Haven't check in here for a while...
My menses reported yesterday, 31 days after D&C and 4 days of prior staining. And I experienced the craziest craziest pre-menstrual cramps since the birth of my boy in 2006. Can die! Bad mood the entire weekend! I have actually predicted menses to report yesterday cos I was charting mucus after D&C and noted the supposed O-date and calculated that menses is to report approx 14 days later.
So while you gals are waiting for X number of cycles to pass before TTC, no harm spending your time now to chart so that when you are ready to TTC again, you know just when is THE right time.
Ling, ppcc, JTML,
I've read your recent postings...

Ling,
If unsure about the discharge, may wanna call gynae to check. They told me the post procedural bleeding can go on for a week plus. But if very heavy bleeding, must call them. They say if walk around more few days after D&C, will have more bleeding also. I suspect it could be your case. So maybe don't move around too much.
About hormone medicine, well, the thing is, there are many reasons why a miscarriage happens. One is that the egg or sperm could be abnormal (we all have some abnormal egg or sperm) and though conception takes place, because of the abnormality, it will naturally end in miscarriage. Another reason could be the uterus. Perhaps hormone level not high enough, etc etc. So the hormone medicine is really to make your uterus as conducive as possible so that if the pregnancy is viable (good egg and sperm), then it will continue.
My gynae said the next I have a +ve HPT, to come in immediately so that he can pump in the medicine. I'll just go for it. That was what he did when I have my boy after 1 M/C. But he didn't do it this round. So I've also been wondering if he had done things differently, would the pregnancy continue. Or it's another case of bad egg/sperm which is doomed to fail anyway. It's anybody's guess.
