I am sorry for your loss as well & completely understand about wanting to know about your periods because I also had a miscarriage/D&C almost 8 weeks ago. I actually got my period yesterday, and I was told by my OBGYN that it can take anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks and still be considered normal -- I wouldn't be concerned until you pass that mark...
