When Can I Expect Periods Post D&C Delivery?
Question: I had a d&c XXXXXXX 16...when should I expect my period back? and how long do I need to wait until I can try to get pregnant again?
Brief Answer:
3 months.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After a D&C usually the period starts after 28-30 days of the procedure. Following abortion, next 1-2 cycles may be irregular but after that, period becomes normal as like previous in most women. Therefore, one should start to plan for conceiving after 3 cycles at least after regularization of period.
If period is regularized, then you should calculate ovulation time that occurs approx 14 days before next due date. Ovulation prediction kit is also very much helpful in context to predict ovulation and you should prepare for that day for unprotected sex for highest possibility of pregnancy.
In these 3 months, you may take folic acid & vitamin E supplements with healthy diet.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
