the average seems to be about 6-12 weeks. i took 6 this time and probably didn't OV in the first cycle, but i'm 43 and i think it takes longer as you get older. chin up!!

Krisso, I'm in the boat with you and Vanaithi. I had a d&c on April 24th and haven't ovulated or had and AF yet. Apparently the hcg produced in pregnancy suppresses the production of the hormones that stimulate ovulation. So as long as you have hcg in your system (apparently a level of about 5 or above) your body is basically on hold.
I got frustrated and had a blood test last monday. My hcg level (3 and a half weeks after the d&c) was 101. I read that the level halves around every 48 hours, so hopefully I'll be back on the TTC bandwagon soon.
If you are concerned, you can always ask your doctor for a BT to see what your hcg levels are doing. It gave me some peace of mind just to know what was going on in my body. And we've been "practising" just in case I ovulate any day now

Took me 12 weeks but when AF finally showed it was back to "normal". I have had regular cycles since the return. Like the other ladies have staed I think it greatly depends on YOUR body...goodluck TTC...I hope you'll get a BFP soon!
Finally!!
Hi All.
Thank you all for all the replys and information.
Yesterday 1st AF since MC finally arrived though i do notice a difference. Alot lighter in colour and heavier.
One other thing i am a little unsure about is if it is ok to use tampons or not??
Thanks ladies and wishing you all the best with TTC.

Hey All
I miscarried at 11 weeks with our twins on 5th May, which is almost 4 weeks away. I thought my body would just click back pretty quickly because my cycle is super regular, but no AF yet. But from all the replies the average is 6-12 weeks. Not that it matters in my case as I had to have a Rubella booster as my levels were low and now we have to wait three months before we can TTC, so if AF doesn't arrive soon, I'm not too worried. But it really sucks having to wait, we are really anxious to try again, but we will do as our doctor advises. All the best
