If you have had a D and C before...

This is my first D and C and I am just trying to get an idea of when I might have a period. It has been 3 and a half weeks sinces the procedure. Should it come when my period normally would?

    When I had my first d&c I got my first AF exactly 4 weeks later. I've been lucky that my body has always been like clock work every 4 weeks give or take a day. From different stories I've read about other women going through this, there have been a lot of women who didn't get their AF for longer than that though. I would say it might depend on how long your cycles were before getting pregnant and how regular you were before. I guess my body treated the d&c as if it were a period since I immediately went back to normal. I'm hoping this time is the same. I don't think I would worry about the length of time until it hits longer than 6 weeks, I would probably ask my doctor after that.

    Thanks for sharing. My cycles have always been pretty regular so hopefully I will have a period soon.

    I hope so for you too. I was afraid it would never come back or take forever. I actually googled it and then it showed up the next day after I googled. lol

    I don't think I have ever been happy to have a period before then.

    I had my D&C on 9/21, and I still do not have AF yet :( I was always regular 28 days never a day late. So I'm quite puzzled.. when I went for a check up on Oct 15, the Dr said he could feel me ovulating. (I didn't know they could feel that?lol) he said to expect a period in 2 weeks..  I'm still waiting UGH!!!

    I hope yours comes sooner, it's such a tough wait!!

    After my last d&c Af came 30 days later. I think taking up to 6 weeks is "normal" though.

    4 Losses (2003, 2008, Apr 2012, & Oct 2012)
    All RPL and IF testing with multiple REs = normal

    5 IUIs = BFN

    All AL are welcome

    I recently had my 3rd d&c.  At around 28 days after I had a week of spotting but I haven't had a full blown period yet. 

     I don't remember how it was with first two.
