We had a D&C because we had no bleeding and they obviously couldn't tell when it was going to start. My bub was 12weeks old when it passed.
We did fall pregnant the next cycle but not because we were trying straight after the D&C.
I had my d&c 7 weeks after the initial miscarriage - there was hardly anything left, but I had been bleeding so long that I begged the ER doc who was doing the scan to just give me the procedure. Once he was happy that I understood the risks, he booked me an appointment for 2 days later. If you want the procedure now, talk to your OB and get him to book you in - there's nothing wrong with changing your mind hun
I had a D&C and got pregnant without AF or a full cycle in between (procedure was on 17 December and est. conception date was first week of Jan...) So I don't think you need to wait for a bleed...
Hi Mum2Romone I had a D&C after one miscarriage, I got AF on CD30 (normal) then ovulated then got another BFP. I then lost that one and didnt' have a D&C straight away. I was bleeding on and off for 90 DAYS! I kept thinking it would stop but it didn't so then ended up with another D&C. I was so annoyed that I'd wasted 3 months of ttc when it was already taking soooooo long Should I ever have another miscarriage again (and I pray to God that is never the case) I would just get at D&C straight away and move on. It's apparently a good thing anyway as it cleans you out ready for a new pregnancy.
