It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for your period to return after a miscarriage, although it can take longer to settle into a regular cycle. The length of time it takes will depend on how regular your periods were before your pregnancy. The exact timing can vary by several weeks also depending on when your hCG levels return to zero. Your body will still think it's pregnant until your hCG levels are gone.
Returning to a regular menstrual cycle after a miscarriage varies from woman to woman and age also has an effect. Many women will have their first menstrual period post-miscarriage within 4-6 weeks, however, hormones returning to normal for some women this can take several months. If you do not have a menstrual period within 4 months after a miscarriage I would recommend you see a gynecologist for investigations. Also, if you have lower abdominal pain that increases and or fever at any time after a miscarriage you should seek help immediately as you may have a pelvic infection.
