It is possible to have an irregular period after a D&C, meaning your next menstrual period may not occur at the regular time, and therefore may seem like you've "skipped" a period.
After a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure, the uterine lining needs to rebuild. Because of this healing process, the timing of your next period can be unpredictable. According to the provided reference, your next menstrual period may not occur at the regular time; it could be early or late.
Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
- Irregular Timing: Your menstrual cycle may be disrupted, causing variations in when your period arrives.
- Early or Late: Your period could arrive sooner or later than you typically expect.
Therefore, while you don't actively "skip" a period, the changes in your body after the procedure can lead to a delay that feels like you've missed it.
