? about bleeding after D&C

Rubys_Mom

I had my D&C a week ago today.  Since then I've had little to now bleeding.  Yesterday I went to practice, I coach a high school soccer team so I was being active and I came home and had started bleeding, as in similar to the first day of your period.  It seemed a little strange to me and has since stopped.  Anyone else had this 6 days after your D&C???

Have not had anything like that. I had VERY light bleeding until 3 days after my d & c. I then had some heavy clotting for 2 days. Then I had light bleeding for a couple of days. I am now 9 days after and have been spotting VERY lightly for 2 days. I hope this helps, even though it is not like your situation.

The bleeding can stop and start again after a D&C.  That is perfectly normal. 

I have had off & on bleeding for 10 days now since giving birth.  It will completely go away, then all of a sudden it starts up again.  It is very frustrating.   I wish it would just go away!  I hate wearing pads, blek....

I bled on and off for 2 weeks after my D&C.  And then AF showed up 4 weeks to the day from the D&C.

I had this exactly.  6 days after D&C I began bleeding for the first time - about the same as a normal period flow.  I actually started cramping on days 7 and 8 and passed a few clots and maybe even tissue.  You may very well bleed or at least spot for the next week.  If it gets heavier than a normal period or if you develop a fever, more than menstrual cramping, or otherwise feel off, call your doctor.  It has been 4 weeks today since my D&C and unfortunately I still have some spotting.  Hoping it will go away soon, but my doctor thought it was all quite normal.

Normal.

Both the doctor and the nurse warned me this happens to some people.

Thanks gals!  It's good to know that it's normal and even though I hate it, it will end!  Thanks again!

normal! The more active I was, the more bleeding I had.?

same thing here...had my D&C on Thursday, 3/26 and only had bleeding/cramping the day of.  Yesterday I starting getting more active:  walking the grocery store, going back to work, etc. and had light bleeding like the first day of AF and it stopped today.
