D&C and no period in 3 months
:confused:I had a missed miscarriage in Aug 08 and opted to have a d&c straight away. Anyway long story short.. I've not had a period in 3 months. I wasn't given any information of what to expect from the hospital and found on the web that your period should return in 6-8 weeks, to which I then went to see my doctor. I've done several pregnancy tests (all neg) and had bloods done, so definitely not pregnant and all bloods were normal. I have been getting some pain each month around the same time, the first time it happened, I expected my period but it never came!! (I have been on contraceptive for a couple years, but have never suffered with irregular perods). I've had ultrasounds, which have come back inconclusive, so now booked in to see the gynae doc this month. I am extremely worried. I've also had thicker than normal discharge, feels like snot! (sorry). Doctors also done a swab (no std's and no infection). I've had on two occasions discharge tinged with blood, but not enough to say it a period (didn'teven need a sanitary towel). I'm also putting on weight and I don't think I'm eating that much differently. For the moment I've done all I can for now until my appointment, just feel like I'm sitting in limbo!
Has this happened to anyone else? Or is anyone experiencing similar problems? |

Wow - sounds very similar to my situation - Peanut (had I seen you on another site?) - I had a d & c August 8th - after missed m/c on Aug 6th... It has been four months and still no period - monthly LIGHT spotting and pain - but no period - Doctor wants to send me for a SHG to see if possible Ashermans - or other stuff - have you been for a sonogram since?

Why so late girl? They can't see you sooner? I can't believe they said an urgent one & they are waiting so long! I feel you! I just want this over already - as if the m/c wasn't enough for us to suffer through... Yeah - the internet has been savior since the m/c for me! I had my appointment on the 6th - they diagnosed me with ashermans syndrome - I just had an appointment with an RE today - he said the scarring (asherman's) was caused by the d & c and I need surgery to fix it - 'good' news is I have a mild to moderate case & dr said he is 90 % sure he can get 100% of the scarring in 1 operation... so I have the appointment on Jan 28th - going to cost me $5g's but I'll deal with the money part after - this specialist is highly recommended & supposedly one of the best in NYC... Wish me luck - I can't take any more bad news... |

I completely understand how things get brushed aside... even my dh - who has been amazing refuses to speak to me about something really being wrong - Pregnancy is my everything now - I am 30 (almost 31) and do not have kids yet - everyone keeps telling me how young I am but with all the drama I am seriously freaking out - (My best friend has a 15-year-old) I feel you with the stress and eating - luckily I don't really gain it because if I did I'd be a house... To be honest - I had started smoking again... it took me about 3 months after the m/c but I couldn't take it anymore.. my husband has ed me out enough that I really am going to stop again TODAY - but its so hard - I feel u - it is nice to talk to someone whose going through something similar... I'm praying for you too! I've been hearing more positive ashermans stories lately so I'm trying to keep a positive outlook - the surgery is in a week... I've got pre-op bloodwork Saturday, and a seaweed thing put in my cervix on Tuesday then Wednesday that's the big day - I'm so nervous, scared, excited, worried and hopeful all at the same time... 2009 had better be our year! 2008 was seriously the worst! |

PEANUT - had surgery - dr said it went well but it'll still be another 2 weeks before I know for sure... in the meantime I'm drugged up and hoping all is good - the tube started falling out sat night - and I got a TERRIBLE urinary infection - but that's the worst of the drama - how's it going w-you?. MELINDA - there are a million reasons for your no period - but what our situation is is very different - you def don't have it... not possible unless you have had d & c's have you ever? |

When I was younder I missed a couple of periodse.g through stress, body changes, weight loss and weight gain. If you are normally regular, you'll probably be better off seeing your General Practitioner. Good luck Peanut X |

