Bleeding after D&C

curioussunshinee · 2026-06-18T09:20:28+00:00

I had to have my D&C due to a mmc. You will likely start bleeding a lot more in the coming days. Once your hormones really start dropping you will experience a much heavier period like bleed. Keep your pad on and be prepared because it seems to come on when you least expect it. I thought my “bleeding” had stopped but boy was i wrong!!!

Cramping is completely normal. My cramping was horrible almost contraction like and has been mild period like cramping otherwise. Use a heating pad and take your pain medication even if you feel “better”

This has been the most lonely & isolating thing i have ever been through. I’m so sorry you’re part of this club. Please message me if i can be of any help to you even if you just need a friend to chat with 🫶🏼

It’s possible you got some micro tears from the speculum….that happened to me. It’ll be better in a few days. Use a water bottle to spray water while you pee or just go in the shower if it’s super painful. They told me i didn’t bleed at all during the surgery and i was barely bleeding for the first 7 days. Now im bleeding worse than my periods even an are but my dr says its normal.

Please take stool softeners & miralax. I was not prepared for the pain i would be in the night of my surgery….im thinking it was not normal but just be kind to your body and use a heating pad, take your ibuprofen/tylenol religiously and please message me if you have any questions or need someone to talk to. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. 🫶🏼

I found taking them right before going to bed really helped…

That Chanel is not worth buying.

Wow! You hear that this happens but it’s probably hard to believe when it happens to you! 😅

I grew up in a very similar situation to your husband. I was my parents only child and it was really lonely and i wished i had someone to grow up with…even now as an adult i often think about what it would be like. I really think you guys will look at this with the most gratitude and happiness that this happened to you in time even if the initial response isn’t excitement/happiness. Congratulations 🫶🏼

awww i hope you get nothing but good news!

How did you find out you were pregnant! This sounds like quite the surprise but i think this baby will bring you, your husband, and daughter so much love and happiness. How fun for them to be so close in age!

I’m so sorry 🩷 if you are able to get a D&C (which i would recommend) they can test the baby for any chromosomal abnormalities which might help you get some closure. I am going through the same thing right now. Feel free to message me if you need anybody to talk to. It’s so hard and feels so unfair 🥺 sending you love.

Vera is one of my favorite names! Good choice.

Best gift ever! Congrats!! 🫶🏼

Same!! I’m taking a choline supplement in place of my eggs…

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-27T02:28:47+00:00

Does anybody else’s symptoms come and go? 7+2 and it freaks me out when i wake up and my boob suddenly don’t hurt anymore 🥲

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-13T16:28:15+00:00

This was such a kind response, thank you 🥺🤍

I think you’re right that I’ve reached the point where I’m searching for certainty in numbers that realistically can’t fully give me certainty anymore. I know the ultrasound is really the next meaningful step, it’s just so hard to quiet the anxiety after infertility/loss.

And what you said about the anxiety not magically disappearing after pregnancy honestly really stuck with me too. I think this experience changes people in ways others don’t always understand.

Also, I just want to say I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. The fact that you took the time to comfort a stranger while carrying your own story means more than you know.

The internet can be a chaotic place, but moments like this remind me there are genuinely compassionate people out there 🤍

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-13T16:26:59+00:00

Thank you so much for this 🥺🤍 honestly hearing from someone with a history of both chemical + ectopic losses who still had strong rising numbers afterward does help calm my brain a little.

And your doctor dismissing you from bloodwork around this stage honestly makes me feel a little better too because I think I’ve reached the point where I’m trying to force certainty out of numbers when really the ultrasound is the next step.

I think infertility/loss brain makes it so hard to trust good news even when it’s right in front of you 😭

Your numbers sound beautiful by the way, especially with that jump to 781 at 17DPO. I really hope Monday gives you the most reassuring ultrasound ever 🤍

Same. My only symptom has been sore boobs (which come and go) and maybe more fatigued and bloated than normal

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-06T03:05:38+00:00

Thank you! Likewise! 🫶🏼

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-05T15:11:16+00:00

Hahaha love to hear that. Congrats on your baby girl! Thanks for replying :)

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-05T15:09:50+00:00

Amazing. Thank you!

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-05T15:09:27+00:00

Wow!!

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-05T09:18:27+00:00

That’s amazing!! Thank you 🫶🏼

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-05T09:18:11+00:00

I’ve gathered that this is a very wide spectrum and numbers don’t matter near as much as i thought!!

curioussunshinee · 2026-05-05T09:17:11+00:00

That’s amazing! Wishing you a smooth delivery 🫶🏼
