Getting back on track question

StephNordenmalm · April 2012

So I have a question for you ladies that had a D&C. How long did it take for your cycles to get back to a some what normal cycle? Before my m/c I was very regular every 28 days. I waited 8 weeks for AF after my D&C and now Im on my 2nd cycle since and Im on day 34 and no AF. I thought after my first I would get back to normal.

Out of wishful thinking I took a test and got a negative result.I really didn't think I was at this point, still I didn't realize how hard it would be to see that first negative pg test. I just want my body to get back to normal its so frustrating.

Thanks for any input!

Isn't it the most frustrating thing ever! I just want to feel like I'm back in control of my body

Sorry just kinda venting there.

You may never go back to what was your previous normal. My cycles changed after each m/c and each time, they changed to something different. Go figure.

Blerg, I'm still waiting...just over 4 weeks and no AF in sight

I'm sorry your body is not getting back to normal. After my d&c, I never got back to normal. It took a round of clomid and a second loss for me to get back to normal. It really does suck, I know the feeling. (((HUGS)))

I had a laparoscopy with my D&C (for ectopic pregnancy) so not quite the same as your situation. I got AF 23 days later Indifferent

It was also the heaviest, worst AF of my life. So bad that after 10 days of filling a pad every hour or two, I was put on BCPs.

My first AF came a little over 5 weeks from my D&C. The next cycle was 32 days. Prior to my loss I was very regular. 28 or 29 day cycles, and O'd on day 14 or 15. I miss those days.

I gave birth and had a partial d&c for some leftover placenta. It took me 7 weeks. I don't think there's really a "normal". At least not at first. I hope your cycle gets back to some semblance of normal soon.

It took 4-5 weeks after my D&C for AF to arrive. The 1st cycle absolutely sucked! I had bad cramps, HEAVY bleeding, & it lasted almost 2 weeks. My next 2 cycles were 27 days long, lasting 4-5 days, heavy flow for 2 days, then tapered off.

My first cycle arrived "on time" within 5 weeks. My second cycle went crazy... I'm on Day 33 right now and if I "O" yesterday like I'm pretty sure I did, then this cycle will be about 46 days (let's hope my LP stays 14-15 days like it was). My body followed the exact same pattern coming off BC. 1st cycle was great and then I had a couple of longer cycles before my body finally regulated itself (I think with the help of drinking my Raspberry Leaf Tea). To this day my "O" can be delayed a few days if I'm not drinking it pretty regularly.

Thanks to everyone that posted. Its comforting to know that alot of women have the same issues and feelings that I do. Were so lucky to live in a time when a place like this exists for us. Could you imagine in the old days when you won't have had assess to all this information. I would have felt so alone!

Thanks Again Ladies!

I am still waiting. I had my miscarriage 4 weeks ago yesterday.

I'm still Waiting, but my Dr. told me I should expect it around the end of this month or the first few days of May... which would put me at 5-7 weeks after my D&C if his predictions are right.
