Still clots after d&c? (TMI)

HenHen25 · August 2012

So my d&c was last Wednesday and I've had almost no bleeding. Yesterday I thought it was totally done. But this morning when I peed, I passed a larger clot (slightly bigger than a quarter) and I'm back to cramps. Normal?

Could be your body passing some remaining tissue. Not uncommon. I can't speak to the cramps but I passed a large clot with a sudden heavy amount of bleeding a couple weeks after my D&C. If concerned, I would call your doctor. Luck to you!

Completely normal.
For lack of a better phrase, it takes some time for that stuff to loosen and jiggle its way out. As long as your not bleeding super super heavy a pad an hour don't worry about it unless it continues for weeks. You will probably have spotting for a while, I think I spotted for 23 weeks following also completely normal.

You spotted 23 weeks or 2-3 weeks?

I bled lighty for the first 3 days then spotting for 3 days then nothing on the 7th day. I woke up on the 8th day with cramps and passed 4-6 clots 3 the size of dimes and the other 3 were huge. My bleeding died down the next day or so and I have officially been spotting for almost 4 weeks.

My D and C was on the 17th and I spotted for 3 days after and then on the 4th day I randomly passed a bunch of clots, I was getting nervous because it just seemed like it kept coming out after an hour or so it stopped and then I woke up in the night with one more bout of it. It all looked like it was old blood that had just been sitting there, I had no bright red blood at that time. So I waited it out and it ending up stopping. Ever since I will have nothing for a day then the next day I will spot brown a little bit. My 2 week follow up appt is thursday so we will see what my doctor has to say.

2 to 3 weeks

I had minimal bleeding right after the D&C, but on day 5 I had horrible cramping, almost contraction-like, along with clots. It lasted about a day. Then back to minimal bleeding until day 15, when I passed a lot of clots with minimal cramping. So far, after that I've had no more bleeding. I think it must just take a while to pass everything.

I had a D&C last wednesday, I had a little bit of discharge for 2 days after, on the 3d day I had bad cramping and started bleeding. I called my Dr today and the nurse said I was getting a period and no telling when I would get my next one. I'm praying that it is 28 days from this past sat.
