What's going on with my body
I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks pregnant in February. We have not been trying to have a baby but now we are not doing anything to prevent it. Since my miscarriage my menstrual cycle is never right. I have always started 2 days early. The past 3 months I have started 5 days early. Heavy bleeding for atleast 4 days. This past month my husband went inside me and I thought I may be pregnant due to bad cramping and not feeling right in my stomach after eating, etc. I took a HPT and it was negative. I still had some thoughts of being pregnant due to the consitent pain I was having in my stomach. I started my period yesterday which was 5 days early again which is not heavy bleeding like normal but bright red and more than spotting. My stomach is still cramping but not like it usually does with my cycles. Could I be pregnant, could something else be wrong? I have had 2 ovarian cyst in the past 2 years as well. Could it be that? Or could it just be my body going through different stages with my cycle? Any advice is welcome!
my doctor said i have low cervix, what has it with miscarriage, because i just experience one

Hi!
After a miscarriage, it is common for the cycles to be irregular or "different" for awhile.
A normal cycle can range anywhere from 21 to 31 days, so if you are within this range, your cycles are still normal even if they are different for you. If you were my patient, I would probably do an ultrasound to be certain that everything is OK with your uterus, and to be sure that your ovaries were normal too.
If the ultrasound looked fine, I would offer you the option of birth control pills to regulate your cycles for a few months. If you didn't want those, I would just ask you to monitor your cycles for awhile, and probably they will normalize given a little more time, OR you will get pregnant again!
Good luck!
