Question

No Period after D and C

I had a D and C on June 12, 2014 for MMC. Then when I took an OPK on July 4, 2014, it was positive and HPT was positive on July 14, 2014 to July 28, 2014. Finally HPT got negative on July 29, 2014. Six weeks after my D and C, and I sitll do not have any period.

Anyone had similar experience as mine? Do I need to do any exam or test to find out the reason? I am very anxious to know why my period is still missing.

If you've just gotten a negative hpt within the last day or so, it's no wonder you haven't gotten AF yet. I would hazard a guess that your positive opk on July 4 was also registering hcg. But since you had a D&C, I would have expected your system to have been cleared of hcg nearly immediately, I worry that you had some retained fetal tissue. I'd phone your physician and see what they say. I assume you had a 2 week follow-up appointment and had no issues raised then. My doctor had me have an SIS after mine to verify that there was no retained fetal tissue.

They told me it could take up to 6-8 weeks to get a period after my D&E. It only took 2 weeks, but that was a very light period and most of the docs dismissed it said to count the one that occurred at 6 weeks post. I wasn't taking HPT at the time though. If you're concerned or having any pain or odd smells, go get the SIS. It isn't painful and only take a few min.

I had a miscarriage and had to get a D&C in January. I didnt have periods for a couple months and your HCG levels are still high because your body has no registered that you are not pregnant. I was seeing my OB for two months after to make sure that they went back down to 0. I am really sorry for your loss and I completely understnad how hard it is. I went in for my 4 month check up and the baby died 3 weeks prior.
