Anyone else not get their period 3 mos after D&C?

Hi.  Haven't been on the board for a while.  Had my D&C on 5/28.  Spotted one month later -  literally one light pad.  I started tracking my cycle (via CBE) so we could start trying next month, and I noticed I didn't ovulate at all this month.  My unhelpful nurse said to wait 6 months total and go to a reproductive endocrinologist.  Pretty sure my high risk OBGYN wouldn't agree so I got an appt for next week.

My question is did any of this happen to you?  I talked to my friend (endocrinologist) who said I might need Clomid to restart my ovulation.  Any tips would be helpful.  TIA

I'm sorry that you are going through this. ?I had a miscarriage in March and did not get my period yet and it is really emotionally draining as I am anxious to try again. ?In April they discovered they did not get all of the tissue (so if you have not already checked this, have them check immediately). ?They did this by an HCG test and an ultrasound. ?I then had a repeat D&C and confirmation that everything was removed. ?I insisted that they use a hysteroscopy at the same time so that they would not miss anything again. ?

?After waiting another 6 weeks and still no period, they started doing all sorts of blood tests and everything was coming back normal. ?They then gave me Provera to jump start my period, but nothing. ?Then they moved to Clomid. ?I was somewhat monitored and they believe I ovulated, but still no period. ?A month later without Clomid I believe I ovulated again and my period should be coming any day, but I don't believe it will. ?They also suggested putting me on birth control pills, but then changed their mind. ?I should also mention that they noted my uterine lining is thin, but is slowly getting thicker.

?On Monday I am getting an SHG to look for any scarring caused by the D&Cs. ?This is called Asherman's syndrome and is supposedly rare.??Good luck and hope that all you need is Clomid to do the trick.

During my second loss, it took three months to m/c, and an additional month for AF. My HCG levels went down very slowly. After a D&C, those levels should drop, but since it has been so long, I'd definitely see a doctor about other options. I saw my doctor often, but my levels were so low, she wanted me to m/c naturally. I did not agree with her approach on either losses, so I have since changed doctors. Maybe you should check into that. I am not a great example though, because after my first period, we were thinking about trying, but I never ovulated. And now, I am on my second period, and it is abnormal. So let me know if you find any medicine ideas out about that!!! Best wishes to you!

Thank you both for your experiences.  I'm sorry you two are both having problems as well.  I'll post about what the reproductive endrocrinologist says.  We always have to be proactive.... -sigh-

Mine took 16 weeks.  Took 5 weeks for beta to come down, then had what was most likely anovluatory spotting on and off from weeks 5-12, then finally ovulated week 14, then got AF at 16 weeks.  No meds since I had labwork/ultrasound that all looked good so Ob thought it was just a matter of time.  And she was right, but I wanted to strangle her at the time since many Ob's will give Provera or Provera/Clomid.

I miscarried & had to have a D&C, which was done on 6-17-09. I still have not got my period. I have been on Provera & Estrace and still did not get a period. I have had some dull pain on the left side, but they said that was a cyst that should just dissolve and go away.  My doctor is now performing a SHG on me in 1 day just to see if there are any blockages or scar tissue. I am really nervous about the findings.
