Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Fever after miscarriage/D&C?

Good morning ladies. It's me again, looking for some advice.

I miscarried (medicine-induced) a week ago Friday and had a D&C this past Friday. I was supposed to be checking my temp at least twice a day, but that was one of the million things the nurse told me while I was waking up for surgery, so I just happened to remember it last night as I was trying to sleep. Anyway, I took my temp this morning because I'm not feeling very well, and sure enough, I have a 100 degree temp.

So, has anyone experienced a fever after your miscarriage or D&C? I will be calling the dr. once his office opens. I'm wondering if it is a sure sign of infection, or if something else could be going on. I feel like this road is never going to end.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I had a D&C just over 2 weeks ago and they told me that if i had a fever that it was a sign of infection and I should see my doctor.  I am so sorry you have to go through this. My thoughts are with you.

    I had a fever 5 days after D&E.  They changed my meds and did bloodwork.  My doctor believes I was just sick (and I agree), but it made me feel much better.  Call the doctor, no matter the outcome you will be happy you did.
