Cramping post D&C

[kcrkcs]

I had mine on Monday and have felt pretty good up until today. Now I am bleeding quite a bit more although nothing shocking and cramping pretty badly, almost like what I would imagine contractions feel like, coming in waves etc. Is this a normal experience? I am guessing so, but since my previous experience was nothing like this one just looking for a little reassurance.

Mine was only yesterday, and cramping just set in today but is pretty severe. So I can't really speak to whether or not what you're experiencing is normal.. though if you're worried, I'd definitely call your doctor, just for peace of mind. I mainly wanted to say I'm sorry you're hurting. The physical pain on top of everything else just really sucks. (Hugs)

Thanks for responding! This makes makes sense and makes me feel better.

Just a PS in case someone comes across this with the same question in the future mistabinx you were right on. Cramps developed into passing some sizable clots. Good times.

I was eerily fine after my D&C, but my doctor had warned me that cramping and bleeding can last up to 2 weeks. I was told to just call if I was bleeding through a pad in an hour.

It's been interesting to hear how different every one's experiences can be. But it sounds like you are still in the realm of normal. I do hope the pain goes away soon.

Ann612 yeah my first one was nothing like this experience. I was totally physically fine right away. Just goes to prove no two experiences will be the same I guess!
