I was very sceptical about what to expect pain wise. The mst uncomfortable part was the pre-meds they gave me which was misoprostol, it bought on period like pain, but it was only mildly uncomfortable. I barely had so much as period pain afterwards, no pain relief needed. I used a wheat pack for a day or two after and that was all I needed. Oh and the bleeding stopped after two days, not to say that's common but things returned to normal very quickly.

I totally understand your need to get back to ttc, I was the same. Thankfully I am now pregnant again, and fell quickly. My d&c was on 5th June and I got my BFP on 1st September. I'm now 6 weeks and having my first scan this week.

If I can offer any advice, it would be to ask your GP for a follow up scan after your cycle has returned after the d&c. I felt the need to make sure everything was working again, and was fortunate to time the scan with developing follicles. The sonographer was able to tell me that I was definitely about to ovulate again, and that the lining was building up nicely. It gave me peace of mind that conditions were good if we had conceived straight away.

All the best for your d&c, recovery and your ttc journey.
It is a very emotional time, so be kind to yourself and take time to grieve your loss in whatever way you need.
