can you have a period two weeks after a d and c

February 09, 2008

hi can you please help me with something i had to have a, d and c on the 31st of dec 2007 and i only had spotting for that day and nothing else until two weeks later on the 12th of jan i bled for four days which my period normally is i was wondering if that could have been my period

February 09, 2008

seems like that could be normal, andrea..but I'm not totally sure. I'm sorry you had to go through the d&c. When I had one I had a little spotting and then bled pretty heavily about a week after (which I heard was normal)...can't remember when I got what felt like a normal period, though. Good luck:)

hi taterfay thank you for your answer its so nice to talk to somene about this i am just afraid it was a period because i had unprotected sex after the bleeding and am not sure if i could be pregnant because if it was a period i should have got another one today as its 28 days since the 12th when the bleeding started and i havent got anything yet

Hi Andrea,

May have been a little too early for a period...but one never knows for sure unless blood work or an ultrasound was performed...

February 09, 2008

i know this sounds stupid but i am scared to get blood work done as the month before i had my d and c done i had to go to the hospital every 48 hours to check the levls of my hcg and they were rising slowly and i was so happy being pregnant and on the 27th of dec the doctor told me that they couldnt see a heartbeat and i would need a, d and c i was devestated i dont think i could face all of that again so soon

Andrea, I am so sorry for your loss. I had 2 d&e's and both were the same. I did not bleed at all. My HCG level was rasing very slowly. First time when I did ultrasound I had seen a heart beet. Then nest ultrasound there was no heart beet. The second time I had triplex, but I had three saks but there was no baby. I had done so many ultrasound to make sure that they are wrong but it came back that I was wrong. Both times I had no bleeding at all. First time I got some pills to clean up, the second time I had to go for clean up (abortion) it was for me very emotional to see the pregnant ones and the ones who do not want the baby. Until now I am very sensitive and emotionly I can not take that any more. I still want to do one more time ( I did 3 times) but financialy I am broke and emotionaly. You do not know how sorry I am for your losse. I wish you all the best.

Hi crystal and Basienka i am sorry for your losses. I know how devastating it is to be told that they cannot see a hearbeat. to make sure my hcg levels were after dropping i did a pregnancy test after the bleeding two weeks ago and it was negative i still havent got my period i am so confused what to do.

Hi Dr.Q

The bleeding two weeks after the d&c do you think that was just the after effects of it and not a period i really want to start trying for another baby but am scared it will happen again how long does it take to get a normal period after the d&c

February 10, 2008

This is good information, since we know that hCG was out of your system, you're not having a period now because you haven't ovulated or you are now pregnant...only a test can tell...Good luck!

February 10, 2008

I am scared to do a test i want it to be positive so badly

February 10, 2008

Andrea, I totally understand how u feel and why u feel so scared. Miscarriages in the 1st tri are just a freak of nature. It will definately NOT happen again for u and please be brave and test! Its good to test and get a BFP and then go to the Dr and be under monitoring even though that may not be necessary. Ur upcoming pregnancy will be fine and not necessarily be like the one before.

February 11, 2008

Hi HopeN,

I did the test this morning and it was negative i am heartbroken i really wanted it to be positive

February 14, 2008

Does anybody know if the first real period after a miscarriage is supposed to be very heavy i normally get my period very light and i am nervous because this time its very heavy

February 14, 2008

Hi Andrea im sorry abt the BFN..hope next cycle is urs..U shud post a new question abt the heavy period as I am not really sure abt this situation, may be Dr Q can help.
