POAS question

in TTC After a Loss
Hi all! I'm new here and have what might seem like a silly question. I miscarried just over 6 weeks ago and my period has still not returned. My husband and I have not used birth control since we resumed sex after the miscarriage. My question is this: how often would you take a pregnancy test? I tend to be a POAS-aholic, but I can't really afford to. I'm living overseas right now so I'm not able to buy the really cheap tests in bulk, otherwise I'd be happy to test more often. I just feel like mentally I'm going crazy... Every day that my period doesn't come I'm hopeful that I am pregnant... Even though I know that I tested negative the day before.

    I would say once a week until AF comes. Or go somewhere and get a blood test done.

    How far along were you? It took 10 weeks after my D&C to get my first real period, but my pregnancy was 13 weeks so that could be the reason. I've heard that 8 weeks is pretty normal no matter how far along you were, so I'd give it another 2 weeks.

    I was 18.5 weeks when I had my miscarriage and my first AF comes after 44 days. My OB said btwn 6-8 weeks so I wouldn't drive yourself too crazy just yet

    That is good to know. I was only just over 6 weeks when I miscarried. Ugh, I wish the doctor I saw hadn't made it sound like it almost always comes back by 4-6 weeks. Like I said in my first post, I'm overseas for the summer so I don't have a regular doctor or OBGYN here to answer all of my question.
