LR - Ladies with h/o D&C come on in...
Well, this weekend's attempt of taking care of residual tissue with Cytotec was a disappointment. I am now scheduled for a D&C this Thursday morning, and hoping so hard that this is the final chapter of this loss. I will be discussing what to expect for recovery with my OB on Thursday morning, but considering she told me that it's normal to bleed for 6 weeks straight, I'm not super confident in anything she has to say. I was curious to know if you ladies could share your experiences to help me mentally prepare for this. Specifically, I'm curious about the post-op pain and how much longer I should expect to bleed for once it's done.
Thank you all in advance!

Re: LR - Ladies with h/o D&C come on in...
My circumstances were a bit different than yours, but I'll share my experience:
I was in moderate pain for a couple days after my D&C. It wasn't excruciating but enough that I wanted to lie down most of the time.
I was very tired the following week. Could have been blood loss or the fact that I was very depressed. Maybe a combination of both.
Unfortunately, I did bleed for about 6 weeks. It wasn't awful, some days were just spotting, but it did last a while.
I'm so very sorry for your loss and that you are having to do all of this.

My situation was different in that we waited nearly two weeks to naturally miscarry and it never happened. So I wasn't bleeding at all. I had the D&C on a Thursday, came home and slept (more out of mental exhaustion), and went back to work the next day. I had minor cramping and spotting that day. I had much heavier cramping two days later which went away with a heating pad. I never had any bleeding heavier than spotting and was essentially pain free after that day.

I'm not sure my experience with a D&C will be helpful to your situation, because mine was after an early loss. But I had a couple of days of Crampy, uncomfortableness afterward. I bled for just a couple days and then it was over.
I hope it all ends soon, so that you can just focus on the emotional feelings and not need to worry about the physical side of things too. ((Hugs))

I wanted to chime in to say that after mine I had no cramping/pain, and bled less than a normal period so it really does vary. I had it on a Wed and took the rest of the week but it was more for emotional recovery than physical...
Thinking of you.
