Hello,

After a miscarriage, it can take time for your body to fully recover. This includes resuming menstruation. Most women will have a period within four to six weeks after the loss of a pregnancy, but it may take as long as two to three months before menstruation returns to normal. For someone who's eager to begin trying to conceive again, the wait for a regular cycle can be frustrating. If you're in this situation, try to be patient with your body. It may need a little extra time to recover in order to be ready for another pregnancy. If it's been longer than a couple of months since your miscarriage and you haven't had a period yet, consider taking a home pregnancy test if you've been having sex without using birth control since your miscarriage.

It's possible to become pregnant immediately after a miscarriage and before you have a period. Some women do not experience any delay in the return of normal menstrual cycles, and thus , ovulation may occur as early as two weeks after a miscarriage.

See your doctor if you have severe pain in your belly or back, fever, chill, foul smelling discharge and yellow or green discharge to rule out infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
