Late period after miscarriage and negative tests

Hi everyone, I had a normal period in July after a miscarriage in June, but I still haven't gotten my period for August and my pregnancy tests are negative. Has anyone else gone through this? How long did it take for your cycle to return to normal? How long did it take for you to conceive again?

Your period can be slightly off after miscarriage and it’ll also depend how far along you were.

I had a miscarriage at 6.5 weeks (March 2023) and I ended up getting pregnant again in May 2023.

I know in the UK your doctor won’t class you as late on your period until 2 weeks past your predicted period and only at that point will they send you for bloods x

I miscarried at 8 weeks in June. I am on my second cycle since. My periods have been different since the miscarriage. Lighter, and this second one has not been regular at all. The BBT is all over the place, so are my ovulation strips. 🥺 I hear it’s normal not to be normal after. Plus other factors like stress and grief can throw things off. It’s possible your body is just being slow to reset.

How long do you go with no movement to get checked

I’ve been told if I’ve got reduced movements to go in but they never say how long they have to be reduced for

I couldn’t make it there the other day and the next day it went back to normal but he’s got a tendency to go a day without moving at all and then going crazy the next day

So worried I won’t have enough sleep for pushing

I slept for 3 hours at home the night before my induction purely because I was so anxious. They was delayed all day so I wasn’t allowed in until late last night. I had finished the pessary + all my monitoring by 2am, woke up with cramps at 4am then woken up for my observations at 6am. So barely slept for 2 nights in a row now. Everyone keeps saying I need to get as much energy as I can for birth but it’s pretty impossible when I’m in pain very close together & in a room full of people. I’m so worried I will be too tired and won’t be able to do this😩

Belly pouch

After having a c-section I’ve been left with an over hanging pouch which I find disgusting and is making me feel really depressed. Does this go or does it stay? If so any tips to get rid? Used a belly band but no difference. 😭😭

Day to day on maternity

Genuinely interested in what other mum's days look like while on maternity leave. I spend some time cleaning, laundry, doing bottles steralising etc. I break the day up with preparing lunch, maybe a walk but I do spend a lot of time at home with the TV on sometimes it just goes on to the screensaver because I get bored. Sometimes when baby is having a bad day and we're both tired I have put on sensory baby videos or animated book stories like the hungry caterpillar on YouTube on the TV for baby. It is a rare occasion of course but wondering how your days look. What does baby do all day and what do you do? I think it's easy to start questioning how you are doing things when life can be quite isolating at this stage.

Newborn and toddler

If you have a toddler and soon to give birth to a baby.....

I'm worried that my toddler will feel less important or like the baby is getting the attention etc.

I want to make sure she feels Included as much as possible and not like she's being replaced.

I think she will be an amazing big sister. But thinking what can I do to make sure she never questions my love for her....

Are you worried about the adjustment period 2.

Am I goin crazy or do I see a really really faded line??

Ttc for two years but whatever way I hold it I see like a shadow of a line.
