Thanks ladies for all your support im having a doc appt today to see whtas happening about this bleeding.I do feel down at the moment but i hope to recover soon,i hope next year can bring me another baby to fill my heart.
It seems i have some placenta still stuck in me,i have to have a D&C tommorro im kind of scared about it will it affect me trying for another bub?Will i be able to work the next day?how long will it take for the blleding to stop once i have had the OP?Have you heard of anyone getting pregnant straight after a D&C? Sorry i just want another baby so bad i dont want anything to go wrong.
Dearmum,
I had a D&C done when I had a laparoscopy some years back. From memory it was very uncomfortable. You would proberbly need to take the rest of the week off.My bleeding lasted about as long as my period which is 5 days. Ive also been told that a D&C can aid conception as the uterus has had a good clean out. Not sure though. I waited a couple of cycles and then TTC, But talk to your doctor about it. They will know whats best for you physically and when its right for you to TTC.
Goodluck sweetie
dearmum, so glad you went to the doctor for a checkup. At least you know why you had the prolonged bleeding now. Hope all went well today with your D&C. The procedure is fairly simple - 10-15 minutes but you will need a few days to recover as you'll feel tender for while. The bleeding will probably last a week or so - for me it was a few heavy days then tapering off to spotting - much like a period. Take care and good luck on your TTC journey. Do take some time for your body to heal though - personally I would wait for one normal period before TTC. You need to make sure your HCG levels hit zero also - I think from memory having retained placenta can keep your HCG level elevated as the body still thinks its pregnant - ask your Dr about this.
Big hugs x

Thanks ladies for your ongoing support its been very rewarding for me.Today i had myD&C and im already feeling positive im no longer stuck,i have also been lucky and had no pain so far.I was told by my doc when i had my baby that i can try again once i get my AF but because i have been bleeding for 8 weeks i never got my AF so im now keen for this to finish up and get another AF so i can start a new IVF cycle,my cycle will start on my first day of AF.Yeh i feel such a relieve now that i have had my D&C and i just want to say thanks for suggesting it to me because i kept waiting for my body to come back good on its own but now i feel gosh lucky i went in and had a check because they said i could have got infected and it would of never came out by its self.
