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 had a M then a D&C 19th Dec and its now 16th March with nothing No AF...????. My Ob did not do any HcG level testing or ultrasound but did check after 10 weeks for Asherman's Syndrome and its not that so I'm going to go to another Ob. I can't take this much longer and am going crazy I really need answers and sick of people saying try to relax.... Good luck to you all.

I had a dnc in April 2007 and it's now late Aug., still nothing.  Dr. put me on prometrium, nothing, then on birth control, should have started, still nothing.  I have had horrible cramps, etc.  No levels were checked or anything.  I am going to a specialist on 9/10.  They have mentioned Asherman's to me, perhaps tissue is blocking something.  I just hope something is not seriously wrong.  Has anyone gone this long with a period after a miscarriage, then DNC?

Yes, I am having the same problem.  I had a D and C June 19th and still no af.  I went to see an RE Aug. 13th and he tested my HCG levels and they were 18.  I had them tested again on the 21st they were 25.4, and on the 24th they were 26.  Have you ahd an HCG test done?  MY OB never checked my levels after the D and C so I didn't realize I still had HCG in my system until he tested them.  The RE is considering giving me another D and C b/c he thinks I may have leftover tissue....it's been 10 weeks for me today...and I'm still waiting...

Your story sounds so much like my own :( I found out on June 20th that I had m/c 2 1/2 weeks prior and had a D&C on June 21st. They estimated me at 9 weeks and 3 days when the baby passed away. It has now been over 9 weeks since the D&C and no period. I have only taken home tests and they look completely negative-  do you think I should have a blood test done to check my HCG levels? I can't think abut going thru that again, the worst feeling in the world was when I woke up and knew my baby was no longer inside me. I think it would really help me to get your opinion and talk a little more. I feel like you understand because our dates are so similar. I am 30 and getting maried next week-I want a baby more than anything.

I'm so sorry for your loss...and I know exactly how you feel.  I was 7 weeks when I had my m/c.  I went in to the doctor and she said I was m/c so I had a D and C the next day...it was so hard to do but I was ready for it to be over so I could start trying again.

Yes, I would definately get a HCG test!  My OB never did one on me even when I was pregnant...so that was mistake one for her.  After the D and C she never did an HCG test either.  Your levels are supposed to drop pretty fast and I didn't have my first HCG test until the 13th of August.  I had decided to see an RE b/c my friend was recommending him just b/c of my m/c and I thought he would monitor me and help me get my period back.  So he did my HCG which was 18.  He tested it a week later he thought it would go down and it went up to 25.4...then he thought maybe I was pregnant so he tested it again and it was 26...he tested it on Sat. it was 23.  So it's staying about hte same.  I just went back this morning and he can see that I have a little bit of leftover tissue...just a very tiny piece.  He wants to do a water sono tomorrow and if that's the only piece he sees he is going to remove it with out another D and C.  

I also took HPT and they come back negative.  I've taken 3 OPK's and I had one come back positive that I was ovulating but according to him you don't even ovulate until you reach zero for your HCG.  Believe me they have done everything for me...every test...it is very stressful but at this point whatever he has to do I want him to do...I don't want to scare you but he is also consulting a GYN oncologist about me b/c he wants to make sure what I have isn't cancerous...it's VERY rare so they don't think so...but I would get my HCG levels checked so you can at least start to try again...good luck to you and if you want to talk I am here for you...

it's so amazing that some people have such a difficult time, and others just don't.    I was at 11 weeks when I went in for my 3rd ultrasound and that's when they found no heart beat.  I was completely devasted.  I then had the d&C, April 23.  Then no period.  Dr. put me on prometrium to try to get me to start, nothing.  Then on birth control for a month.  Still nothing.  Now, dr. wants me to have ultrasound to check my lining.  Suggests could be either stenotic cervix or possibly Asherman's syndrome.  I have scheduled an appt. with a different RE specialist.  I don't feel like my current dr. is following me closely enough.    My dr never check my hcg levels after the D&C at any time.  I am going to call and ask why this was not done.  I have heard that Asherman's is directly caused by the D&C, anyone over heard of this?   I
