How long does it take for menstruation to return after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Recently, my boyfriend and I didn't use proper contraception, and now I've found out I'm pregnant. I'm planning to go to the hospital for an abortion. How long after a miscarriage is it normal to get your period?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, menstruation usually comes about a month after a miscarriage. However, menstruation cycles may fluctuate again after a miscarriage. A very small number of women may experience shorter cycles, varying cycle lengths, amenorrhea, and other menstrual disorders after a miscarriage. Menopause usually recovers completely within 22 days, so it's important to be aware of the possibility of pregnancy again. This condition typically returns to normal within 2 to 3 months, although some people may take much longer. The uterus needs about a month to fully recover after a miscarriage.
