Period after emergency D&C

Hi! On June 4th, I had an emergency d&c to stop heavy bleeding (later the cause was found to be a broken blood vessel).  I am not pregnant and have taken 3 tests to triple check.  However, I have not yet gotten my period.  I was supposed to the week of the 4th but did not and obviously still haven't gotten it.  I don't go back to the doctor until the beginning of August.  Does anyone know if this is normal?

Hi there,

I just wanted to add on to Lisa's excellent advice to say that it could take a while for the lining in your uterus to build back up properly after having a D&C, so that can also cause a delay.
