Anyone had to have a second d&c? (Update P4, been scanned & it's a botched D&C!)

[dan-o]

Had a terrible night, the cramps got so strong at 4am I could no longer sleep, I then started passing clots & fresh blood with each cramp. I was filling an extra thick pad every half hour, in fact at one stage I went right through one in ten minutes & soaked blood into the bed. Thank goodness I have a steam cleaner, yuck.

It eased up at about 7am & the cramps seems to have gone back to a dull ache.
My blood has gone back to medium/light flow. I'm going to ring the gyne ward direct today & if I get fobbed off again I plan to turn up at A&E next time I get an episode like this morning.

I'm so fed up & exhaused & poor OH doesnt know what to do with himself.

Gahhh, when will it end?

 

[dan-o]

I was just thinking, have you tried doing a digital test? I'd probably try one with the conception indicator and see what it says.

Great idea! I didn't think of that, I'll get some today! x

gosh how awful to get an infection,i never went bk after my dnc , didnt need to, but uknow wot eles? after my dnc i did a hpt and it was blaring negative uknow and i was as far as u, mmc at 12wk ............ takecare x

 

[dan-o]

I just called the ward & spoke to the nurse who looked after me when I had the D&C last week, small world. She said go right to A&E, now & the on call gyne will take a look.

So off I trot, I'll update when I get back xx

Good luck hun! Hoping that this is the end of the clots for you. You might be passing the rest on your own, and won't need the second d&c.

Sending positive vibes your way and lots of love.

 

[Schmelly]

I hope todteach is right and that it means you won't need the 2nd dnc. I really feel for you, it's terrible that you're going through this.

Big and let us know how you get on at the hospital

 

[dan-o]

I'm back!

Saw a wonderful gynacologist at the hospital today, he's run a whole load of blood tests, taken swabs for infection & did a very thorough examination.

My cervix is closed now (& my bleeding had stopped again- typical!) so he thinks I've either passed the tissue, or it's just clamped up again to contuinue the 'pregnancy', in which case I will definitely need a second D&C. There is also the possibility it's not pregnancy tissue I'm passing & might be blood from an injury to the womb of some sort.

I get the results of my tests in a couple of hours..

So glad I went, I thought they would make me feel like a hypochondriac, but they were genuinely concerned about my symptoms & very sympathetic about the MC, bless em.

I also found out I have retroverted uterus (no one ever mentioned that before!)

Update- I got my results & everything looks fine, but my HCG is still up a bit so I'm in for a scan on monday so they can check 100% one way or another. Thankyou NHS, I've certainly got my moneys worth this time, lol!

Glad they are looking after you hun, I've been thinking about you a lot through all of this, you are so brave dan-o!

for you, I hope this is all over for you soon poppet

Glad everything went well hun. xox I'm happy to hear that they're going to scan you. That way you'll be sure of everything.

I have a retroverted uterus too! I was told nothing to worry about (by three different doctors including gynecologist) because of it though......during pregnancy it will tilt forward. My mom and sister both have it too, hereditary.

Sending you hun. Everything will be fine on Monday, and you'll know for sure that you have passed all clots. Take care love xox

 

[moonmama]

[Nicki2202]

Oh you sure are having a time of it....i'm sooo sorry for you and hope all returns to normal soon so that you can get back to normal

 

[RobenR]

Dano-O I am so sorry you are going through this and having such a horrible time.

 

[rachjim98]

I am glad to hear you maybe finally getting some answers and this horrible experience will hopefully be over soon. Thanks for the update.. xoxox

 

[dan-o]

Hi guys, well.. I got some answers today

I still have a thick womb lining, which is a bit raggeddy from where the D&C thinned it out, looks OK tho, just a lot thicker than they'd have expected. If I don't conceive, before my first AF it will likely be much heavier than normal, but then should be back to normal cycles after that. They said is 100% fine to try, as the lining's so thick, just a slight increased risk of a chemical pg if it embedded in a dodgy patch.
They also saw a fairly large clot, which I will probably pass with another bleeding episode in the next few days, or I might be lucky & pass it in little bits for the next week on and off

But... the bad news is they have cut me inside, 3 times. The worst of which has taken a 7mm chunk out of one of the supporting muscles. The gyne came and explained why it had happened & what they can do about it. As it looks ok, they aren't going to take any action, but it could scar or adhere, in which case (worst case scenario) I could possibly be temproarily infertile until I can have another procedure, bit like a lap & dye with a camera, which can scrape away the scarring.

Lovely.


I get the results of the swabs on weds, but they couldn't see any infection from the scan & don't suspect it from my symtoms. Seems most ;ikely all the blood was from the cuts inside me.

Oh and they also lost my file & notes, so have had to start a new one. Very odd.

I feel OK about it all, I know it's gone wrong, but at least I'm informed & I will most likely make a full recovery in time

 

[rachjim98]

Wow... and the saga contiunes, glad you feel ok about it all. You are one strong lady!
At least you arent hitting the brick wall anymore.. Goodluck dan-o

 

[SarahC]

Blimey!! I really hope this is the end for you now, I don't know how I would have coped. You certainly are one strong lady!!

 

[who's_mummy]

Glad you've got some answers at last, onwards & upwards now!
