Some women find that physically they recover within a couple of weeks, for others it takes longer, how long being dependent on the individual and whether there were complications with the miscarriage or not. Regarding the return of periods these usually return about 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage if it wasn’t a complicated one, that is, there wasn’t prolonged bleeding or need for removal of retained products of conception. However, every woman is different and for some it takes longer than six weeks for periods to return. If you are worried then ask your doctor for a check-up.
Emotionally recovery usually takes a lot longer, often months, sometimes years. It’s common to become depressed after having had a miscarriage so if symptoms suggestive of this develop – low mood, poor concentration, lack of interest and pleasure from previously pleasurable things, for example – it’s important to seek medical advice.

Thakns for your reply. It was a little complicated as it turns out so I think I will make a call to the doctor just to put my mind at rest more than anything. The first few weeks were the hardest emotinally but i've found being back at work has actually helped a lot.
am took five weeks to return after MC.It varies and it also depends how far you were you had the M/C. My doctor told me that it can take up to six weeks for AF to return after M/C. If you are worried, you can see your GP. Best wishes.
