Well now I'm just experimenting.

I started charting again today, one day after my D&C. When I found out I had lost the baby, I started temping again. My temp was 98.1 all week. Today it was 97.8 My coverline is 97.3. Usually before O my temp is 97.2 and after it's 97.5. I'm like clockwork.

So what's my chart going to look like for the next month or so until AF?

I guess my temps will go down below my coverline. I like to know when I'm getting my period anyway because I'm a teacher...and I have a REALLY hard class this year. I usually can just run to the bathroom and the kids are pretty good for a minute on their own...but I have a really young group this year and I can't leave them...and I can NOT get to the bathroom this year and you can't call down to the office and say "Hi, I started my period and I need to get a tampon NOW." So I like to know when it's coming, at least. I hope I start over Christmas vacation!

Once my period starts, I know what my temps will do. I'm also an early O-er, day 9-11. I take amoxicillin for my crappy CM. We used to use astroglide but that was nothing short of a freaking mess. (That's how I got pg with my first two LOL! The last one was amoxicillian!)

Until I'm back on track, what should I expect?

It's different for everyone - but for me, I temped after my losses and D&Cs and I saw that my temp would go up and down as long as I kept bleeding or spotting. The bleeding and spotting ends for me about 2 weeks after a D&C which is also when my HCG levels hit zero (and I get a negative HPT). From that day, it's "actually" CD1 for me, and then I O two to three weeks later (bbts are normal from here on out).

So, short answer, you should expect a period between 4-8 weeks from your D&C. Your "normal" cycle may start up again once your HCG hits zero (so you'll see your temps drop, then the spike in temp after O, and be able to predict your AF from your normal LP). Some people do not ovulate after a m/c, so it would be hard to predict when AF would start under these circumstances. If you're temping, you should be able to see that whether or not that happens.

HUGS!

My charts looked normal... But I don't think I was releasing eggs... Even this last cycle after my M/C in Sept... I went in and had an U/S.... you can see by my chart.. I got + OPK's... and Temp spikes... We BD as we should have..... But No egg... They didn't even see a Follie big enough to release an egg... So even if you do everything right, and have all the signs... you "MAY" still not release an egg.. It can be frustrating.... I know. BUT hang in thier... you BFP will come! HUGS.

Ditto to Kary and Kristin. I did not O after d&c for the first two months. My cycles were not that off, still within a normal range, but no confirmation of O. After that, cycle 3, I o'd but my lp went to only 10 and 11 days for two cycles. I had to start a regimn of B6 and within 30 days, my lps were back to 12 days.

Because the d&c strips your uterine lining so much, your hormones get more out wack than with a natural m/c. Because your body is trying to repair the lining again to full thickness. This may take 1 or 2 cycles to get that done. You will notice your lining is getting back to normal when your first af post d&c becomes very heavy again.
