I got an infection after my D&C
I cannot believe that 7 weeks after my D&C that I was so unlucky and got an infection :( Ughhhhhhhh, it was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. It started with some light cramping and it slowly got worse and worse. By the 4th day it was mostly on my left side and I was doubled over and could barely stand up. I really didnt know what was up, I thought maybe a cyst. I went to the doctor and had a sono done and they said my tube was very swollen and they think I have an infection. Either from bacteria or any "stuff" that got left behind after the d&c. Weird thing is I took 14 days of antibiotic after the d&c and I had a follow-up sono to make sure everything was out.
So I guess this nasty infection spread up into my left tube which is where it hurt the most, but pretty much my whole lower belly hurt very bad and I had night sweats and could not sleep :( Oh and there was a bunch of fluid and stuff in my uterus which eventually came out (sorry tmi but I want to give you girls the details incase this happens to anyone).
So I was a mess and I took pain meds and 2 antiobiotics and it started feeling better after 2 days but I am still like - how did this happen 7 weeks after the fact????? Has anyone heard of this? Ughhhhh, I am glad it is over but I am worried about my tube now.
Oh and also they took a pap on me and took my blood to rule out ectopic but he is pretty sure it was an infection. I do have a follow up appt and am also seeing my new RE this week. I hope all is ok down there. I just feel like this is the last thing I needed

Re: I got an infection after my D&C
Do you girls find this to be odd or no? This much later in the game? I have another dr. I am seeing my RE and she is skeptical, she worries it is something else that has been manifesting for a long time.
Anyway thanks for your support.
