Ladies, i had a miscarriage and had a d&c 2 weeks ago.
I didnt bleed for 2 days after the procedure but on the 3rd day i noticed blood when i pee. I wear a sanitary pad every day but the bleeding is minimal and only when i wee. it doesnt come down.
its been 11 days and im still bleeding. Is this normal? When will it end.
the doc told me last week that if it doesnt smell, pain or become heavy i shouldn't worry but seriously how long could this last? i have no one to turn to.
Any advice?

First let me say I am sorry for your loss. I am going thru a similar situation. I had my d&c on monday september 10th. the first few days I had very little bleeding, only noticed spotting when I wiped after going to the bathroom. Then by friday nothing for 2 and 1/2 days. Sunday night I started bleeding heavier. Actually need a sanitary pad. I have been like that since sunday. I go back to the dr next week for my two week post op check up, but my doctor told me that I could have bleeding for up to two weeks or more after the d&c, and that unless I was having to change my pad every hour for a few hours in a row that I would need to see the dr or go to the er. otherwise bleeding or spotting was normal for a few weeks after. I am so confused along with you. I actually hoped that since I stopped bleeding, then started again so I was hoping that it was my first cycle already, but I am sure that is not true and that it is just from my d&c. I don't know if any of this helps you, but I am just hoping that sharing my story you will be able to find some similarities and some comfort knowing you are not alone in going thru this. If you ever need to talk Im here for u.

Missy im so sorry you have to go through this aswell i wouldnt wish it on anybody. Your message actually brought tears to my eyes. I am having such a bad day so far and its only 8am! Im so comforted to know im not alone and im just so sick of this? Why do we have to be put through this? I wish you all the best honey and please let me know what your doc says after your appointment. I went to state hospital and they didnt even give me a follow up date to come back so they arent even bothering to do a check up. Im so fed up.

I am glad to know that my story has made you feel not so alone. this is just such a dark time in a womans life, it is important to know you have support. I know how hard it can be trying to talk to the people in your life about the things that you are feeling, so just know that you always have a shoulder here to lean on if u need it. I am sorry you are having a bad day. Im here to talk if u need it. I will keep u posted after my dr visit, thanks for taking an intrest. Please keep me updated as well. Have you considered finding an OBGYN to make an appointment with to have a check up? maybe get some questions answered? let me know if there is anything I can do to help

Thanks Missy. After this whole ordeal i decided to take out a medical insurance and unfortunately i can only start using it as of the 01 Nov so if the bleeding hasnt stopped by then i will go and see a doctor. Thank you for kind words and its true, it really is a dark time. I find myself not being able to control my emotions and yesterday i lashed out at my son who is only 5 :( i feel even worse now. I need to beat this and get through this. Im damaging relationships left right and centre because i cant deal with what im feeling. All the best for you today Missy. Wishing you love, light and happiness. Will await to hear from you re your doctors visit x
