Pain after m/c

Kary♥RN · #1 May 10th, 2009, 08:51 PM

I am going to be making an appt for my doc this week.. either for a BFP or my yearly pap.. either way I will be calling.
But I wanted to find out if I am the only one feeling pain.

Since my first cycle after my M/C that would have been March 12th I have only about 10-14 days of not feeling some kind of pain. I get the AF cramping a few days before.. 2-3 days of pain and 2-3 during.. and than I have a few days of NO pain (when I say a few 5-6) Than I go into what I think is Ovulation pain.. this lasts for about 5 days.. than I have no pain for (5-6) than I start back up for AF.
Now this pain is not doubled over can't do anything.. and its not constant... It comes and goes... sometimes a few hours, sometimes the whole day.

It is a cramping/pulling/sharp/aching/sometimes a spasm.. Not all at the same time... af cramping... ovulation sharp.... pre af spasm...

Since your m/c is anyone else feel like they are constianly in pain?

Between this one and the last one, I definitely did. I have my yearly right before the second pregnancy, and I mentioned it... I was wondering if it was my uterus or something just not quite back in the right place... I don't know. My OB wasn't worried since my period had been normal to heavy (I guess light period with pain indicates a problem). But I'd love to know what your OB says.... it just didn't feel right.

I had some pulling, jabbing pain after my m/c on the right side. And, it got worse the cycle I got my BFP. I was nervous something was wrong. Nope, all normal I guess. Hope you get some answers. And, I really hope the answers include a BFP!

I have been feeling the same thing for the past week. I have not had a cycle yet, but was going to call my doctor today. Is sometimes the pain around where your ovaries are? Like when you ovulate but sharper?

I remember having pain for several months after the d&c. I just felt sore on the inside. It was weird, but after a while it went away. I had normal af's and cycles and after a few cycles I felt back to "normal." I don't know if it was healing and that causes pain? KUP when you visit your dr.

I will be interested to hear if they tell you anything. I have been feeling the same thing. Only a few days per cycle that I feel nothing. Used to be I hardly even got AF cramps and now I am getting twinges/pulls/cramps through out the cycle. I have been trying to tell myself it is just that I am more obsessive about every little thing but I will be happy to hear them give you good news

I still have pain during the whole cycle. Like you I only have 1 or 2 days without any kind of pain. I asked the doctor about it and she said that it is normal the first few months and it could take up to 6 months for me to start getting back to normal.

Kary♥RN · #8 May 11th, 2009, 08:05 AM

Missy YES!!! The pain is around the ovaries... much like ovulation pain .. And it can also be around the low part of mu uterus.

THANK YOU!!!! I was starting to think mentally I had something wrong with me. I kept telling my dh and he would ask is this normal? I would say it never happened before... I am just always in "pain" but not bad pain... enough to know something was happening.

Kary, that is exactly what I am feeling. I thought I was going crazy too. It's around my ovaries and the pain is especially bad during and after O time. Last cycle I thought my ovaries were going to explode. This time it's not as bad. Maybe our insides are supersensitive right now. I just hope it goes away.

Once after my loss I was hurting so bad I told my DH to have the dr's check my uterus if I passed out. I felt like someone was poking me with a hot knife. I never did find out what caused it (it went on for 2-3 days with one day being the worst) but looking back I think I had a cyst on my left ovary. I got pg a few weeks later and when I had my ultrasound they couldn't find anything on my ovaries so I believe the cyst had healed by then.

I am feeling all of everything you are feeling. For some reason the past hour has been horrible. I took 2 tylenol but it hasn't helped at all. Right now it hurts more than after the D&C. My hormone levels are back to zero so I don't think anything is seriously wrong with me.

I never got AF cramps before, If this is what girls go through I feel horrible for all of you!

missy123 · #12 May 11th, 2009, 02:01 PM

I posted this 11 days ago on the loss board but no one has experienced this. Have any of you had cramping for this long? I was fine 3 days after the D&C and now today it is getting worse: (It is now 4 weeks after the D&C)

I have terrible cramping today. I am one of the lucky ones that never cramps before AF. I had the D&C on 4/11, I think I O'd on 4/21 and I am clockwork on a 21 day cycle. I know that after a loss that your cycle is off so I don't think it is AF. At my 2 week check up all was great, my uterus was fully back to normal. I don't have a reason to think anything is wrong but the cramping is very uncomfortable.

Has anyone else experienced this 2+ weeks after a D&C?

After this post it went back to the pulling and tugging and the pain in my left ovary. Now today it is back to the cramping again.

Me me me!! I had a lot of pain for up to a couple months after my D&C. But the first month was the worst. About 3 weeks after my D&C, I felt up to starting to work out again. I went running on the treadmill and all of a sudden got the worst pain/cramps I have ever gotten before. I almost collapsed and was literally doubled over with pain. I couldn't even sit up, I was just curled in a ball. My husband had to come pick me up because I couldn't drive. That was by far the worst day and the pain and cramping did slowly go away. It is wierd though that I get cramps during and right before my period since my last loss. I NEVER got cramps before.

KDD · #15 May 11th, 2009, 04:11 PM

I didn't have a D&C but my first 6 -8 cycles after my loss I had much stronger cramps than ever before. Even my legs would ache.

missy123 · #16 May 11th, 2009, 04:19 PM

I am sorry that we are all feeling/felt these cramps and at the same time you all made me feel a lot better. Thanks!

It's been 12 weeks since my D&C I had pain for about a month and this month I am feeling sore in my lower abdomen since O time let me know how you go goodluck.

i hope you starting feeling painfree soon!!!! HUGS

taralyn · #19 May 12th, 2009, 07:46 PM

wow Kary...you read my mind. I am starting to wonder if theres something up with me too, because ever since my D&C I have been having "pain" though out my cycle too. Some times its like a little shooting/stabby pain on my right side (i've been hoping it's o pain but the dates don't really compute since it's all cycle long) and i'll start getting pain af like cramps a couple of weeks before af is supposed to show. Please tell me what your Dr says cuz i'm on the verge of making an appointment myself!

missy123 · #20 May 14th, 2009, 09:02 PM

Kary,

How are you feeling? My cramping got so bad today and AF is stronger than I can remember since I was a teenager.

I am thinking of going to the DR tomorrow.
