Bleeding a few days after saline sonogram

KLake42 · November 2015

I know that it's normal to have some spotting and discharge immediately after a saline sonogram.

I'm worried that its been a few days (Friday). I didn't have any spotting on Saturday, but very heavy spotting and cramping yesterday and today. It's not as heavy as a period, but it's kind of heavy for "spotting."

No fever, no real pain, just mild cramps.

Yes, I put in a call to my doctor, but it always takes a while to hear back. I appreciate hearing from you guys, who have had experiences with this.

Normal?

I haven't had any experience with this but I sure do hope your doctor gets back to you ASAP (if they haven't already) and I hope everything is okay. Please keep us posted.

I hope everything is ok! I didn't have any spotting or discharge after my procedure. I actually think they gave me an antibiotic to take the day before, day of, and day after to help prevent any infections or issues. I hope your doctor calls you back asap! Try and take it easy in the meantime.

I had heavy cramping for about 7 days and a little spotting for about 4 days after. My doctor said it's totally normal and only to worry if I had a fever. Did they give you antibiotics ? They have them to me to fight off any possible infection

Thanks, y'all. I'm to be keeping an eye on it, and I'll call the nurse tomorrow morning with an update. If it's still happening (and it's happening this afternoon), they'll have me come in immediately for evaluation.

I wasn't given any antibiotics. I appreciate avoiding unnecessary antibiotics, but if there is an infection, I'd like to treat it.

I also had this weird experience... there was a trial transfer, then the saline sonogram. Then the doctor was going to use another speculum to go in for some sort of endometrium abrasion (scrape up the inside of my uterus a little, to maybe help with getting pregnant). But after the first two procedures, she couldn't find the cervix. She kept moving the speculum around, and shifted to a different one, and still couldn't get back to the cervix. Apparently, it decided to hide. So the nurse thinks I might just be bleeding due to trauma. Which sounds lovely, right?

But no fever, and I'll get examined tomorrow if it doesn't go away.
