Re: When does cramping subside post d & c?
Mine came and went. Are you taking anything to slow the bleeding (I was given methergine)? My doctor told me that it will cause the cramps to get worse, but stop the bleeding. If you are taking something like that maybe try going without it and see if it helps.
I had my D&C on a Wednesday and had bad cramps the following Tuesday worse than I probably had them the whole time - but I think it was just my body getting rid of the last of it since I went to the doctor the next day and my uterus was clear and the bleeding pretty much stopped.

I'm not taking anything nor am I bleeding much. I guess if it doesn't subside after a week, I'll call.
thanks

Re: When does cramping subside post d & c?
From what I've read on here I think everyone is so different.
I had my D&C on Friday as well and have had very minimal cramping and no bleeding at all.
Just depends on your body I think.
I do think the cramping is normal though so I don't think it's a need to call the doctor. Mine said to call if only I was bleeding heavier than a period.
I see my OB in 2 weeks.
