After 2 rounds of Cytotec not completing my miscarriage I had a D&C today. I think the worst part was getting stuck 3x for an IV. They couldn't find a vein. Had some cramping afterwards and passed a small clot. The procedure only took 20-30 mins but from start to finish I was in the hospital 4 hours. The dr said he had to stop some bleeding. I did feel a little faint before going home but I think it was from losing so much blood in the last 6 weeks. Now I wait anxiously for my appt in 2 weeks to see when we can try again. I am so glad it's all behind me now and my body can get back to normal.
I hope you are doing well and it's amazing how much more the healing process can begin once the physical part is over. I'm sorry you had to go through a lot to get to this point. But lots of T&P your way as the next part of your journey and healing begins.
Sorry for your loss! I hope you have smooth recovery. I have to say that I was feeling physically normal sooner than I expected, about a couple days after the procedure. I was able to go out for a short run. Emotionally it has taken me longer to heal. But its getting better. T&P your way!
