Pregnancy Info HOME

I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum on Jan 20th and had a D&C on Feb 4th (we waited another 2 weeks to make sure sac was empty). I spotted very lightly the next day but no period. On Feb 10th I started to dark brown spot. Today (2/14) it's only when I wipe now and not on my pad, so I'm hoping its almost done with so my cycles can regain themselves. I've been cramping like AF is coming so I'm waiting as patiently as I can to see what happens.

Forgot to mention - I was 10 weeks but my sac only measured 5.5 weeks and I think that might play some factor on how we spot and all. My doc said to not worry if it took 4-6 weeks before AF returned and not to be alarmed if spotting continued as long as it wasn't accompanied by extreme cramping or excessive bleeding (1-2 pads saturated an hour). Hope this helps :)

Hope you guys can help me... I had an Actopic prenancy and they did surgery five weeks ago (I had been about six weeks along) I was beeding and spotting on and off for two weeks prior to my surgery which included a D&C and laperoscopy. I bled for three days after. Stopped for a coupld and then started to bleed again for a whole week like a period. Doc said just watch it. Now, if I count the week of bleeding (since there was a two day break from the bleeding from D&C), I am at 32 days and no period! I just did a Urine Home preg check and it shows negative. Could it be too early to check ? Could I be out of wack still or ?? I see my Doc in 8 days but I am obsessed with looking for body signs and feel like I could be preggers but the test is neg. Should I not have had a normal period by now? Advice and opinions quite welcome.

sugar, I was told a period should come anywhere form 4-6 weeks after my D&E. I'd a__sume it's the same for you. So, according to the 6 weeks estimate, you still have some time yet. However, I, like you, am hoping af doesn't come and I find myself pregnant before I get her :)

I was told by my physican that you should wait at least one cycle before getting pg. again. After my miscarriage I got my period 3 weeks after the miscarriage, Then another 3 weeks and now 4 weeks.

I just had a D&C last week after having a blited ovum and my dr. told me that I may have spotting until my next period about 4wks. I didnt have much at first, but now I am having a lot of old blood. My dr.also said we could try again after my next period. Hope this helps

I HAD A M/C ON DEC25/2004 AND I DIDNT START MY PERIOD TELL FEB27/2005 IS THAT NORMAL .

CHRISTA-did you have spotting at any time that could have been a light period? Sometimes if you don't ovulate you won't have a period, but usually some spotting. How was your period in Feb? Normal or differnt?

Christa, I had a miscarriage on Jan. 12 it is now March 3rd and I still don't have a period. So I wonder the same thing. Is this normal?

Misty, I was diagnosed with blighted ovum and had my D & C done on Jan 5, 2005. It's March 3 and I'm still waiting for my periods. Afraid it it is amenorrhea.

Norzum- what is amenorrhea?

hey stacey, it is absence of periods. generally, doc say that periods should come 4-6 weeks after D and C. And now its more than 8 week. that's why i was worried.

O.K. well I just went to planned parenthood and the test came back positive. I'm scared and excited at the same time they told me to go for an ultrasound as soon as possible because it is impossible for them to know how far along I am or if I just have left over tissue form the m/c. It is unlikely that it is left over tissue though from what they said. This would explain the absence of a period. I'm so nervous. I think I will be for the entire pregnancy..if that is what this is.

have you asked your doc? If so, what did they say? Same question as before, did you have any spotting? I am currently at 5 weeks- no af after d&e! It's not a fun wait- I did have spotting for a week which might have been af- not sure!

By the way...thank you Stacey

yeah! I did ask my doc on feb 14 and she told me to wait. Although there is no possibility that I could be pregnant but still I had pregnancy test donetwice in lab and it was negative. Also, initially my doc told me to wait for 3 normal cycles before ttc. now i'm already late for my first period. u think i should still wait till 3 cycles or i can start ttc right after my first.
