Hi there,

i had a blighted Ovum found out at 7 weeks and waited 2 weeks for my body to natrually misscarry but wouldn't happen so opted for a D&C and had it at about 10 weeks. It has now been 5 weeks/ 35days since the D&C and still no AF. From what i have read my body should go back to normal cycle but it hasn't , i know its probably quite normal but has anyone else had this before and how long did it take for AF to come?

Nadia I just had a D&C about 3 weeks ago and I had a good chat to a nurse about when to start trying again. She said it was best to wait till after one cycle to give the uterus lining a chance to build up again and be nice and squishy for the next one. GL to you and hope you get your next BFP soon

Woops just repeated myself sorry :-)

Opk- Ovulation predictor kit- like preg tests you use your pee to detect lh (lutenising hormone) which peaks just before you ovulate. My understanding of blighted ovums is that your hormone levels are a bit higher than normal so it may take a little longer for things to even out as well. Unless waiting is what your lmc has advised you to do it's up to you what you do.

Hi Nadia,
so sorry for your loss.

I m/c last month at 13 weeks. I was told to wait 3 cycles before trying again which really upset me - I wanted to try again straight away. I have since been told there's no reason to wait 3 cycles - that is just a standard time frame you get told to help with emotional loss, more than physical issues.

I decided to wait one complete cycle just to see what my body was going to do i.e. see if it went back to normal, or if things were going to be a bit strange for a while.

I ovulated bang on time (I also have opk) after my m/c, like the m/c was day 1 of my cycle. My AF arrived 1 day early.

This cycle, I ovulated 3 days early, so luckily I knew what I was looking for or I would've missed it. I got a positive on the opk on Saturday, so have been practising making babies ever since!! I am uterly obsessed with being pregnant again. I am hoping and praying I get pregnant this cycle.

Hopefully some of this info is helpful to you. My advice is try again when you think you're ready mentally, and your body should be ready (as long as your m/c was straight forward i.e. no retained products).

Good luck.

Thanks everyone, Im going to wait a complet cycle and then try again. Only problem is i always find it hard to know when i ovulate as last time i had two diffrent dates but will find out im sure. Other is i really hope i have a normal cycle as before i got preggy i was on the pill for two years and cant rember if my periods were on time before that. I did have one normail one before i got preggy so i think they should be fine.

Im still bleeding from my misscarige though its light and only sometimes meduim. Its been about six days now dose anyone know when it will stop?

Bobsta- Thanks for that i think i will try there then
