I thought I was pregnant in early September but went in for the 7 week ultrasound and there was nothing visible on the ultrasound. My ob said it was a missed misscarriage and that it would not result in a viable pregnancy and so I had a D & C. Since then I’ve gotten my period back but it’s gone from a normal 31 day cycle to a 44 day cycle and I have light bleeding now following sex. Has anyone else had this happen after a miscarriage or D & C? I’m trying to get my cycle to get back to normal because I’d like to get pregnant again. I’m frustrated that my body is all out of whack and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Right now I’m trying acupuncture and fertilaid supplement.
