I was not told anything from my nurse and am using tampons during a m/c is this ok?

deleted_user 10/19/2007

I'm not sure, i was told not to use them the first two weeks, or my first cycle both m/cs

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I recommend you call your doctor's office. Just logistically, I don't know if tampons will allow the miscarriage to be complete. IF it's incomplete (for any reason), D&C surgery might be needed.

generally what I have seen is not to use them. Probably because you are passing so many clots and other things.

deleted_user 10/19/2007

I believe you shouldn't use them during a miscarriage because there is a risk of infection during normal periods. Your cervix is open and dilated which can increase the chance of infection.

No. I've had 2 miscarriages and was told NOT to use them.

deleted_user 10/20/2007

we were told not to use them...but i had D&C so i dont knwo whether it was because of the D&C or mc. we were told not to use them during my next period either.

better to be safe than sorry i say...and use pads.

i have had two miscarriages and was told to definatly do not use a tampon.. a tampon absorbs everything up there.. you want to make sure it all comes out.. especially if you are passing clots.. there is always a chance of infection w/a miscarriage and if you use a pad (i know they suck) you reduce that chance of infection.

No tampons! Everything from your uterus needs to come out! If you keep it all in there with a tampon, you can get infections. As sucky as it is, you're going to have to wear pads! No tampons at all during this time

I didnt have a misscarriage but I was told NOT to use tampons until my 6 week check up after my son was stillborn. They had me use pads.

deleted_user 12/10/2007

No tampons, your uterus is open. You could get an infection. I hope you are OK. Sorry for your terrible loss.

deleted_user 12/10/2007

No tampons!!!

deleted_user 12/14/2007

sorry about your loss :(
...i was also told not to wear tampons...and i was used to always wearing them instead of pads...but after my m/s i was told to ONLY wear those yucky pads...which are completly uncomfortable to me...

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
