Irritability after D&C

Temp700366562504480

My D&C was about a week ago and I thought that I've been doing ok but the last couple of days I have just been a raging b*tch.  I am so irritable.  Everything bothers me and it seems like it's 10 times worse than PMS.  Is this normal?  When will it end?!

I think its probably just your hormones. They are out of whack after a m/c. Hopefully it subsides soon lol. GL!

Yeah I agree about it being your hormones out of whack. I have been feeling crazy but the doctor put me on Prozac so I am feeling  A LOT better.

Totally normal.  As your hormones go back to normal levels over the next few weeks you'll mellow out.

Your hormone levels do not drop to 0 immediately after a d&c. They are still working their way down. I am sure that is part of it. The other part might be the emotional distress you are under right now. Best wishes to you and your recovery.

I wish I had an answer for you.  Yesterday was three weeks since the d&c for me and I'm still a raging biatch at times.

i'm always a raging ***. except to you girls, of course.

OP: hope you feel better soon! those pesky hormone changes are just one of those unfortunate side effects that makes the whole experience just that much more unpleasant. just try to ride it out. and feel free to vent your aggression out on here-- that helped a lot for me!

I don't feel so bad now for the way I've been acting after reading this.  Yesterday every little thing was irritating me.  They are doing a lot of construction on the road near my house, so it was really bumpy. After every bump I was muttering some obscenity.  I yelled at my dad because he kept calling every 30 minutes.  I flipped off the tractor trailer driver that nearly made me run off the road (ok, I guess that one was justified).  People were literally running into me at the mall and I'm surprised I didn't punch someone.  This morning I was thinking about how my supposed best friend has yet to ask me how I'm feeling or contact me.  I've been the one doing all the contacting even though I'm the one who just went through days of hell.  She always blames it on being busy, etc. but give me a break.

To top it all off, my boobs are still really sore and I have nothing to show for it. I keep telling myself this can only get better...

Yup, it's hormones.  I just went through the hormone crash too, last week.  I was a RAGING b!tch, but thankfully my FI knew why and understood.

youre normal. its hormones and emotional/physical exhaustion. I was full of RAGE for four weeks after the d&c then i got Af and holy crap it was even worse. I just made sure to tell FI and all my close friends and family that i was having a rough time and to just bear with me. drink some wine and relax.

Probably better  you get it all out now...I did really well for a month....then I must have crashed at once.....I was mad at the world for a few weeks....I felt neglected, and unusually emotional. I had a m/c confirmed at 8 wks, and due to prior circumstances, the dr. had me return every few days for another week and a half before my d&c at 10w5d.

I think the hormones are all ticking time bombs.....you'll balance soon.
