I had retained tissue (which they didn't find in 3 post op ultrasounds) which I expelled two months after my procedure...I had weekly blood draws to monitor my hcg as well. I'm praying that you don't need another surgery and your body takes care of what it needs to. hugs! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810770 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 06:05:27 +0000 LovelyPlum 1810770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: oh, I am so sorry :( Love to you :heart:</p> <p>@simplyfelicity: I am glad that it went well.

So many D &amp; C s this week. It's great to have this community of others who understand what I am going through but I hate hate hate that we have all endured this. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810701 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 22:53:56 +0000 simplyfelicity 1810701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: I did, they advised against conscious sedation for some reason. I haven't had any adverse effects from the general, so it seems like a really solid way to go. I am pretty tired but nothing remarkable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810678 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 22:03:37 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1810678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: My heart breaks for you, sweetheart. :crying: I hope that this is able to be resolved for you without more surgery. Take whatever time you need to heal and please let me know if there's anything I can do or say to help. :heart: :goodluck: :heart: I'll be thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810665 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 21:51:04 +0000 mrs bunchy 1810665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow-</p> <p>I have been MIA. Last Tuesday I went in for my 7week ultrasound and the heartbeat we saw a week prior was gone; the baby stopped growing. This was m/c #3. I was and still am an absolute mess... I had a d&amp;c Thursday (1st two were natural, and I just couldn't put my body through that pain again). I had NO bleeding or cramping until Sunday. Sunday I had unbearable pain and was curled up; at this point only bleeding a small amount. I called the OB first thing this AM and got in to have a follow up. She did an u/s and I have a clot and some retained tissue. Obviously this can happen because it is a "blind" procedure and my heart shaped uterus doesn't make this all an easy task, plus my cervix is tiny tiny - that even tore and I needed stitches! </p> <p>Anyways- had to take a medicine tonight and tomorrow to start contractions to try to expel the tissue; otherwise I may have to have another d&amp;c, which I couldn't even imagine. </p> <p>So- for anyone wondering, I took a few days away from everything and everyone to try to heal my heart. Hopefully my body can do its thing and I can physically heal. Had a boat load of blood tests since the news of the m/c and am awaiting results.<br /> Xo to anyone else having to go through this. This is so unfair, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810663 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 21:48:16 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1810663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: So glad. :heart: You got general?</p> <p>@jaguar: :goodluck: &amp; :heart: to you today!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: Thank you! :heart: :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810520 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:11:55 +0000 LovelyPlum 1810520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @jaguar: @FliegepilzHut: so much :heart: to you all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810518 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:10:12 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1810518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @jaguar: sending you both lots of love and prayers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810510 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:01:04 +0000 jaguar 1810510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: We are heading off now, but the procedure is probably not until this afternoon. :( Did you take drugs to help your cervix dilate first? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1810509 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:00:14 +0000 simplyfelicity 1810509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for the well wishes.

I just wanted to make sure everything healed appropriately.</p> <p>After my other 2 natural miscarriages, I waited a month after the first one and I just had my second natural (4th overall) last week. I'm headed to a specialist next week to determine next steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1809694 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:00:24 +0000 Pancakes 1809694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SimplyFelicity: I had a d&amp;c for a blighted ovum almost 2 years ago (Nov. '12). I was told to wait 3 months, which I did...but I feel like the recommendation was more for emotional healing than for physical healing. I think it was about a month after the surgery before I had my first cycle. Also, I didn't read all the comments but I had general anesthesia...and before my d&amp;c I would have told you that general anesthesia was one of my greatest fears in life...but I really am glad that I was completely knocked out, and I would choose that again if I had to (AND, how embarrassing...the anesthesiologist was the parent of one of my students, so I had to discuss my options with him, hospital gown and all...). Hugs to you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youve-had-a-d-amp-c/page/2#post-1809647 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:46:29 +0000 simplyfelicity 1809647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: I am so incredibly sorry you have had to endure this. I cannot even imagine your loss. :heart: </p>
