I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

I dont know what board this is appropriate to ask on so I apologize for being a Debbie Downer.

I have finally gotten my D&C scheduled for friday. I have a couple of questions for those of you that may have had one.

What was the recovery time?

Did you have to stay over or was it outpatient?

How long did you wait before you TTC again?

TIA

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

D&C is an out patient producer.
Most women take the next day off and are fine after that.
TTC again- it can depend on why you need a D&C.

You should call your doctor and tell him/her you have a lot of questions and need more explanation before Friday. HUGS

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

Quick recovery. Felt good physically right away, but bled for 3 weeks.

Outpatient

First period I was able to try again both times. (I had two.)

Sorry you are going through this. Good luck.

No advice... just

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

First I would like to say I am sorry that you are having a D&C on Friday

I just had a D&E last Thursday. Mine was a 2 day procedure and went home both days. I was tired Thursday - a little wiped out on Friday but otherwise okay. I have already stopped bleeding, but I have heard it varies for different women.

I have an appt with my OBGYN in a week and a half and I plan to ask how long before AF will rear her ugly head again. I'm not sure how long until we can TTC again, but we've made the decision to wait awhile.

Good Luck on Friday

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

I had a D&C on April 28th of 1993. Aside from a headache from the anesthisia I was up and around that night...

I got pregnant with my eldest daughter the very next month.

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

HAd a D&C on Friday. Was up and aeound that night. In at 10 out by 3 not bad at all. Stopped bleeding the next day and I see the Dr next week no sex for 12 days andI can try again right away. Dorry to hear you ar going thruogh this. It gets easier.

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

My recovery was a few short days. I remember not being too comfy when I sat, so you may need a cushion.

I was an outpatient, so I went in during the morning and was out by lunch.

We only waited a few weeks to TTC again and got preggo our 2nd try!!

I remember that DH wanted me to "cheer up" afterwards, so he forced me off of the couch and out of the house. He took me for a walk through Greenport which was the BEST way to refresh my mind

Re: I dont know where this goes but I have a D&C question

I had my D&C in the evening and was up and about the next day. There was mild/inconvient bleeding/cramping. I was an out patient and I was told to wait 3 months before TTC.
