak to clinic/GP. Diane

Thanks Diane, appreciate your advice. Hopefully it will arrive soon. I had planned on our last FET next month 😔 x
