How soon does menstration occur after an d and c?

During my 13th week pregnant, I found out  that I had a missed miscarriage at around 8 weeks.  I went in two days later and had a d and c performed. How soon will I get my period? Also, b/c the miscarriage occured almost 7 weeks ago, should my hormmone levels be back to normal by now? If not how long does this usually take. I still feel pregnant?

I had my 1st period 6 weeks 2 days after the D and C.  Then, my 2nd AF 6 weeks after the 1st.  I was 15 weeks when I miscarried and 3 days after the D and C my levels were at 0.  If you doctor has not done blood work since the D and C, I would ask him/her to check your hCG levels to make sure that they are declining or at 0 by now.  Good luck and sorry for your loss... I know how tough it is.

Soory about your loss, it took me six weeks after the d&c to get a period and I have read on the internet that they are saying 4-8 weeks is normal.

It took me 30 days the first month and 32 the next....I'm all out of whack.  The only way to tell for sure if your hormones are back to zero would be to have blood work done....Is there a possibility that you could be pregnant again?  So sorry for your loss.
