    Pretty much identical to Tegam. AF spot on 28 days post D&C. Fell pregnant next cycle.

    All the best. I'm sorry for your loss.

    My sister had a D&C for retained placenta after losing my niece at 20w.
    She got her period back at about 6 weeks afterwards, I'm pretty sure.

    I'm so sorry.

    Thanks guys! So many responses and so quick! I'm curious to see what my body will do. Ha but first things first, healing from the D&C... At least the bleeding isn't bad...

    28 days, and then my cycle was the most perfect it's ever been. Which felt wasteful, as we couldn't TTc again for 6 months, and by then it was kinda weird again.

    Oh, and that first AF was pretty hefty and nasty. Just another of nature's cruel blows.

    It sucks. I hope you heal well, in heart and body.

    I'm sorry again for your loss hun. After my d & c, I got my AF 5.5 weeks later. I was told to skip the next cycle to get my body back on track, and so my next AF after that was 30 days later so pretty much back to normal now.

    Sorry to hear of your loss.

    I had a d&c at 11wks (bub measuring 8wks) and AF returned 5 weeks later. I O'd a little late and had a slightly short LP, but I was still BF at the time (1 feed/day) so that could have contributed too. We resumed TTC straight away, but still haven't gotten another BFP...

    I've been getting some weirdness with my cycles since the d&c (delay between +opk and BBT rise) which I think I need to speak to my Dr about. I never had that happen before the d&c.

    Im so sorry your little one couldnt stay We were TTC for 5 years and fell that resulted in miscarriage and a D&C, period back about 30 days later and I fell pregnant again (naturally after 4 years of IVF) the next month. Best of luck, hun
