D&C another question

[AlwaysPraying]

I'm having hot and cold flashes, but I don't have a fever. Is this part of my hormones settling down? Or should I be worried? It's only been two days since, and today I'm really emotional like pms stuff. Just wondering what's normal, and what I should look at closer. I have an appointment with my dr on tuesday.

It may be your hormones hun as you don't have a fever. I would have thought if it was an infection there would have been fever with it, I would mention it to your dr on tuesday though just so they can check you over but do go up to A&E if you start feeling worse.

Emotionally hun, it's quite normal. After giving birth it is normally day 3 when the blues set in, I guess thats when the hormones take a real dive, I always got the blues big time after my girls and expected it after my loss although I for some reason didn't think it would be as bad as I hadn't been pregnant as long but unfortunately it was just the same and on top of all you have been through I think that makes it all so much more emotional.

Take care x

I really feel for you I was absolutely all over the place from a few days after my D&C, then it settled, then I had another very emotional few days about a month after. I had a lot of trouble with bleeding too, which made things worse!

I still get the odd day even now, but it's a lot easier.

I think if there is even a hint of an infection tho, you should get your doc to give you some AB's just to be safe xx

I'm really embarrassed, but figure I would come clean. I was outside for a while yesterday and figured out late last night that I had a slight sunburn. That would explain all the feelings, chills, hot flashes, light headed stuff, everything. Also, with how sensitive I am emotionally and all that, it just added up.

I guess it's good not everything is caused by what happened, but then, strangely on the other hand, I'm in disbelief that life can just go on and my body can do other things not related. Do you know what I mean?

The blues are hard and they are here. Yuck.

Don't be embarrassed hun, it happens.
As for the comment about life just going on... that's the hardest part for me too. Just trying to fathom life moving forward, like it or not. Hang in there hunny, here if you need me.

Hun, sorry to hear you got sunburnt but glad it's just that causing the hot and cold feeling. Don't be embarassed - I'm sure we would have been the same, after my loss I felt like I didn't know my body and after 30 years that was a little wierd as it felt like my mind was completely seperate from my body, my body just did it's own thing and I felt like I had no control over it and to this day I don't trust it!

I hope the blues don't last too long hun, I found the first 2 weeks the hardest, hope things start looking brighter soon x

hi everyone..this is my first time on a forum not sure how it all works! I had my 12 week scan on the 13th april, found out my little angel hadn't grown past 5 weeks, they call it a silent miscarriage apparantly. I ended up choosing the D&C. Didnt really let anything sink in until after the op and i just cant cope. Im stuck in that scan room, ive just functioned and went thru the motions since. Im constantly putting on a brave face, now even in front of my husband. The only time i allow myself to get upset is alone in the shower, sometimes i feel suffocated by the grief, anger and pain. I bled after op, stopped and started again id picked up an infection. Bleeding has stopped but when i wipe after the toilet im getting a brownish kinda of discharge sometimes with stringy bits..is this normal?? Ive still not had period either and am desparate to have it so i can start trying again..please tell me im not alone. xx
