** TW This is thread will discuss D & C "stuff" **
I want to ask a few questions to post D & C moms whether it just happened or was a thing of the past. I'm not going to tag anyone in case they aren't feeling this today. This is going to be long. Sorry!
My D & C was Tuesday 3/28 so I'm 9 days past. I think I may be turning a corner here but I'd like to run a couple things by you guys because my follow up appt isn't until next week and I'm looking for more real world answers anyway.
Did you experience what I can only guess is hormonal changes post D & C? This sounds silly as I'm typing it but I didn't anticipate having some feelings (or lack there of) that felt a bit out of my control and wasn't like me in normal day to day. I was in the minority and wanted to have my mc happen at home so I knew my fate for almost two weeks and had time to process. I got very sad at the hospital but otherwise I had gone through my emotions and was ready to get the physical stuff over with so we could get this show on the road again.
Immediately after the procedure I was tired and a bit blank etc and rested for three days but 5 days after I was otherwise fine and then I just started crying out of nowhere. I wasn't even thinking about what happened or how I wasn't pg any longer, I was just walking down my stairs. That night I couldn't fall asleep, having night sweats weird dreams, etc. On 6 days past I was so not myself. It's not like I'm always coping so wonderfully with everything in my life but I didn't want to get out of bed, I was really tired, very hungry, poor concentration etc and more unexplained crying. That was probably the worst day. I felt like a ton of bricks. This is what was really off. 7 days and 8 days past I was extremely tired and oddly really hungry which is pissing me off because I'm immaturely angry about being up a couple pounds. (I know this is superficial but whatever I'm being honest. This is my safe space!)
I woke up today feeling better. This isn't an SOS post or anything.
At face value it probably seems like oh you are eating because you are sad, your tired from your emotions, you are crying because you just had a m/c but it's seems different than that. I had a m/c at 5 weeks between my two boys and while that wasn't a highlight of my life, I don't remember anything like this.
I'm just wondering if anyone else experienced this type of aftermath? If so, when did you start feeling like yourself (well your "new normal" self after this life event is a part of your story)? Extra credit if you remember when your period came back. I'm wishfully thinking maybe this hormone shift is my body trying to get back to normal.
TL; DR - were you hormonal post D & C?
