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

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?)

Hello-

I have had two d&c's. The first dr did not get all the tissue. So I had to have another one b/c my hgc level's did not drop therefore no period. Have they checked your levels? I am still spotting from the second d&c.. this past week had the clotting. YIKES. that was scary.. I have never exp anything like this before in my life. I got preg in Sept then had the mc in Nov and still not had any closure yet.

I had spotting for 6 weeks after my DNC ( i was 10 wks)after the bleeding stopped it took 6 weeks to get a period then they were CRAZY.  I even went for a second opinion.  They told me it can take a while especially if your HCG levels are not back to normal mine were not ( i think there was pregnancy tissue left behind because at 6 weeks post DNC I had major clotting) but again DR and 2nd opinion said I  was fine.  Hang in there it can take quite some time to get back to normal.....yet I am worried about the same thing did Dr screw something up since we are STILL NOT PG.  OUr time will come
