19 DPO, No AF, Not KU - Chart Help

weareturtles

I cannot make heads or tails of my cycle right now.
8/4 - MMC
4 doses of Misoprostol
9/12 - D&C - RPOC removed
9/18 - Ovulation detected via BBT (while benched from D&C)

Today I'm 19 DPO, my temps are for sure down below coverline and AF has not yet shown up!
My HCG was 35 today (down from 46 a week and a half ago).

Anyone have any idea what's going on?! I don't know what to do and I'm growing increasingly frustrated with my body.

Did you have a progesterone test done? That's the only way to be sure you ovulated. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe your body didn't have any lining to shed after your D&C. I swear I was getting AF about 37 days after my D&C. I literally had a drop of blood and that was it. Twenty days later when AF hadn't shown up, I had a progesterone test to show that I had recently ovulated and AF finally showed up 15 days later. That was a 72 day cycle and drove me insane. I honestly think my lining didn't build up enough for a normal AF until my 3rd AF post- MC. Either way, I'd call your Dr.

That's very insightful! I literally had the slightest spotting the past 4 days, which started when AF was supposed to arrive. I was expecting more, so I've been concerned now being at 19DPO. I had considered that my lining hadn't built up enough, but had nothing to base that on - but now that you're chiming in, I guess I really do have to consider that, especially since I had 4 doses of misoprostol and then a D&C - I may have been wiped clean!

I'm in the same boat. My doctor told me if I don't get my period by November that she'll have to give me a pill to Kickstart it. My hcg level was less than 5 over a month ago as well and it was a natural miscarriage so I think my body just hates me. Typical.

Honestly I wouldn't expect your body to ovulate 6 days after a d&c for RPOC, your hormones would still be too high from that. 

I personally didnt ovulate until until after my hcg was under 10

Agree with @DungeonTrollMel. The take away here is that the body can take a long time to get back to normal after D&C. I wouldn't expect your body to act normally for a few months, particularly if you still have HCG in your system. Some Drs will swear you can't ovulate until your HCG is under 10.

I agree with @DungeonTrollMel that I think you may just have to keep on waiting and you probably did not ovulate only a few days after the D&C. I had a D&C for RPOC as well and had my next period 35 days later...

I got my first AF almost exactly 4 weeks after my natural MC. Ultrasound confirmed all tissue had passed. While I did continue to get regular cycles, I'm fairly certain I did not ovulate the first 2 cycles after AF, possibly the third.
Even if the Dr. says you can try again immediately, sometimes your body just isn't doing what it's supposed to yet.

@weareturtles I read that sometimes the period after AF is very light almost non existing as the lining is too thin. So, might be that your spotting was AF.
