No period 11 weeks after miscarriage and D&C and definately not pregnant

[kerryrobin]

I had a blighted ovum and consequently a D&C on the 14th Dec 06. I thought I was 11 weeks pregnant but the pregnancy had stopped developing at 7 weeks. I haven't had a period since I had the D&C. I'm really worried because in Jan and Feb I've experienced bad period pain for 2 days but no period. On Feb 1st I tested positive on an ovulation kit and I experienced period pains 14 days later (when I presume I should have started my period)but as I say no period. I've had a quantative blood test for pregnancy done this week at the DR's and it came back negative. I'm so worried that the D&C has scarred my uterus or something and that I'll never be able to have anymore children. My DR has said that this is highly unlikely and that I should try not to get stressed but its a vicious circle, especially as I have an extremly stressful job too (child protection social worker). Its 11 weeks since the D&C and still no period, is this normal or is there a chance that something went wrong with the D&C and this is preventing my period. (I should mention, I've had constant sore boobs, sickness, moodiness, tearfullness etc since the miscarriage - PMT symptoms?)

Hi,
I too recently had a miscarriage after trying for a baby for such a long time. They say that bad things happen on Fri 13th and this was so for me. I didn't have to have a D&C but I had an ultrasound to check that it was all clear. Since then, I have not had a period and I have been experiencing period like cramps for over a week. Every morning I wake up thinking that I shoould have my period due to the cramps I had the previous day but there is nothing. The miscarriage was heartbreaking enough and now that I feel that I can finally move on and start trying again, I can't because I haven't even had a period yet. It is just so frustrating. It is now day 46 since my miscarriage and from this post I have read that 46 days is nothing compared to some people who have waited months but I can't stand waiting any longer. I want to move on because I desperately want to be a mother. I am so sick to death of people telling me that we need to relax and get away. So I was just wondering if you had any luck yet to a) get your period, and b) fall pregnant?

My husband and I were pregnant last fall and had a miscarriage around Christmas of 09.  The doctor said that if I do not miscarry naturally within 4 days to have a D&C.  I had one right before New Years Day.  One month passes and I have no period but this incredible pain shooting in my abdomen, vagina and anus...it lasted for three days.  It is like a knife when I try to go to the bathroom but it is not a UTC.  3 months have gone by and I still do not have a period (which I find odd) but I do get these sharp pains around the time that I should get my period, so sharp that it brings me to my knees and I can't sleep at night.  My family doctor and OBGYN are not much of help, they keep telling me to call back next month if I get the pains and do not get my period.  I've been doing my own research and wonder if the D&C caused this.  I'm wondering if maybe I have Asherman's Syndrome but don't know who to go to in order to find out.  I too have been on the pill for a long time.  I've had an ultrasound and they do not see any issues.  I took 18 blood test and they told me I have Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) which  is a rare genetic defect that can lead to complications in pregnancy.and I should not be on the pill.  But this doesn't explain the pain that I get every month and why I am not getting my period.  I hope I get my period soon and the D&C didn't cause any damage to me getting pregnant again.  I really don't want to deal with these cramps every month, I wish there were an answer or a specialist I can see.  My family doctor and OBGYN have not recommended anyone?  If anyone can offer a suggestion of who I should see, please do.  I also wish a doctor was on this forum...so frustrated right now

I was pregnant in early March. I had a missed abortion according to the radiologist. I waited several weeks to see if the sac would go away on its own. It did not. So my OB advised I have a D&C. I hardly bleed after the D&N. I expected to bleed worse than my normal period. I didn't get a period after that. My OBGYN put me on meds to bring my period on. I eventually got a very light pink discharge and cramps but it only lasted a day. I also had some dry brownish blood over a month later but not healthy looking blood? I'm concerned. I want a baby very much! I'm scared of cancer or anything else that could damage my fertility? Anybody have any answers cause I'm not getting many from my doctor. She is doing a biopsy next week of my uterus but in the mean time I'm left wondering??? Maybe I'm over reacting but I used to be very normal and bleed a lot.

I found out I was pregnant in March of 2008 and 8 weeks later on April 13th   we found out that our baby hadn’t grown in two weeks and it didn’t have a heart beat.  I had a D & C on April 18th.  
The pain is still here but it is getting more tolerable.  From the first day you find out your pregnant you know that miscarriage is a possibility but it isn't something you can really prepare yourself  for.  The baby, through only 8 weeks along was a real person to my husband and I and still is. When I found out that I was pregnant I felt an instant bond to the tiny life growing inside of me.  To lose it was very painful.  I know I have grown because of this experience.  I may never be able to hold that baby in my arms, but I will always hold it in my heart. It is a  part of me. Because of it life is more fragile, more precious.
I want to get pregnant as soon as possible.  My doctor told me that it is safest if we wait for about two months after the D & C to start trying again so that my uterus lining has time to rebuild.  We hit the two month mark yesterday so we are trying again.  But in that  two months since the D & C,  I have not had a period yet.  Does any one know if that is normal.  I really thought it would come back sooner.  I am terrified that something might be wrong with my body.  Any suggestions???
