lost the baby, having suction d&c this afternoon

Today I was 9w3d pregnant, had an u/s and there was no heartbeat. They believe the baby died two weeks ago. I have not had any spotting/bleeding so I"m having a suction d&c this afternoon...i don't know what to do, im numb. this was my 4th pregnancy and we have 1 beautiful daughter, 3 miscarriages.  Why us again!?!?!? Seriously again!?! Hasn't our family been through enuogh with my dad's cancer and then when we all have something to look forward to it comes crashing down again. what the F**K! I"m so angry and sad and fustrated...now what? I"m an OR nurse and do suction d&c's all the time but what do i expect after? will i be crappy? will i bleed a lot? any info would help!

thanks

Once you HCG returns to below 5, your body will ovulate again sometime after that... and then you should get your period 2 weeks after..

You dont need to get your period again to get pregnant technically.

Your period occurs after the egg isnt fertilized....  Some people ovulate as soon as 2 weeks after their d&c... others take longer because it can take a while for your HCG to drop depending on how far along you are, what your HCG was before the d&c, etc.

you said you didn't get your period after your d/c but you got pregnant right away? does your body think that the d/c is like a period so you will ovulate in the next couple weeks after the procedure?  to be honest my husband and i haven't really talked about what we want to do yet. this was my 4th pregnancy and we have 1 daughter. this has been the most emotional one for me...i think its b/c on the u/s i could see the little baby, arms and all and then no heartbeat...i cna't get that picture out of my head. i feel so numb and then i just can't stop crying. i find myself rubbing my stomach alot and wishing this was alll a dream..

TO: SAV1987:: DD is dear daughter. DS dear son. OR operation room

I got pregnant a month after my second mc. With my first I waited and got on the pill but within 2 months of stopping I got preggers. I had a D&C with both Mc's.
I hope you feel better sweety. Things will get better and I hope you get you BFP's.
