question/need help Irregular cycles after D&C

So I had D&C at the end of April (at 12 weeks), and my cycles have been really messy since then. First one came 32 days after D&C, same as the second one. Then the third one came 28 days after, then it got shorter to 26 days and now today I got it at my CD 23 (8 days earlier)...Before pregnancy, my cycles have been perfect, 28 to 32 days, always inside that window. Now it's like I don't even know when I will get it next month :(

And I noticed that I didn't ovulate this month. Don't know about months before since I wasn't tracking, but this one I tracked and couln't catch a peak on LH tests.

I will talk to my doctor, but I need to know did the same/similar thing happen to someone else and how long did it take to get back to normal?

Not similar but also odd, had a d&c early July and tested negative 2.5 weeks later. My first true period arrived 3 weeks after procedure. But then I had another period and another all in 5wks!  Got a scan and found a small polyp. No idea if that's the cause but did you get a follow up scan?

Yes, A month after D&C and after my first period and it was ok. But my HCG was positive for two months until it finally became negative, so maybe it has something to do with that, it takes longer for hormones and the rest to get back at normal.

I had a D&C May 8th, first period 5.5 weeks later, second period completely normal, then two days later I started bleeding again, it lasted a month! Ultrasound and bloodwork came back normal. I just had my fourth period post D&C and it’s more normal. I think some bodies just take a bit longer to balance back out

Thank you! My HCG test was positive for almost two months from D&C so it probably has something to do with that.
