waiting for af after d&c

tinkerbek

hello ladies! Well i'd come by here in January and introduced myself. I was 36 and had been ttc my first child since November. I got my BFP on valentine's day and was thrilled of course. I was honestly feeling a little guilty for getting one so quickly, after reading all you beautiful women's stories about ttc. I was thrilled tho of course. anyway went to the doc to get my 8 week sonogram and the baby had no heart beat. i was devastated, obviously. So THAT'S what that feels like. ouch.Ive had several friends go through this and never fully understood how much it hurts your heart.

 I got a D&C 1.5 weeks ago and have my follow up appointment on Friday. the cramping was bad for the first few days but it's gone now. i only bled the day of then that stopped. To make matters harder on me, my best friend found out the say after me that she was also pregnant. Now i'm having a really hard time talking to her about hers. Any thoughts on how to deal with that?

 Also wondering how long it's taken any of you to get af after the d&c? I started temping again but it's all over the place.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I had a D & C in July 2012 when we found out at 8 weeks our babies were not viable (no heartbeats).  My AF came back four weeks after the surgery.  The first AF was light probably bec

I had a D&E in November at 14 weeks. The week after, I learned that one of my good friends is pregnant. I work with her and see her growing belly daily. At first it was really difficult to see her and talk about it, but it has gotten much easier. On t

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I have had two DCs now and both times my body went completely out of whack. My problem was that the bleeding never stopped. The first time they put me on bc pills for two months and that put me back into a normal cycle.

I had a miscarriage at about 7 weeks in December and had a D&C, and it was about 4 weeks before I got my period again.

I am so sorry for your loss....I have had two miscarriages, but I haven't had a D&C, just natural....so, no advice in that regard.....just, understand the loss and the healing processs....and, that you should allow yourself to heal in the time that

 I had a miscarriage last June. The first month was the hardest. Then it got a little better.  Then the month came when our baby would have been born and our good friends and my sister-in-law both had babi
