Last month I had a D & C because my pregnancy was diagnosed as a Blighted Ovum. The nurse told me to wait 3 weeks before engaging in sexual activity but I only waited 2 weeks. I wasn't bleeding or in any pain at all and that is why I thought it was okay to do so.
The nurse told me to expect my period in four weeks which is now. The strange thing is is that I am feeling pregnant. I am feeling exactly how I was feeling when I found out that I was pregnant the first time (dizzy, tired, sore/tingling breasts). I have also taken 3 HPT that each show a faint pink line. Could I be pregnant so soon?

I think the hormones should be gone if you had a D and C so it sounds like it to me

I went to the walk-in clinic to get a blood test done to see if I am or not. I will find out on Monday. I was wondering if the menstrual cycle starts on time when someone has a D and C. The doctor and the nurse told me in 4 weeks but does it ever come later than that?

I think it was 5 or 6 weeks for me, but it's been a long time in my case. I know it was longer than 4.

I think generally it is 4 weeks but some go as long as 6 weeks. Keep us posted as to your test result.
Take care

I had my 2nd M/C this year, about 5 1/2 weeks ago and am still waiting for AF.... I hope I'm not P/G again, after all that another pregnancy was definitely NOT my intention! I am anxious to hear your results! Good luck to you!

My doctor says that it should be between 4-10 weeks is normal after a m/c. I still had some hcg in my system up to 4 weeks after my m/c and had pos pg test but it was left over. You could be pg. I wish you the best on your test. Amy

I was diagnosed with B/O on 05/16/05. I had a D & C on 05/19/05. About 5 days after D & C I started bleeding heavily and this continued for 10 days in spite of medication to help contract the uterus to stop the bleeding. I just started bleeding again, at 4 weeks, right on schedule, however, the doctor had told me that it typically takes 4-6 weeks. I have been to the doctor every Friday to have HCG levels tested and I was still at 18 last week. My doctor wants to keep testing until I reach the 0-5 range. I am hoping that my levels return to normal soon! I don't know if this helps, as everyone is different, but I wish you the best.
