d and c question
Hi I had a d and c on June 13. I bled for about 1 and half weeks after that, then stopped. About a week later I began to spot. The Dr. said that she wasnt worried about that when I went in for a check in. Then I got what a thought was my period about a week after that (23 days after the D and C). I had my period for about a 5-6 days. Then it stopped. 2 days later I am spotting again. I feel frustrated. I don't know if that was really my period or something else? Nor do I know if it is normal to spot again after my period?
Thanks, the spotting has since stopped so that makes me feel better. This was the hardest thing that I have ever gone through and I just wanted it to be over, so I could start over. Sorry that you had to go through it to. Good luck with everything.
I've heard that after a miscarriage your cycles can be pretty messed up and nothing like what you are use to. I had a d&c on June 10 and I am still waiting for my first period and I am prepared for it to be unusual since that's what I keep hearing. They say you can get your 1st period anywhere from 3-8 weeks after your miscarriage or d&c so if you bleed for 5-6 days starting day 23 then it was probably a real period. As long as the spotting you are experiencing now is not heavy then you probably don't need to worry about it, but if you want to be on the safe side you could call and ask your doctor's office. Good luck.
