  Last summer after my D&C it took a week to go from ~150 to negative. Everyone is different, though, so my experience isn't necessarily relevant to yours.

  Thanks, EllyD14!  I know that everyone differs, but your experience is very encouraging :-)  I am anxiously awaiting AF's return, and I know it won't be too long after the hcg is out of my system!  If you don't mind my asking, how long after your hcg returned to 0 did you get your period?

  About 3 more weeks.

  I didn't know what my levels were when I had my D&C last year, but for my natural in January, I went in for an ultrasound (Jan 6) a few days after I passed the majority of tissue/clots (Jan 3) and they detected no more products of conception and my hCG was down to about 120-150. I had a follow-up appt about a week and a half later (Jan 16) and my levels were down to 7. AF came 2 weeks later on Jan 31, exactly 4 weeks after I passed everything. After my D&C, I do remember it took a little longer for AF to come (5 weeks) but I was also much farther along (9 weeks compared to 5) so my starting levels were probably much higher.
  

  Me: 41, DH: 42, married 2009
  BFP #1: 12/05/2012; EDD 08/09/2013; MC 01/2013 (missed, D&C)
  BFP #2: 12/19/2013; EDD 08/25/2014; MC 01/2014 (natural)

  Thank you for sharing your experiences, ladies!  I had a natural missed m/c last year and it took 4 weeks to get my period after that episode (though baby's heartbeat had stopped about 4 weeks prior to that).  I think I'm close to my body haven gotten back to normal and it will be 4 weeks on Monday since my d&c.  Hopefully AF will follow soon after.  I just want the hope of being able to try again and the waiting game is unbearable.

  I was surprised that my OB didn't do bw but it's probably irrelevant at this point. Two weeks out and I still have a positive pg test, but my hcg was sky high when I had my mmc. It had only dipped by 100 points in the course of a week. Does a d&c make it drop faster? I sure hope so!

  Yes because you don't have to wait for your body to expel the PoC. When I had my D&C in Nov my levels went from around 30k the day of to about 2k one week later.
