How did you feel after D&C?

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I had my D&C on Wednesday and was just spotting for the first few days. Yesterday I was very bloated and crampy (I looked like I was pregnant!) In the middle of the night I started to bleed, not heavy like soaking through pads, but definitely more than spotting. I also feel a little dizzy today and don't know if it is just my pregnancy hormones dropping or what. I did call my doctor, but am waiting for a call back...so I thought I would see what experiences you ladies had.

    A large majority of women don't start bleeding (besides spotting) or passing tissue until 3-5+ days after the surgery. It's pretty common. Just keep relaxing and taking care of yourself.
    Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

    **siggy warning**


    I did not start bleeding until 6 days after my d&c, I then bled until day 14 post d&c. I had a bit of spotting starting at day 4.
    As for the dizziness, I suppose it depends how dizzy you feel, have you been making sure to eat well and drink enough the past few days? Are you on any pain killers that could be causing the dizzy feeling?  I had some cramping off and on for about a week as well as lower back pain.

    I spotted for a couple of days after mine, then started getting some very heavy bleeding. I bled on and off over two weeks. Unfortunately it's normal :( keep in touch with your doctor though, it's better to be safe than sorry

    I felt fabulous the day of, thanks to Percocet, which I was very sensitive to since I have never had any type of pain killer like that.  Then I felt progressively worse until Sunday when I had a few cramps that were very similar to contraction and extremely painful.  I had a little more discharge Sunday than the other days.  Today I feel pretty good.  I did have a sweating/hot flach episode when I was out shopping that I am attributing to the crashing hormones. 

    I should add I had a D&E not D&C, so that might be why I have not had much bleeding.  Also my doctor had me taking a medicine to help my ute shrink down.

    Dizziness could be from the hormones or pain medicine/antibiotics if you're on them.  I had a lot of dizziness as one of my pregnancy symptoms.

    Hope you feel closer to normal soon.

    Thanks ladies! I think the hormones dropping is messing with me. Hope all of our levels get to zero soon :)
