D&C advice? TMI

Question

Just looking for advice and see if others have been through similar? I had a D&C on Monday at just over 9 weeks, after had very little bleeding and pretty much no cramping or pain. Today iv had bad cramps and have had bright red bleeding....is this normal? I'm panicking 😞 sorry for the graphic info

Answer

The same thing happened to me. I had a d&c on February 4th, and 2 weeks later, I had awful cramping and bleeding that was really heavy at first and then after maybe 3 days was completely gone. My doc gave me an ultrasound, everything was normal. The way he explained it to me is that my body was trying to go back to 'normal' too soon, and so had a mini period. Then when my actual period came in March, I bled for 12 days. Then the next 2 have been normal. If the bleeding doesn't stop, or if you're filling a pad every 2 hours, go to the doctor just to make sure everything is all right. And I am so sorry for your loss.

Answer

For the first three days I had mild bleeding and no cramps. Then day 3,4 and 5 I had more bleeding, bright red, clots (biggest was the size of a golf ball) and terrible cramps that would double me over. Also (tmi) I had bad diarrhea. I was told to expect this. It's now day 8 and I have very light pink spotting. So sorry for your loss but it sounds like you are healing correctly.
Here are the things to look for - very large clots (bigger than your fist and than one), heavy bleeding (leaking through more than 2 pads in an hour for more than two hours), faintness, dizziness, and cramps that are so painful and not relieved by advil. 
Sending you lots of love and light in this difficult time.

Answer

Just wanted to say sorry for your loss. I had a D&C in September at 11 weeks. But there is hope--I got pregnant a few months later, and I'm now 20 weeks. Best of luck to you.

Answer

It's very normal. If you bleed through a super pad in an hour go to the er.. but other than that you're probably gunna see blood and clots for a while. I'm sorry for your loss.

Answer

I had a D&C on 3.21. Cramping that day, but minimal bleeding. On 3.25, I had increased bleeding, but not enough to fill a pad. That continued on and off for several days before going back to spotting and then stopping on 4.3. Good luck!

Answer

First, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

I had a D&C yesterday, and asked a ton of questions. Here's what my doctor said: while bleeding and cramping is normal, a dramatic increase in blood volume and intensifying pain/cramping is definitely a sign that something might not be right. It could be that you've developed an infection, or that your cervix is still dilated.

I suggest calling your doctor, who will probably ask that you come in for an exam and bloodwork to confirm what's going on.

I hope it's nothing, but it's better to be cautious at this point and call the doctor. Good luck :-)
