Can you use tanpons

[lilangel87123]

So I started yesterday and wanted to know if you can use tanpons or still have to use pads??? Please let me know what dr's have told you?

pads!!! my doctor told me not to put anything in my vagina for 6 weeks after the m/c including tampons. inserting things in there can cause infections and you dont want that. good luck with everything....

My doctor told me to use pads using my bleeding from the D&C.  He told me once I got my first period my body should be healed enough to use tampons.  I know how uncomfortable and "diaperish" (for lack of a better term) pads can feel.  I was very eager to get back to tampons.  Be prepared for a heavy period than you expect.

I agree with fairy.  I think most Drs advise to use pads when you have your first period following a miscarriage particularly if you have had a D&C.  I know they aren't nice but it cuts down on the risk of any infection apparently.

hi i just had the d&c this monday...they told me that i shouldnt use tampons, go swimming or have intercourse for the next 6 weeks. i dont know if you can use tampons when you have your first period, but me to be on the safe side i wouldnt.
