    AF after D&C- when should you get it?

    Well had D&C 25days ago for miscarriage- and now have started spotting. We did start TTC straight away but now am spotting, is this too soon for AF to come, I thought it would take longer?

    Any advice appreciated.

    Hmm, I spotted for 1 1/2 weeks missed a few days, got really excited thinking it was over, did some exercise and then started bleeding again, spotted for about a week that time, got AF 2 1/2 weeks after that, so all up 6 weeks. It's so hard to say what's normal after a m/c, practically everything is! Basically, if your not in pain and not passing smelly clots, then your ok. I heard that your hcg level had to be 0 for 20 days in order to O, and then AF came 14 days after that. But I have no idea how accurate that is! It might be AF, it might be O spotting, it might be implantation spotting, or it might just be WTF spotting. Sorry for the lack of actual help! xo

    Kitfaerie, thanks for your reply- well I have stopped spotting (it was really only that once) so it must be either WTF spotting or implantation spotting- i'm hoping it's the latter.

    Bah, that sucks. I'm sorry babe, it's so weird to have everything back to normal, when it really isn't meant to be normal. I'm glad you got AF back quickly though, less time to wait. Take deep breaths, look after yourself, and think about a christmas baby
