TMI: Sex 8 days after D&C? **UPDATE**

[bostonblonde]

It's been 8 days since my D&C. After heavy bleeding last weekend and a few days of spotting, I have finally stopped all traces of bleeding. I've read that it's safe to resume, er, "normal activities" after bleeding has stopped.

I'm slightly tender afterwards but other than that I feel fine.

Have I put myself at risk? Has anyone else started up again so soon after D&C?

I wasnt told to abstain at all from sex as a post op measure. Of course I didnt bound right back into it for emotional reasons, but I did take it back up and I was still bleeding lightly, mine didnt stop entirely for 9 days, and I havnt had any ill effects. I dont think you put yourself at risk at all hun, many women on here seem to carry on as per usual and are alright. Bug hugs to you!

when i had my dnc bleeding stopped the next day and me and oh had sex 4 days after so you will be fine, after all it's the most natural thing in the world and all i wanted to do was feel close to him again after pushing him away during my mc xxxxx big hugs xxxxxx

You haven't put yourself at risk at all, I was told by my consultant to wait until the bleeding had finished to prevent infection so you have done the right thing.

Good luck hunnyxxx

Nope, shouldnt be a prob. we had sex the very day afer my bleeding stopped, and im fine!!

Now I'm a tiny bit worried... I saw a bit of light pink spotting in my undies today. Also I'm a tiny bit tender. Guess i wasn't quite done bleeding yet? I'm really hoping it was just leftover!

Help?

Again, dont worry.. you will be fine.

Your only worry is infection.. so keep an eye out for heavy blood, and smelly.

otherwise its all systems GO!

I bled heavy for 3 days, then stopped for 2 days, then the heavy bleeding began again for another week and then i had 11 days of light bleeding/spotting, it will be like that you'll think i'ts stopped and it might come back but i was told not to worry unless any smeel etc. x
