    Not me but my friend had fibroids removed and was still feeling unwell for a while afterwards and it turned out she was JUST pregnant when they operated. She was a bit concerned but had a healthy baby girl 4 months ago.

    Good luck!!!!

    Fingers crossed!! I'm sure it will all be fine.

    Can I ask a question? Did they do a pregnancy test before the D & C? Or was it to early to detect the pregnancy?

    We were told to make sure we took precautions after AF and before any of my ops just so that there was no chance of a pregnancy.

    I hope it all goes fine at the OB tomorrow.

    Thank you girls
    Havent worked out how to reply individually!
    Thrilled that your friend had a healthy birth.
    In regards to the preg test beforehand, I actually believe my OB should have taken one. It was all very rushed with me seeing him on the Monday for the first time and have the op on the Tuesday. I told him I had a preg test with my last cycle at the GP who was trying to diagnose the problem. For some reason he didnt think he needed to do another and I really didnt think that I was preg, so I didnt push it. I was just thrilled to be having an D&C so that I could be tested and find out if there were any issues. probably should have been clearer with the doctor and explained that I wasnt fully bleeding but it was just spotting for the 16 days. But he could have asked more questions. My results came back normal, and as he mentioned last night, the pregnancy has fixed everything anyway, esp if the extended bleeding was hormonal.
