When should period return??

Question

I suffered a blighted ovum, and had a d&c 12/19/19.  All went without complications, and I’ve had mild cramps here and there over the last two weeks but nothing consistent.  Anyone had experience with this and have an idea when my period might return?  Obviously we got the ok and have been trying since the beginning of 2020, just trying to figure out when I’d need to start thinking of pregnancy tests again if it doesn’t come.

Answer

I had a D&C 12/17 for a blighted ovum and got my period sorta starting 1/20, but it’s not typical. I know I didn’t ovulate based on my temps so I think the oddness with my period relates to the lack of those hormones. I think I read that if you don’t ovulate, bleeding comes more as a result of just buildup so it can come later than you expect and last longer (This is what I’m experiencing). You’re still within the time period of normal not to get a period after a d&c for probably about another week. Or maybe you got lucky and caught an egg! I can tell you I actually felt a lot better mentally once I got my period. Like just in a much more normal head space. Sorry for your loss.

Answer

It can take anywhere from 4-7 weeks. I had a chemical , it took me 7 weeks. With my MMC it took 4 weeks and with my daughter who was still born it took 5 1/2 weeks.
