1. How long does it take to get your period back after a miscarriage?

After 4 to 6 weeks of miscarriage, menstruation begins to appear again. This is explained by the fact that after a miscarriage, the hormones in a woman's body start working to return to their pre-pregnancy state. It takes four to six weeks for a woman's body to start reaching a hormonal balance. At this time, the uterine lining is gradually restored. When the lining of the uterus has recovered to the required thickness, menstruation begins to appear again.
Women should wait at least 2-3 menstrual cycles to get pregnant again. If you get pregnant again too soon, you run the risk of having another miscarriage. After miscarriage, women need to have a reasonable rest and diet, and should only have sex when menstruation has reappeared.

2. What should I do after 2 months of not having my period?

If your period has not returned after 2 months of miscarriage, it is most likely because you are pregnant again.
The cause of this condition is that the lining of the uterus has healed but does not shed as it is continuing to grow to help the egg implant. If you have sex for about 2 weeks after a miscarriage without using birth control, it is possible to get pregnant again. Because this is the period of ovulation (ovulation) in a woman.
Another cause can also come due to abnormalities in the uterine structure such as adhesions to the uterine cavity after infection, making menstrual blood unable to exit.
In these cases, you should see a doctor to know your condition. Tests are given such as: rapid pregnancy test, uterine ultrasound ... are indicated to know if you are pregnant or having uterine problems for timely treatment.
