March 4, 2020 at 3:22 pmI had a D&C 4 weeks ago. I’m still getting slightly positive tests and my hcg is 8. I have another blood draw tomorrow, because they want it below 5 but my question is: Once it is below 5, will I ovulate or will I start my period?

March 5, 2020 at 8:47 amHi There. So sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

That's a really great question. In a normal senario, you would ovulate before getting your period, but in this case, there might be constant spotting where you could not see ovulation signs and then get your period. I am not sure if you can have what appears to be a period, without ovulation. Has your doctor given you any indication of what your cycle might look like?

For some women, they get their period back within a month or so, but find their cycle length varys more than it did before their miscarriage. Hopefully some other women will be able to offer some feedback.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

March 8, 2020 at 2:47 pmHi Jaybear. Sorry about all this. I had a D&C for blighted ovum in June, and my temp stayed elevated, and I still had pregnancy symptoms through my first anovulatory cycle 28 days later, which is longer than my usual 24 days. My cycles are almost back to normal, but the first 3-4 cycles were really heavy, and I had nausea leading up to them. Hope this helps.
