I'm writing about a miscarriage: how is the D&C done afterwards – immediately after the ultrasound or is a date scheduled? And how does it all happen? I went to the doctor in the evening, I was worried, and by night it got much worse. Yesterday evening the bleeding intensified, and today it's full-blown, like the first three days of a heavy period with clots. My stomach hurts the same way: sometimes it pulls, sometimes it feels like cramps. My breasts hurt a little less, though maybe it's just because I haven't gone anywhere and haven't worn a bra. P.S. Thank you to all the girls who respond to posts like these. I have no one to share this with. I never even thought I'd write here. I told my neighbor about the pregnancy and regretted it – she wouldn't stop talking about it. I wanted support besides from my husband. I don't want to tell one friend anything, she doesn't care. I don't want to tell another friend so as not to upset her; she's 33 and still can't have children 😔
Can anyone share their experience with miscarriage, please? I'm finding conflicting information onli… Before my appointment with the gynecologist, and even throughout the day leading up to it, it's prob…

I had a missed miscarriage exactly 5 years ago at 7-8 weeks… They couldn't find an embryo, and the gestational sac wasn't growing. It all happened at night. While on the way to the hospital by ambulance, I started having cramping pains. An ultrasound and examination confirmed it had begun… They wanted to determine in the hospital if it could be 'saved' 🗿 I refused and went home. I had cramps for several hours. It bled heavily the first day, then spotting. About 5 days later, when the discharge subsided, I had an ultrasound. They confirmed everything had passed on its own, there was nothing in my uterus, and no D&C was needed… So, that's how it went…
Sending you rays of support ❤️

Tatyana Rubtsova Thank you so much for your support, it makes things easier.
I started spotting around October 23rd-24th, and for the past two days, it's been like a regular period. My stomach also keeps aching and cramping periodically.

You know, my last delivery ended up being a vacuum extraction because the placenta didn't come out.
Afterwards, I had clots on ultrasound for two months (placental polyps were suspected), and I had already scheduled a hysteroscopy. But then, the clots passed with my period, and now everything is clear.
I think you'll also have a two-month wait-and-see approach, and if something still remains after that, a hysteroscopy would be better than a D&C.

Yuliya Filippova Do you have a doctor at a private clinic, a women's health center, or a perinatal center?

Yuliya Filippova They'll probably send you for a D&C in the old way.
But the queue for hysteroscopy is huge there.
Hysteroscopy is better because the doctors see with a camera and remove affected areas precisely, not like with a D&C – scraping everything out.
If you happen to need it after all (though let's hope not), you can pay to book an appointment with a surgical gynecologist at the diagnostics clinic, and they'll take you for a hysteroscopy under the public health insurance for free.
I've had it done there, everything was great and the anesthesia was light.

Usually, a D&C is performed after a miscarriage, but it depends on how far along the pregnancy was. I was 13 weeks. The fetus came out whole, but I had a vacuum aspiration. A month later, they had to do it again because something was left behind, and my stomach hurt. Then I had issues with my endometrium, very scanty periods, like spotting, and endometrial hypoplasia.

Don't prepare yourself for the worst, you're still early in your pregnancy, it's likely everything will resolve on its own.

What is your gestational age? I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks, but I couldn't just stay home. I went to the hospital and they did a vacuum aspiration. I was also worried something was left, so I had an ultrasound, and everything was clear.
