Had a D&C last week and now pregnant!

I had a D&C last week as I had two cycles in which I bleed for a long time and the OB wanted to have a look and take a sample, and now I am pregnant, which means I was pregnant before the operation!!
Went to the GP for blood test yesterday to confirm and she took it all very seriously and spoke to my OB and they gave me blood tests and sent me for internal scans as they were worried that I may have had an ectopic pregnancy. Thankfully they could see development in the womb and not the tube. Though I am still in very early stages and there is no heart beat yet, but my Hcg levels were 7000 which was good.
Ahh drama. So what must have happened is that the egg etc was in the tube coming down when I had my op, so it didnt get cleaned out. So last night I thought all the drama and doctors appointments were over for a lottle while and I could enjoy being pregnant, but no, today I bled so have to go back out to the OB tomorrow!! Ahhh.
A little nervous!
Anyone else had an D&C to find out they were pregnant before hand?

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.

Best of luck!

Congratulations. I hope you have a H & H pregnancy.

Thank you everyone!
Well I went back to see my ob the day after bleeding and he seemed to think all was good. He then sent me for another blood test just to check and last night he called with the result. A strong 7000 HCGs which is great! So was able to smile and have a much better weekend.
He still wants to see me again in 2 weeks for another check, scan and blood test. if all goes well after that then he says I can go on to be normally pregnant which would be nice, rather than all these check ups, tests and scans etc.
Wow and I am only at 4 weeks!!

What alot of drama for you to go thru! But it'll be all worth it in the end. Congrats and heres to a h and h PG!!!

wow congratulations :D wishing u a very happy and healthy pregnancy

7000 is very high for 4 weeks. Are you sure that's all you are?

Why did they do a d&c on you in the first place. Where you pregnant? What was the reasoning for a d&c.

Didn't you say your hcg level was 7000 on your 4/10 post and then 7000 on your 6/10 post? As someone said these are high for 4 weeks unless of course there is multiples, but I would have expected your 2nd hcg level to be considerably higher as they are meant to double every 48 hours????

Actually my levels were sign higher, I just got it wrong in my post.
I had the first D&C approx 6 weeks ago as I had two cycles in which I bled for most of the cycle. I went to a gyno for the first time on the Monday and he said he thought he should do a D&C to have a look and take a sample to see if there was any reason for it. The issue is, I told him we were trying to conceive, yet he didn't do a blood test. Hence, I was actually pregnant when I went in. I think the egg must have been travelling down the tube or was just missed in the D&C...not sure. But was def pregnant a few days after! Hence didnt need to operation or the emotional rollar coaster it since has bought! Esp as when I found out I was preg they thought it might have been ectopic so was in for lots of tests.
I actually ended up miscarrying last week at 8 weeks due to a Blighted Ovum so was back in the hospital for a D&C on Thurs. Was all a lot more emotional than I thought it would be though feel better today than I have since I found out last Wed. Good news is, all works, so we will try again when we can!

Thinking of you:hug:

Sorry that it ended the way it did. But hey, As you said, now you know it all works it'll only be a matter of time before it happens again!
Good luck for next time.

sorry to hear your sad news, sending you a big hug.

Thank you girls!
