How do you count this?

I am wanting to know if anyone can tell me what day to start counting off  to get how many weeks my AF would possibly start.  Is it the First day I bled at the beginning of my miscarriage, or the day I stopped bleeding after my miscarriage?  To clarify, a lot of Doctors say your period will start 4-6 weeks after a D&C, but when do you start the count down?  I really want to start charting everything so I can try to conceive again.  Thanx in advance.

I heard count from the first day of your miscarriage- however, I don't think I ovulated until 20 days past my miscarriage, when I usually ovulate about two weeks after my period. So my cycle is def off. I still have not gotten AF, my miscarraige was on 3/11. However, we started TTC right away so maybe I will get a BFP instead?

 Yeah...this is what I was hoping cause I tested (and got a BFN) because I was throwing up and feeling sick for 3 days now and not wanting to do anything but sleep.  But it could be AF fixin' to come on.  Anyway, gotta do the "pee party" thing on the 15th...perhaps my BFP will be then?  Here's luck to both of us!  BABYDUST!!!!!!!!baby dust

With my miscarriage on 2/19 my doctor told me to start counting on the da of the miscarriage as my last period since I did not have another period and we conceived directly afterwards. But the doctor also told me my normal cycle could be about a week late especially since my cycle is normally only 26 days. Hope that helps and lots of baby dust to everyone!

I counted from the first day of my mc and AF came 28 days later.
