Chemical pregnancy--HCG to zero--when does AF show?

[Anonymous]

This is my first chemical pregnancy (that I've known about-thansk to those stressful IVF beta tests). My HCG went to zero, but AF still isn't showing. Of course, I'm eager to move on with a new cycle. In your experience, how long after HCG goes to zero does it take for AF to show??

It should be pretty quick - a few days at most. (My doc tols me that it is not like a miscarriage at 8 weeks or so when things have really developed and it takes awhile to get your cycles back.) My period did last a lot longer when I had a chemical, FYI (like 8 days vs. 3-4).

I'm sorry.
