How long should I expect to spot after a miscarriage

[Prayerful2528]

As most of you know, I miscarriage at 19 weeks.  I had the baby natural, but also had to have an D & C because the placenta wouldn't come out on it own.  I am spotting brown plus some light bleeding.  The m/c was on June 14.   When should I expect my normal cycle?  I know everyone is different, I just wanted some information on how long you could spot before you see a normal cycle.  Thanks ladies in advance for all that take time out to give me some feed back.

Sincerely,
Yolanda

Thanks ladies, believe it or not I do get my strength from you all...The compassion you receive from the people on this site is unbelievable.  I will give my doctor a call tomorrow.  Again, thanks for the support and advice.

Oh Yolanda, how my heart hurts for you.  

All of my losses were first trimester, with 3 of them resulting in D&C's.  For me it is typically about 5 weeks.  It is different for everyone.

If the bleeding is more then spotting, and has lasted more then 2 weeks, you need to follow up with your Dr.  Also, if the bleeding gets really heavy, more then a pad an hour, you must seek emergency treatment.  

If in another week or two no period, you can also see your Dr. and he/she can give you something to force ovulation, and then of course AF.

I'm so sorry Yolanda, and I wish you peace and healing.  XOXO
