How long after

My dr has told me w/each of mine to start counting from the first day of bleeding.  The cycle may be off a little bit...my last one the mc started on 12/23 and AF came on 1/20...29 days and I  normally have 30/31 days...but very much in the ball park.

Good luck.

Liz, I have no answer for you being I didn't have a D&C but I just wanted to say I've been thinking and praying for you!!  At least you and your husband know you are capable of getting pregnant and hopefully you will be again VERY soon!

AF arrived 5weeks 2 days after my d&c and I got my next BFP 8weeks and 5days after my M/C. Wishing you all the blessings for your next pregnancy!

I miscarried naturally at home, it took 6 weeks for my period to come back. It wasn't normal for another 2 cycles after that. It sucked - and it is so hard when you want your body to go back to normal again so you can try to conceive. I hope that your ovaries cooperate and you are back to normal soon! I have been there girl - take care of yourself!

I guess we are all different...I only bleed very lightly for 2 or 3 days and then completely stopped from my procedure.  Then a week later (4 days after totaly stopping)  AF was there...my cycles were on time from then on..so I knew it was my cycle.  Plus when I went for a check up, the Dr assured me that with some patients that happens. So I was able to start TTC that cycle, although we were not successful for several months.   

Thanks Ladies!!!

I have just about stopped bleeing (just some brown spotting now) after my D&E on friday (so 6 days now) I guess we'll just have to wait and see!!

Thanks again

Hi Liz,

I began spotting on May 12th but really started bleeding on May 13th.  I had the same question a few weeks back.  On May 29th I had a drs appointment (follow up with OB) and he told me that I could extect my period in 3-4 more weeks.  Well he was pretty dead on. I awoke this morning with some light, really light spotting, went and did my school bus run and low and behold 2 hours later I need a change of undergarments, I should have wore a pad this morning.  LOL  Ithought I would have a day of spotting, but nope.  Anyway excited that Aunt Flo has indeed arrived (so is hubby, but I think he is just glad that the *****iness is really going to buzz off for ahile now...hehehe or that he is excited that we can now officially try again).  I too had a blighted ovum and really hope that I do not have to go through it again.  I suffer from PCOS and we have been ttc for 15 years now.  My recent pregnancy was my first, I was almost giving up hope as I turn 37 this summer and was feeling that I was getting too old.  Hopefully this month things will happen and we get pregnant again right off and this time things will go off with out a hitch.  Good luck with everything next round and I will be lurking in and out (more in than out) often.

Sherry Lynn - Best of luck and thanks for the answers! here's hoping that this is your month for a HEALTHY pregnancy!!!!

*hugs*
