  I had a D&C in December, and experienced similar pain as what you're describing. I chalked it up to the "dilation" part of D&C, since they use a speculum to spread the vaginal walls and it's done for a much longer period of time than you're used to with a PAP smear. I didn't have any bleeding afterward (they flushed my uterus with saline after all was done), but did have light spotting the next few days and that was it.

  Me: 37 / DH: 41
  Due with baby #2: Feb 2022

  I had a missed miscarriage within almost 11 weeks, it started this past Tuesday. In the next day, my body expelled part of placenta and the undeveloped embryo. After talk with my doctor, I decided to take cytotec, it didn't work, lots of pain and bleeding... so, yesterday morning I had D&C. It was quick, I don't remember much since they put me down. The bleeding has decreased, still cramping and had to have a laxative this morning, I was miserable with horrible intestinal cramps. Like all the physical and emotional pain from this entire process are not enough 😔

  @1firstbaby I’m so sorry for your loss and the physical side effects to go along with it. Be gentle with yourself. Hopefully things get better in a couple of days physically.
