How long after m/c for AF

Bamaca · 05-28-2004, 12:56 PM

I was just wondering how long I could expect to wait for a period after a m/c. I am on Met so my cycles were regular before m/c. One dr. said 4 weeks after m/c bleeding stopped and other dr said maybe longer. I know you have to wait until a couple of weeks until your HCG goes to 0 but I don't have that info. So I was just curious. Also, has anyone ever heard of getting pregnant immediately after m/c like before you actually had a period. Just curious. Thanks for any input. Bamaca

It usually takes a little longer for AF to show up after m/c. For me, she was less than a week late but for some she can be two or three weeks late. I have heard of women getting pg before af shows up again after m/c. They say you should wait at least until you have a normal af before trying again in order to give your body time to heal. I remember reading about someone here at SC (I can't remember her name

) getting pg again right after m/c and carrying to term so it can happen and everything turn out okay, they just don't recommend it. HTH and GL

My RE told me 4-6 weeks from your 0 beta. I actually got AF 28 days from my 0 beta first time ever. So if you had regular cycles before m/c you should probably continue that way. Good luck

delila,

My dr said it could take up to 8 weeks. I had NEVER had an AF without meds of some kind. I took Prometrium week 8, then it took till week 10. I still haven't had one since then, which could be a good thing!
