What was your spotting/discharge like after your procedure? Did you pass any tissue?
I opted for a D&C this time because the natural m/c I had the first time was pretty traumatic for me. I knew I'd probably spot some, but I didn't want to see any tissue or major clots.
I had my procedure on Tuesday morning and have had little to no spotting since then. Yesterday I started spotting heavier and I attributed that to the fact that I had been doing a lot (running errands, playing around with DD, etc etc). This morning in the shower I passed a large amount of tissue that I can only guess was the sac?? I have no idea, and while painless it was really shocking and startling for me to see. I thought the whole point of the procedure was to get everything out at once.
I'm just so upset because I'm sitting here thinking, 'well why did I even bother with the D&C?' Our insurance is less than stellar (we're getting bills now from the numerous u/s I had) so I know bills for the, now pointless, D&C aren't far behind.
Ugh. What were your experiences?
Re: Ladies who had a D&C
I had a D&C on may 5th and i didnt have any spotting for a few days or atleast very little. then about three days after i bled very heavy and had some clumps. i bleed for two weeks. but i did it because i couldn't naturally miscarry and i didnt want to wait and try because i was scared it would be more hurtful. but i dont think you should be passing the sac because they are supposed to remove everything when its done. i would call your doctor. it could possibly be just clumped blood that congealed inside of you.
I am very sorry for your loss.

*All are welcome in my posts*Without writing a story... normal flow from day 1to6. Heavy flow with passing of clots and tissue from day 7 to 9. Normal flow for the next 7 weeks. At which point i passed a very large ball like piece of tissue. Light flow until week 10 then stopped complete.
I am not the nornal but it happens.
It is not uncommon to pass ckits or even tissue. A doctor doesnt always get it all and you have to remember that they scrape your uterus.

It might have been a large blood clot, or tissue from the uterine lining. The blood could have pooled in there for a few days and then came out all at once. When I had my d&c last year I had something similar happen (but it was extremely painful) and the doctor later said that she wasn't surprised, "there was a lot of blood still in there" ... I thought to myself "Thanks a lot $%&%! Couldn't you have warned me ahead of time?!"
