First AF after D&C??

jennsadye1979 · November 2009

I know this question gets asked alot, and I apologize if it annoys anyone, but it's been 5 weeks today since my miscarriage and then D&C, and I have no symptoms at all of AF. I went away for the weekend with DH, and had massages, relaxed, it was wonderful. Part of me thought I would get it then because I was going swimming and getting a massage, so what could be worse, but still, nothing. I am so sick of this limbo. I need to move forward!!

It seems like alot of ladies here average about 4 to 6 weeks? I want to know, how long until your first AF and then, how long should I wait before I need to see a doctor is she doesn't show? I have an app. this thursday to over the results of my physical/pap smear etc., should I ask then?

Thanks a million, I am getting so worked up over this!!!!

Mine took 8 weeks and that was only after a round of Provera to bring it on. I didn't need to see my doctor, i just called them and they called in an rx for me

I'm sorry Sad That limbo is awful.

AF showed up for me at 5w2d. Hopefully she shows for you soon. I think most docs want to wait until you hit 60 days before they intervene. You're still in a "normal" timeframe (even though nothing feels normal about it).

I hope AF shows up soon. ::hugs::

It was 28 days for me. But the farther along you were, the longer it's going to take for your hCG to fall and to get AF. I think the general rule is to call your doctor if no AF after 8 weeks, but I'd call after 6 weeks.

Thanks for helping me!! I just feel so...dejected. All my momentum is gone, I was moving forward, but now I am regressing. I feel like my uterus is on strike.

I'm at 6 weeks post D&C today. I just called my doc to get an Rx of Provera. I know how you feel. I cannot wait to get this show on the road.

Mine took 29 days, which is a few days longer than my normal 25-26 day cycle. No reason to be too concerned, but go ahead and ask about it at your appointment. If I went 60 days w/o a period I would ask for drugs to make it come.
