Ovulation/cycle length after miscarriage

Has anyone else found that their cycle is shorter after miscarriage? I had a MMC in may and since then I’ve had periods pretty much straight away but the cycles seem to be getting shorter! I’m desperate to fall pregnant again but I’m having a hard time predicting dates properly (partner works away so it’s a nightmare!) before I fell pregnant my cycles were about 33 days. Since my miscarriage my cycle length has been 32 (may) 31 (june) 30 (july) 29 (august) and 26 this month!! Im worried it’s because I’m 38 (nearly 39) but before I fell pregnant in March it was a very predictable 33 days cycle ever since coming off my pill 3 years ago! What’s going on?! Is it just my body trying to find a new normal after the miscarriage?! Or am I heading into peri-menopause? 😫I’m ovulating every month but obviously the dates of this keep varying too! (We are also facing male factor fertility issues,so unpredictable cycles are the last thing I could do with on top of everything 🙈😞)

This could be me right now! I'm 37 had a mmc in may and my cycles used to be average 31 days.. Since my mmc they've been 42, 26, 37, then recently 26 days again. Like you I've been reading the shortened follicular phase can be your body gearing up for menopause.. Although I'm also thinking and hoping/praying it's just our body trying to get back to a regular cycle!? It's all so worrying 😔

I'm also getting ewcm much earlier than before so presume I'm ovulating way sooner than I think. But am I actually ovulating because the tests are all over the place 🤦‍♀️

it’s all so worrying isn’t it! I’m absolutely petrified that I will never get to be a mother 😫😞 it would literally kill me. My partner won’t even consider adoption 😫

Keep trying when you can and maybe get some more professional checks.. Ives had blood tests which came back fine and waiting on my pelvic ultrasound scan results to come back. It's just a horrible waiting game. I have 1 rainbow who just turned 3 but I always wanted 2 or 3. Family is everything to me.

I had all the tests done via the hospital last year and all was fine but we are being re-referred so they will be done again now. My partner has fertility issues so that makes it doubly difficult 😞

Your body knows what to do - trust in her, she’ll do her best for you. You’re already a mumma too, the same way I am for my lost baby. There’s still hope, keep holding on mumma you can do it xx
