By when should I expect my period after a D&C Procedure?

Question

My bleeding started on July 20(still pregnant)

July 28th-my baby w/heart beat was seen on ultrasound(still bleeding)

July 30 in the evening I went to the ER and doctors told me that I had an incomplete miscarriage, and had the D&C procedure right at 8 wks in my pregnancy

Bleeding continued for a whole week off and on more like spotting, then dark red

Bleeding stopped completely on August 10th

Before my pregnancy my period has always been on a 35-37 day cycle, will that change now that I had this happened? Or will it still be the same length? By when should I expect my period? I plan to get pregnant ASAP. The doctor that gave me the procedure said to wait 3 months, but she didn't give me any more information(she was in a hurry) while the nurse that stayed to check me a little more, said to not have s*x for 6 weeks, but to check with MY doctor to see what he tells me. I have my appointment with him next week. To this day I haven't had s*x with my hubby.

Also, are you really more fertile after a miscarriage? When my hubby and I tried to get pregnant, I got pregnant on my 2nd month. So, in my heart I feel that I won't have a hard time getting pregnant next time(besides I'll have s*x every night with my hubby!!)

Answer 1

everyone is different, your period will come when your body has gotten over the operation,cycle should still be the same length. you should wait a few months before trying to conceive again to let your body heal, you are more fertile after having a d/c!
