When Will I Get My Period Back?

I had a miscarriage 5 weeks ago. I have had my HCG levels tested and my last results were at 63 about 2 weeks ago. So I am not sure if I am at zero yet but I am sure I pretty close if not already there. I have been having cramping and spotting off and on for the last week. Any idea of when I might get my period back? I can't take much more of this post miscarriage limbo I have been living in. My husband and I want so badly to move forward so we can start TTC again in the near future. But I have to get my period back first. UGH!

Edited to add that I did not have a D&C and miscarried naturally at home. I went back twice since then to make sure everything had been cleared out of my uterus and to have my blood drawn to check HCG levels. The Dr said my levels have dropped of very nicely so they are sure my uterus has emptied.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

After 3 1/2 months I finally got a doctors appointment. My OB/GYN gave me a prescrption to jump start my period. He ran a HCG test and a thyroid test. My HCG was down to zero and my thyroid was normal. So there was no good reason that I was not getting my period. But the medication worked like magic and I started my period a few days after the last pill. Thankfully DH and I are back to TTC now. Hopefully it will not take us another 18 months this time around. Thanks for everyone's help!

Amy,
I've also had miscarriages, you didn't say but did they do a D&C to clean you out? You can get a very bad infection if there is any tissue possibly left inside. Your body will keep bleeding and spotting to try and get rid of it.

Amy,

I have a good friend that went through the same thing. She eventually went to her doctor and took a fertility drug to get her cycle back. She is now expecting her first baby in May.

It might be worth an other call to your doctor.

I spotted off and on for about 2-3 weeks or so and conceived the next cycle.
