    Hi sugarfiend,
    so sorry for your loss
    I would get onto another Dr and get a better answer. Infections after D&C are normaly caused by a small amount of tissue left behind as when they do a D&C they cant see what they are doing and therefore it is possible that they may miss something. Im not sure if there could be any longterm effects of an infection but a lady that was in my belly buddy group lost her little boy at 20 weeks and she had bleeding for 6 weeks after birthing him. When she finaly went to Dr she had a little of the placenta remaining and that is what was causing the bleeding.
    I had a D&C in Nov last year, all went well and from memory I think I only bled for about a week but then I didn`t get a period untill about 6 weeks later.
    Hang in there and I hope it all works out for you.
    Take care.

    Thanks both for your kind words ladies. x

    Onemore - Do you know how she resolved the issue with the remaining placenta, did she have to have a second d&c or is there some other way to do it?...

    Absolutely worrying myself sick thinking that there might be something terribly wrong. Usually if something can go wrong for me it usually does...

    Hi Sugarfiend, its horrible when nothing seems to go right !!

    I think she did have to have another D&C. Sorry I know thats prob not what you wanted to hear.

    Are you still bleeding ? If you are get yourself off to the Dr and have it checked out Please.... hope it all gets sorted soon.

    Take care of yourself.
