Periods after miscarriage

Did anyone else’s periods start going off track after a miscarriage? I miscarried at the end of Feb, had my first period in April and I am now 4 days late but showing negative on tests. My periods are usually bang on the date so I’m just wondering if it’s the miscarriage that’s messing up my cycles?
