D&C hasn't removed everything!!!!

[AS1]

I had my D&C last wednesday morning and felt great physically I was back to normal the next day (or so I thought!) Late on Saturday night I had really bad abdominal pain which lasted right through until Sunday evening, I then passed some clots one very big on Sunday night. I have never had pain like this before. I ended up back at the hospital today and after a scan it was confirmed that there is still a lot of tissue left in my uterus.....I'm not sure if its placental tissue but I definately don't seem to have had the same drastic drop in hormones as I did with my last D&C.

Rather than do another D&C the doctor has given me antiobiotics to help prevent infection and said that my next period will be extremely heavy. I'm a bit concerned that this tissue won't fully empty from my womb and may prevent me getting pregnant in the future. I also meant to ask that they check my HCG levels but after a five hour wait with lots of pregnant women I fogot as the maternity hospital was the last place I wanted to be tonight!!

Has this happened to anyone else? I'm really starting to get peeved off with the whole thing don't want to have to go back to that maternity hospital again, some of the midwives seem so hardened to all this I felt like I was a hassle tonight even though I had tried my GP first who referred me there
for a scan!!

Think I just hate the world at the minute!!!! aaagggghhhhh

Really glad of this site as I have told no-one only my family this time, last time I told some work colleagues and other friends and to be honest they weren't much help I think only people who are going through it or who have recently gone through mc can kind of appreciate how you feel. xx

Hi.

Im so sorry for your loss and the crappy time your having at the mo.

Loads of

This happened to me in 2007.

I lost my daughter, she was still born at 40 weeks and unbeknown to me, some of her placenta remained. 6 days after having her i passed a clot the size of my fist. Fortunatly i was at the hospital at the time and i buzzed the MW and she checked it and confirmed it was indeed placental tissue. I had a d+c on the Wed, (9 days post natal) i was let home on the Thurs.

On the Sat morning i went to the toilet and passed another clot and this time i cudnt get of the toilet my tummy was so sore, my dp had to call and an ambulance and on arrival i was given an internal and more placental tissue was their. I refused another d+c and was given sum very strong antibiotics and pain killers and kept in for 24 hrs and then released.

I dont think the left over tissue will do any harm, the antibiotics will make sure of this.

I dont think it will prevent you from having a successful pregnancy, i am currently 28 wks pregnant after all that trauma and so far so good.

I really do know how you feel sat in the Maternity unit full of pregnant women when all you want is to be pregnant like them.

Get your GP to do your bloods, its so much easier than sat in Maternity.

Sorry im waffling.

V - Thanks so much I really appreciate your advice and if you were able to come through it after that then it gives me some hope. Its good to hear nice stories and its great that you think of us in the miscarriage section after your experiences and offer help and advice even though you are now 28weeks pregnant!!! I wish you all the luck in the world with this baby. xx

You poor thing. It is so frustrating when you think you are all clear and then realise it hasn't all gone. At least you've got pills to take now. I was still getting positive test over 2 weeks after my d&c so going to check tonight that it is bfn. If not think I will go to docs to get them to check my blood. Hope you feeling ok and sorry for your loss.
