so sorry to hear you had to go through this!!! it can vary from 2 weeks after to i've heard up to 3 months (my dr said expect it typically 4-8 weeks after)    Did you have your beta's checked to make sure it went down to normal, could you be pregnant again?? Good luck! hope you get a sticky BFP very soon!

I had a m/c on  July 15 and it has totally messed up my cycle.  My RE said to just wait and things will return to normal.  Takes awhile for your body to "re-set" itself.  :)

I had a m/c when I was 7 wks pregnant on june 15th, I ovulated again on July 2nd and got af on July 15th, so my cycle returned to exactly 30 days as always.  It was the best feeling ever getting af after the m/c, anyway for some women it takes less or longer.  Also you could have ovulated in this time and may be pregnant again....I don't mean to get your hopes up but you could check it off ht list.

I had a m/c on July 15th...I'm with you sasparilla...unfortunately we are in the same boat.  I know my levels were at 0 not this past Monday but the one before...21st?  I started counting my cycle days starting the day of my m/c.  I'm not sure if that is right or not...but that would make me CD18 ( no o yet).  My RE told me last Monday 21st that I should get af in 4 weeks.  I've had 3 m/cs.  The first one my HCg took forever to go down.  It took me 14 weeks to get af...that's VERY unusual.  The second one..in between 4-6 weeks.  Good luck to you!
