When does AF arrive after mc?

Ladies,

I'm sure I Ov around June 17, as my kit had a faint line that day and it disappeared, so something happened. However, my AF did not come. SMH. How long does it take for your AF to arrive after a miscarriage?

My OB told me 4-8 weeks. Also, OPK's can be slightly unreliable after a m/c because of the hormonal changes caused by pregnancy (at least that's what my OPK directions say... that reliability might be affected by recent pregnancy). Did you have ovulation symptoms, or just the faint OPK line? If you truly did O on the 17th (or 24-48 hrs from the positive OPK), then I would guess AF would be arriving soon. Be prepared for that first AF to be kinda wacky... mine lasted nine days, and started super light then got super heavy.

If you did not get a positive OPK then it could have just been leftover HCG in your system or hormonal changes. AF usually arrives between 4-8 weeks after a M/C but it can be shorter/longer depending on your body. ((HUGS)) I know it's frustrating.

Whenever it wants to.

Mine to 5 weeks to reappear after my mc. But I agree with the other ladies about the range of time that AF will arrive.

Mine just showed up Monday, so it took about 4 weeks for me. I started taking OPK's last week and they were coming up positive (digitals with the smiley face) every day. I obviously wasn't ovulating 4 days in a row so I don't really think you can trust OPK's too much right after a loss. .

Thanks, I didn't think of the HCG surge still in my system. I'm six weeks in. It seems longer, so I got two more weeks.

Thanks Ladies. I'm looking forward to getting pregnant and having a healthy baby. :-) Putting it out there positively. Claiming it.

I have, what I guess is my two month dr. appt in two weeks. I guess that's why he said we could start trying then, even though we are trying not to.

Let's see my dr. says then, hopefully AF doesn't come at that exact time. :-0. :-).

Thanks ladies, you have been such a support. I don't think I would have gotten to this point, so quickly. Thanks and God bless every one on this site.

Af showed 3 days late for me but I wasn't expecting it to show on time. I hope that AF comes for you soon so that you can get back to TTC. HUGS!!

Mine took 5 weeks

Mine took 6 weeks (which is pretty common I think) but anything between 4-8 is pretty typical.

I got a smiley face on my OV kit just now. YEAH!!!!

My DH and SS are off on a business trip in the morning and we won't be together for another two weeks. He has a day here and a day there stop off back home.

But, I'm taking my dr's orders and starting after my visit in two weeks and taking this time to be with me as well. I need to my space right now, so I'll have it.

I'm hoping AF show next! YEAH!!!!!!!
