When to expect AF

I had a D&C on october 26th, 2011.  I haven't had my first period yet, but my doctor said that we could start trying again.  It will have been 4 weeks since my D&C as of tomorrow and I still haven't seen AF!  I am so nervous that we will never be able to concieve again!

    I would call your doctor to be sure.  From what I hear, it can take a few weeks after the D&C for your hcg levels to drop and after that it can take 4-6 weeks for AF to show up.

    On average it should take 4-6 weeks from the day of your D&C. But that is average so it could take much longer. If you get to 8 weeks with no AF then I'd call your doctor. I hope she shows up soon!

    4-6 weeks is the norm. I had a d&c 10/21 and AF is nowhere to be found.

    After this d&c, AF arrived 5 weeks and 3 days later. FX she shows up sooner rather than later for you.

    She finally came on monday!  I am so releaved, but I am so sad all atthe same time!  Even though I wanted it to come I secretly didn't want it to come so that I could be pregnant!
