BG I also had a d&c with a lap - and I had time off only for the muscle soreness from the lap puntures, no cramping at all related to the d&c. Only pain I had was relating to the gas and shoulder tip pain. To be honest, the night of the d&c I woke up to a granny nappy size pad, and more blood than I have ever seen in my life - but by the next day, it was pretty light - nothing even like normal period flow for me, by 2 days post op, it was virtually nothing at all.
Hope that helps a bit.
