Hey guys,
I had a D&C due to the loss of my twins not almost 13 days ago . I picked this because mentally I could not keep waiting for a natural miscarriage as my twins had already been gone for 2 weeks and cervix was stil tightly closed and no bleeding had started . So anyway, 12-13 days ago they did it and for the first 6-7 days I barely had any spotting , light brown/super light rust if anything .. My dr said I could do wii fit/wii exercise games right away but nothing more .. The night b4 I started , I woke up to bright red heavy blood after a nap, and again in the morning.. i guess I was in denial because i just wanted to ignore the reminder that I had lost my babies and did the wii stuff.. I did wii active and just dance for 2 days in a row... it did not get worse but mnot better in those two days . I also went to the dr on the 7th days as I had issues with pain 6 starting on the 6th day . when i would relax my muscles to pee it would hurt.. they gave me anti biotics and 3 days later the pain was gone.. but now at 13 days it is still bleeding . it has not even reached the pad in two days but it goes from dark black/red blood with tiny tiny clots to pale red.. it seems heavy although i only see it when I go to the bathroom and then it seems like it is a mess .. I am in no pain, physicallly .. but I am worried as we want to try again ASAP, have to do IUI and have to wait on first cycle... I was told bleeding would last a week and then go to spotting and then period after 3-4 weeks... but it is still like a regular period and i am still getting small cramps.. again 12-13 days after the D&C .. Is this normal? if you don't mind sharing what were your recoverys from D&C like and how long did it take you to get pregnant ? Also sorry last one I promise, if you got pregnant after the first perios you had did the pregnancy go ok? Sorry for the spelling.. I can spell but I got new nails done because my husband thought it would cheer me up and now I can't type

I had moderate spotting for about 2 weeks after the d&c and it def came and went with activity. I would lay off the working out for a few days and see if it goes away. I am so sorry for your loss.

I bled off and on for about a month! Took me a couple months for AF to show and become regular!!
So very sorry for both of your losses..

Bleeding after a D&C is very random and strange. It freaked me out too! I had times where there was no blood and then I would suddenly have heavy bleeding. Then none, then more, for about a month... Very strange.... I ruined several pairs of undies....

I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs.

I had spotting for about 3 weeks after my D&C, nothing heavy and no cramps. I didn't get my first period for 11 weeks, and my cycles still aren't back to what they used to be. I think my recovery is out of the norm, though. I hope your body gets back to normal soon!

I had a very light period for about 10 days or so after the D&C. I didn't have any other issues at all... no cramps, no pain, notta. My first AF after the D&C took about 5 or 6 weeks if I am remembering correctly. Still haven't gotten pg (a year later) but then again I need MA to get pg to begin with & we just took a 6 mo MA break so I'm really not the person to ask there. My dr told me I HAD to wait 2 full cycles after the D&C before he would prescribe any meds so according to him you should wait about 3 cycles total. HTHs.

HUGS.... I am so sorry for your losses..

I had a d/e in Feb 09... We lost our heartbeat. When I went in for my Check up.. my Dr gave us the go ahead.. Your body won't get pregnant if it is not ready. Thier is no medical reason IF YOU ARE HEALTHY, and have no issues. They say to wait untill AF for dating the pregnancy. But with all the fancy u/s equipment they have now.. they can just do a dating u/s.. and be pretty sure when you concieved. HUGS.. I am so sorry you have to go through this. HUGS
