Answer 1

im sorry for your loss...i can only tell you what happened in my case and i never resumed a normal cycle.  After a d&c, i had bleeding for around 6 days and then it was around 42 days before i had a cycle, from there my cycles were anywhere from 29 - 35 days in length, sometimes longer....

Answer 2

you'll get your next cycle the next 4-6 weeks, she probably told you to wait 2-3 cycles to try again, but I'm really sorry your going thru this , i just had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago,keep faith

Answer 3

Your period should be back to normal within a couple of months.  I had a miscarriage at 6 1/2 weeks and that's how long it took me.  Miscarriage was in June, regular cycle in August.

I am so sorry for your loss

Answer 4

4 to 6 weeks.. thats about average... I am sory for your loss

Answer 5

I'm really really really sorry for your loss.  I know exactly how you feel since I had one in April this year.  Everyone is different so I can't tell you facts.  I can only tell you that in my personal experience I bled for about a week.  My next period occured exactly three weeks later so my cycle was back to normal immediately after my first day of m/c bleeding.

Good Luck and don't get too discouraged.  It happens more often than you would think.

Don't give up hope either! - Keep trying after you have your first normal period!  They say you're most fertile after a m/c the next 3 months.  It took me 4 months after my m/c but we got it and so far so good!
