Hi, can someone help me? I had a d and c on october 3rd, I would have been 12 weeks. The dr said by us that the baby's heartbeat stopped at 7 weeks. I had slight spotting for a few days after d and c, (pink, then brown). Now I have cramps and am bleeding just like a normal cycle. Could it already be a normal cycle? I already called the dr, the nurse said as long as there were no clots that everything should be fine. I am ready to try again. I had a tubal reversal in March, 2008 and was pregnant in July.
hey jonisteve - i am very sorry to hear of your loss at 12 weeks re ur question, it wasn't so much after a D&C (pg related) but after my lap/hyst/D&C i got AF 2 weeks later. It wasn't til my DH alerted me to it (bless him!) that I realised I actually got that AF at the same time my normal AF was due. I know it is different cos u were pg previously but I have heard that other ladies have received AF early after a D&C too. If you were seeing my ob, he would say to wait another cycle before TTC again as usually you need a full cycle to clean and nourish the uterus before D&C (according to him). Other ladies previously on this thread have not waited and gone on to have successful pgs, others have not. My ob advised me to wait 2 cycles before I could TTC - it was the LONGEST 2 mths of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I got a BFP the cycle back after waiting. I don't know if this has helped at all but want to wish you the happiness you deserve after suffering this loss
BB & Jen - did I miss some chat yet again? *sigh* oh...and BB....I second Jen's motion on "hallucinations" -
There's only one thing for it...... I'm gonna have to change the kids over to night time care. That's the only way i'll be able to stay awake and chat with you girls (once I get java fixed). So much goes on during the night when I'm getting my beauty sleep (hang on, should be still there)
Jonisteve sorry that you've had to join us. I can't help with your question I didn't have a d&c with my m/c. As PLC says some drs want you to wait for one cycle others two, some say don't wait. I guess you have to do what feels right for you.
Smi - *wavin* thanks for the smiles you keep sending me. Love them
Chappas - have you been to see a dr, maybe a BFP will show up on a blood test.
Megsmum - all the best with you IUI . Sounds like you had lots of fun shopping.
Tam - thanks for the wishes but it isn't me that is in sync with my lunar cycle its Issy. Mine's the other end of my cycle, AF stuffed that one up on me a few months ago.
Jenushka - remember ZEN. you've got good results (and a great doctor). This bub is just showing you whose boss......
Well,,,,, I'd better get this place tidied up a bit before the kiddies come through the door, only 3 in today 2 x 2yo and 1 x 4yo. I might take them somewhere before they drive me crazy.
tks for the help. my husband works out of town during the week. so, i'll at least be waiting another wk.lol. i have my follow up appt. this thurs. i'm just in a little hurry cause i'm 44. don't want to wait too long. you know that the clock is ticking. i know that i was lucky to even get preg at this age after a tubal reversal. but, yes they do work and i was fertile before i have 4 boys 23-10. this is a new husband with no biological children of his own. we have been together for 10 years.
