Post-Miscarriage Period: What to Expect After a D&C

After a miscarriage, it can take some time for your menstrual cycle to return to normal.

- It's normal for bleeding to last 2 to 4 weeks and to have intermittent spotting for a few weeks after that.

- While some women get their first period 4-6 weeks after their miscarriage, some women may take longer to ovulate and will not get their period for 6-8 weeks or longer.

- After a miscarriage, hormone levels, that support the pregnancy drop rapidly, causing the pregnancy tissue to shed. It may take several weeks for these hormone levels to return to normal, which can affect the regularity of your menstrual cycle.

-If you are concerned about the length of time you have not menstruated following your miscarriage, it's important to speak to your doctor, as there could be other underlying factors affecting your cycle.