Hey girl - I completely understand your feelings! Right now I'm in paranoia mode that I'll need another surgery etc... after all we have been through its so hard to relax and purely think positively - I try - but as a means of protecting myself I feel like I can't get too excited... So here's the whole story - so you get an idea... 6:45am I arrived at the hospital and went through the check-in process... They take blood , have you put on the attractive hospital clothes and booties etc. Then they had me in a room w-husband answering questions/filling out papers, around 8am they came to get me.. thats when hubby wasn't allowed to come. They took me and another woman - walked up the elevator & down several FREEZING long hospital hallways - I felt like I was going to the morgue - the area was so far back and so cold... then they sit us in seats outside 2 "office" rooms. A receptionist called us one at a time and asked us questions - then waiting - me and the woman began to chat - we were both nervous - she was there for a brest operation... we were in about being female :-) anyway then a nurse came & called me in the office; she said she was the nurse blah, blah blah.. then the anestesiologist... etc. Then my doctor came... He told me that he was only going to do laparoscopy if it was completely necessary (i.e. if the scar tissue had hardened and was difficult to remove) anyway - few minuets later they came for me and walked me to surgery room... (doctor gave a warm "welcome" like I was walking in his living room - ) They had me ly on the table - I got a little worried when dr asked nurse if she had ever don't one before because she didn't know how to re-arrange the table for my operation so the doctor did it himself.. I didn't get the feeling she had... ahhhh... but I was also relieved that I had the kids of doctor that didn't need to rely on the nurse and was willing to do things you usually don't see doctors doing himself :-) Anyway - little conversation - needles in the back of my hand and I was OUT! (they didn't even have me count or anything... ) I don't know what time that was but I guess around 8:30ish... I woke up in a bed in the recovery room at 10:15 (I was facing the clock when I woke up so I saw the exact time) The doctor was speaking to me but I was so groggy I didin't really understand anything he said to me... I remember thinking to myself - oh at least I'll get home by noon... Finally when I got up up she asked how I felt - I told her I was a little crampy so she said OK - I heard something about a drug - no Idea what it was but I felt GREAT at that point... She said to go home I had to pee first... I felt like I had to go... but I went, tried & couldn't... The nurse took my temperature which was apparently VERY low - (I was shivering) she bundled me up w- 8 blankets and a heater and got me some hot decaf coffee... After that I sat there for about an hour talking and laughing with the nicest nurse (Denise) I have ever met! As I said - I felt No pain :-) after the hour I tried to pee again... I was just getting restless... I wanted to see my husband... but I still couldn't... this was now 2-decafs later... she told me I could be moved to the recovery downstairs where my husband could meet me... While getting in the wheelchair the doctor came in with another patient he had finished operating on... I had a chance to speak to him awake - he said the surgery went well... that he didn't need the laparoscpy but I really had needed the surgery cause my uterus was completely blocked w-scarring... ok - a bit relieved... I went downstairs they brought my husband to the room and here the peeing became a major issue... 5 coffee cups 3 glasses of water and a cup of apple juice and I still couldn't pee... I got really pissed when I saw the woman who had surgery AFTER me come down get up pee and leave w-her husband... 3 tries later I finally got a few drops out ( remember I was scared & unable to push because of the balloon) they told me I was cleared to go... so in the snowstorm we caught a cab home at two in the afternoon... Hubby went to get me the meds... I was miserable with the pee situation (NOT knowing it was a UTI - I thought it was surgery related) but other that that the drugs were still working so I was a little 'silly' - I watched a few movies w-hubby and went to bed... During the night I woke up several times w-MAJOR urine issues! All day Thursday I stayed on the toilet cause I was dying... finally Friday morning at 7am I called the doctors... I finally figured out I had a UTI and it was not surgery causing this... They called in a perscription after an hour of begging & fighting with the nurse who wanted me to come in to give a sample... and finally yelled at her "lady I am calling you from the toilet! I will not make it on a train down there...and I just had surgery two days ago and I'm supposed to be in bed!!!" she tells me how dr is going to want me to come... I yelled to JUST ASK HIM! And she called me back 5 minuets later like "he said ok - do you have a pharmacy number" anyway - the medicine started to kick in around Saturday... still feels a little off - but in all seriousness I didn't feel anything more then minor cramps from the surgery - maybe it was so overshadowed by the uti that I didn't feel it... Saturday night - the tube attached to the balloon started falling out a little - I freaked - lisa heads up this apparently happens a lot - dr said to push it back in - I had hubby do it cause I was so freaked... what if I do damage.. etc... Yesterday - went to have the balloon removed - now this was a surprise! Girl - watch out ma... this kind of hurt... I felt so much going on down there I asked to see it when it was finally out... THIS THING WAS HUGE!! Not the balloon - that was deflated... the tube connected... I swear I can't believe all that was inside me... anyways - last night I had terrible cramps - funny - after the giant thing is out I got cramps... I had slowed down on bleeding (which I've been doing since the operation.. feels like way too much cause its been since may w-no period.. but in reality its just like a normal flow w-extra mucus (sorry to be graphic) anyway I started getting paranoid - like they took the balloon out too soon and its closing up and sealing together again... I didn't relax till I saw some more blood today... I'm so scared... I NEED this to have worked... I can't go through any more... So now I'm crampy and anxious - it'll be two weeks till the follow-up scan and I am so scared... In reality Iit won't be till my march period that this will be really over... if all goes well... so the waiting is still continued... yet more hopeful... In the meantime - TWO girls I know just announced they are pregnant - and even have the same due date etc... I am happy for them - it just hurts so much! |

Oh honey well done! And thanks for the update - it's a better account of what happens, rather than reading it from a leaflet or the doctor trying to describe it in a paragraph. I know it must be silly, but you must have been pleased to see some blood! After all this time. It'll all be fine, you'll see. They know what they're doing, they've taken the ballon out at the right time. What you need to do is let your body heal and the only way you can assist that is by relaxing (say's she). Have you thought about going for a massage, spa day to pamper yourself or something like that? My general practitioner has referred me for counselling (shrink as you may call it) and I had an assessment on Monday. The consultant was so understanding and to be totally honest it felt like a mini weight had been lifted after we spoke. He has referred me for a course of one-to-one sessions, so I'll see how it goes. We've had snow over here for two days and th earth stood still... no buses, trains etc so there was no school, hence no work for me! YIPPEE! It was great, we had snow fights in the street I live. We haven't had this much snow since 1994. They say it may snow tomorrow! I'm hoping it is, so I can have a ly in and work from home. Anyway things seem to be getting there slowly but surely for both of us! 20 more days to go for me! Speak soon and take care Xxx;)
