2 week check up after D&C...any advice?

texasgirl76

I have my 2 week check up on Monday. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what questions I should be asking . I' m still not quite sure what kind of miscarriage I had. The paper work at the hospital said incomplete abortion. Does that mean missed miscarriage? I just having so many questions running thru my head I can't even narrow them down ( I hope that made sense!!)  Also, can anyone tell me what the follow up was like?  Thanks in advance!!

I had my check-up a week after my D&C. My doctor just asked some basic questions about how I was feeling, what my bleeding was like and if I had any cramping, fever, etc. He pressed on my abdomen a little too. The rest of my appointment was spent talking about our options for the future. Since this is my third loss I'm having some testing done and am starting baby aspirin and clomid to push up my ovulation date. Depending on your situation your doctor should let you know how long to wait before trying again and if you need to do anything else. I'd suggest making a list of all of your questions so you don't forget, I always end up leaving wishing I'd remembered to ask about something else.

I don't have any advice b/c I just had my D&C yesterday, so I'm actually interested in what people say too. 

They will probably be able to give you more details about what kind of miscarriage you had b/c they'll have the pathology results back. My dr thought I had a blighted ovum but would know for sure when I go back in two weeks.

I would say ask them ALL your questions, in this case I don't think there is a "stupid question" it's your body and I feel like knowledge is empowering when you're going through a loss.

I'll be thinking of you Monday.

I just had mine yesterday and my doctor just did a pelvic exam (and a pap since I was due for one anyway, but she asked if I wanted one just to save a trip). She asked me how I was physically and really focused on my emotional well being. I then got a prescription for BC and was told to wait at least 3 cycles (I had a blighted ovum and my HCG levels were so high she thought it was molar, but tests were negative for that).

Thank you all so much for your help!! This is all new to me and very scary!!

Will they do a pathology report if it was your first m/c??  I had a D&C but my doctor never said anything about a pathology report or doing any testing?  Also, our 2 week clearance to "be intimate again" would be on Thursday .. but we may have done it a bit earlier than that (last night) but we did use protection, are the chances of getting infection slim at this point?  My check up isn't until 3 weeks from my D&C (next friday is my check up).
