Anyone know when you 'should' ovulate after a D&C?

Just that really. Had an emergency D&C on 7th June after a MC. TTC again (nurse and counsellor both aware and ok with it because anyone tells me off!), but haven't ovulated yet (checking every two days with Clear Blue sticks) and CM seems kinda dry and sticky :-( I thought I'd have a got a +ve now as the hospital/counsellor/midwife confirmed that a D&C would act like a period in that my cycle would continue as if I'd just had a period, and also I thought a D&C usually regulated people's cycles back to know - so thought I'd be ovulating this Friday, and obviously the test isn't picking anything up yet. I know it's kinda early to worry and you probably think I'm being ridiculous, but I don't think I ovulated every month prior to the recent pg, mc, and D&C and I'm desperate to conceive again. Like a lot of you, I'm winding myself up with it. It's shit, isn't it?! Thanks in advance for any help :-)

I didn't check with OPKs etc but I reckon it took me a good 3 'cycles' for everything to get back regular after my MMCs and D&Cs.

Some people probably do bounce back really quickly but I probably ovulated about 8 weeks after my op. In theory the pregnancy hormones should all go with the D&C so the docs are right, it would be like a period, but I certainly didn't respond like that.
