Hello ladies! I'm emerging from lurkerdom because I admire how supportive you are of each other and need to share my ttc craziness with someone!
A little background about me...my husband and I have been trying to conceive since August. I found out I was pregnant in January but ended up miscarrying at 6 1/2 weeks on February 1. Everything passed naturally and my doctor tracked my HCG levels back down to normal (took about 3 weeks). She told me I would need to wait 2 cycles before trying again. My cycles tend to be a bit on the long side, 30-35 days, and I figured it might take my body a while to get back into the swing of things. However, it's been 6 weeks and nothing...no period. I chart, and my temp just bobs around not really doing much of anything.
So here's my question. If you had a miscarriage, how long did it take for your period to return? I know that it can take a while and I fully realize that I am being an impatient crazy person, but this is driving me bonkers!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I had two early miscarriages last year and honestly, they were both different. The first one was at 7 wks and my doctor confirmed I was going to miscarry so I was prescribed Cytotec to help hasten the process. It seemed to have worked but I guess not completely because I ended up passing most of it over a month later. After that my period returned after maybe another month. The second miscarriage took place at about 4 wks and I got my period about a month later. I feel like there is no predicting how long it will take for your body to return to normal. I decided to stop TTC for a while because I needed an emotional rest. It's good to let your body come around on it's own, so try not to stress about hurrying it too much. But I know how hard it can be. It's seriously so frustrating. Hang in there!

If you're being an impatient crazy person well then so am I, because I am also waiting for my first period after the D&E. It's been almost 6 weeks and nothing yet. Waiting is HARD and not being able to have some closure and get back to normal really sucks, so I empathize with you.
