AF started

taatie10 · #1 November 14th, 2008, 07:27 PM

Well AF should start this weekend, which will be my second after D&C. I sure hope that it is not as heavy and long as the last, that was just so abnormal for me

Once this one comes that is 2 down only 2 more to go until I am cleared by my Dr to TTC :bluecheiter:

It seems to be going by so slow sometimes but other times it seems to be going by fast.

Question for you...how long did you bleed after your D&C? I spotted/bled "normally" after my D&C. Then, I stopped. Now, only 2 1/2 weeks later, I'm bleeding and cramping again and it looks and feels like a period. But, I think that's way too soon to count. Anyway, just hoping someone had some advice for me.

Also, congrats on knocking down another month till you can TTC!

Thanks!

Yay, I'm glad you are getting closer to being able to ttc! My first af after my d&c was long and heavy, 8 days. Then the second one was completely back to normal for me, normal amount and normal length. I hope that happens for you as well!

I am glad you're getting closer! Hope this AF isn't too mean to you!

Hopefully this will be a normal one for you. I didn't have a d&c, so I am unable to answer your questions...but yay for being almost back to ttc!

It's been 6 months since my D&E and my periods are still heavier than what they used to be. I can't remember if this happened after the birth of all my kids though. It could be a normal way for our bodies to react to what's happened.

After the D&C I stopped very lightly for maybe 3 days then stopped. Then a week or two later spotted for a day then nothing till my cycle 6 weeks after. My first cycle was the heaviest I ever had. IT was crazy but I guess that is normal.

My Dr says some people get their period real soon after some it takes them 6 weeks like me.

I didn't have a D&C as they felt I delivered everything normally. However I will tell you I bleed from March 20th till around April 1st or 3rd or something like that (more like heavy spotting the last few days. Then I started up again on the 5th. My doctor believed that it was my first period after. But it has been kinda very all over the place since then.
