  I had a D & C on Thursday last week..I too was nervous but for me it wasn't bad at all physically.  I went in the day before for pre-op and then got there an hour before surgery.  They put me under and the next thing I new I was awake.  I bled just that day and then spotted since.  I found out at week 11 and the baby stopped growing at 9 weeks.  I'm still really sad about everything but each day is getting better.  Advice tho: the dr said no sex for a week- and my DH & I (posted earlier) happened to get caught up in the moment on Saturday night after a few drinks and we didn't follow orders.  It didn't hurt at all but now I'm paranoid about infection.  I go back Friday- so far I don't have one but don't chance it because it sucks feeling this way about it.  However, the recovery wasn't bad at all- take it easy and lay around the day of and prob the next.  After that i felt pretty much normal.  GL!!!

  I'm so sorry for your loss.  It's a terrible club to have to join.  My d&c was a fairly simple procedure.  I was scared to be put under and for the anesthesia, but it was a very short procedure and I woke up feeling fine.  I had very little spotting and hardly any bleeding.  Physically my recovery has been a lot better than I expected.  Hopefully you'll be able to say the same soon.

  I haven't gone through a D & C so I don't have any advice, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss and that you're going through this.  (( Hugs ))  I hope it goes as well as it possibly can tomorrow, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

  I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I had a D&C two weeks ago; I think it's perfectly normal to be scared about going under. I had very minor cramps when I woke up, but other than that, no pain (physical pain at least).

  Again, my condolences.

  I am so sorry you're joining us.  I had my D&C on Thursday.  They put in an IV, gave me a bit of relaxing meds through the IV and wheeled me into the OR.  In the OR they put a mask on me and gave me gas to knock me out, and then they did all the anesthesia and the procedure.  I woke up in recovery.

  I had some spotting and then some light bleeding (only pantyliner worthy) and today I've only had faintly colored discharge.  I'm still having mild cramps, but I don't need meds for them.

  I hope it goes smoothly for you tomorrow.  Hugs!

  I haven't had a D&C (I will on Thursday), but I have had a D&E with my daughter. It wasn't bad at all. I remember talking to the doctor and then I woke it.Then I had  bleeding after (like a heavy bleeding. Honestly, the emotional pain was 10 times worst than the actually D&E.

  ((Hugs to you))

  So sorry for your loss. My D&C in February was my 1st surgery ever. The whole experience was as best as it could possibly go. Going under wasn't bad and the physical recovery was very easy. I had no pain and only had spotting for a few days. The hardest part was just before the procedure, and it was more of an emotional thing, knowing that although it was over...it is now really over! Hugs and best of luck!

  Sending you hugs for your loss.  I totally understand how you feel.  I had a D&C 3 weeks ago today. Since they were putting me to sleep, I couldn't eat or sleep like 8 hours prior.  I had to check in about an hour and a half prior to my appt at 8am, so I was there at 6:30 and I am NOT a morning person.  I remember being wheeled into the OR and spreading my arms out on the table and then I woke up.  I had a bad sore throat and neck pain afterwards.  I had to ask for a pad because I could feel myself leaking onto the bed.  I was able to leave maybe 30 mins to an hour after the procedure.  My dr advised me to be on bed rest for 24 hours immediately after and he wrote me a note to be off for a week to get my head and heart semi-back together.  Since I was put to sleep, I didn't feel anything and for me that worked better.  I didn't want to feel any pain. Everyone may be different. I'm so sorry this has happened to you, but the ladies on this board are truly amazing.

  I appreciated being completely knocked out for it. The trauma of the ultrasounds and doctors visits and blood tests clustered together was too much. The d&c was pretty easy as I wasn't aware of it. A couple of days after, I had heavy cramps and passed a lot of clots but I imagine this probably also happens with a natural mc. I appreciated that the pregnancy symptoms seemed to drop very quickly after the d&c.

  So sorry for your loss.  This is so heart wrenching.  I had a  chemical pregnancy last year April then a m/c back in January of this year which required no D&C. Waited 3 months and fell pregnant again this past April.  I had my 12 week u/s yesterday and saw immediately there was no heart beat and the baby was very small.  The tech kept checking, then went to get a high risk doctor who checked intra vaginally hoping they were missing something but my husband and I knew it was no longer a viable pregnancy. The baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks and 4 days. I had no signs of a miscarriage.  My doctor said this is a missed miscarriage.  How awful! 

  It's really tough when you know you did everything right had thorough testing and with everything coming back normal and feeling confident to ttc again for this to happen.  This is now my third pregnancy. I am so angry right now and so hurt and scared about having the D&C which is scheduled for next Tuesday.  I know with time we will all get through this and will go on to have successful pregnancies but in the moment it's hard.

  Good luck to all and remember positive thinking  and keeping the faith is very important for us to reach our goal.  My thoughts are with you all.
