Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Delayed effects of a D&E

Hi ladies,

I've posted a few times but now have a question of my own.  I had a D&E on Jan 25 and just had light spotting and was a little sore (no quick bending etc) but thought I was healing nicely.  Then on Tuesday Jan 29 I got horrible painful cramps and heavy bleeding with clots (sorry I know) and it's still going.  Now today I feel incredibly emotional.  Is my body just figuring out I'm not pregnant anymore?  Is is normal for this to take a few days after the procedure?  A little warning from my doctor would have been nice.

Thanks and I'm sorry for all of our pain.

Re: Delayed effects of a D&E

  • Its possible you tried doing to much but also watch for a fever.  It is always possible they didn't get everything and your body is trying to get it out.  It sucks it has to be a constant reminder of what you went through. 
  • I just had my procedure today and so far I've had very little spotting. This is very different from my from one where I had steady bleeding and some clots immediately afterwards. I'm not sure if this is normal but now I'm a little worried. Sorry I can't be of more help. I hope it stops soon for you.

  • Thank you both for your responses.  I guess I'm just going to watch my temperature and wait through the weekend and hope for everything calms down.  If not call the doctor on Monday.

     SA1112- I wouldn't worry too much yet everyone's healing is different.  I think the hormones hit me so hard this time because I had a blighted ovum and my body thought it was pregnant for 8 weeks then it was just gone.  The first time it started naturally so I had a more gradual hormone decrease. Get plenty of rest and I hope you heal quickly.

  • I had a bit of a different experience and ended up passing most of the clots at the hospital (tmi...after I puked, lots of clots/blood came out) Then there was a clot that wouldn't come out on its own, so I had to go back in for a second D&E a few hours after the first to remove the clot.

    Maybe you had a clot that was just stuck in there and hadn't come out until today.

    I'd call the doctor is any more clots pass, they might need to do an u/s to check and see if there's anything left in your uterus.

  • I had a D&C Monday and was okay pain wise until Wednesday night, when I woke up about every half hour with horrible cramps! I woke up again last night once. The heating pad has really helped me. Although I've had a couple of clots that seem related to the pain (tmi sorry), my OB says the pain is normal and could also be my uterus "adjusting" back to its normal size. My emotions were worst Wednesday too. I am trying to take comfort in the fact that it seems my body knows what to do, even if it is painful. Hope you feel better soon.

  • I had my D&C on Jan 11th.  I had very light spotting for a few days, then almost a week after it, I started passing clots. I would pass a clot or a few then bleed for a day or two.  This happened for about a week off and on.  My OB said it was normal and fine.
