D&C or miscarrage and trying again

[Anya1984]

Hello ladies.....for those who know me, I was 6 weeks pregnant..went to u/c today and doc didn't see embryo in gestational sac which means that it stopped developing....on Tuesday Im going for another u/c to confirm...after that I either going to have a natural m/c (btw, does anyone know how to make it happen?) or going under D&C (how is the procedure done)?

My question is, how soon can we start trying for a new cycle after miscarrage?????

Im soooo depressed right now and would like some input.......

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

So glad to hear you are ok and bouncing back.....hang in there and let me know if you need anything!!

[Anya1984]

I believe the dosage was right for my body and height/weight but what they didn't know is that I didn't tolarate even that dosage so I just stopped breathing....in any event, I am fine now and when I asked my nurse today about it , she got irritated with me, kinda saying that it was normal....hm....
I like my doc and my nurse so im not going to make a stink about it..
All I want is to get preggo again and GOD PLEASE, don't make me have another m/c!!
Thank you!

Gosh, I'm sorry.  Wow, that is pretty insane.  I recall you said you've had bad reactions to anesthesia before, didn't they know that?  Did they just give you the heaviest dose?  Last time I had it the anesthesiologist made a point of telling me it would a "light" one, particularly since the procedure is not long.  And I am petite too.  

I'm glad you are recovering OK though, but maybe change docs once you ready to TTC again.

Jeese louis, what kind of docs are you going to if they gave you too much dosage? I mean, come on. Seriously investigate that anesthesiologist. This shouldn't be rocket science to them. Makes me so mad.

Good luck with everything.

[Anya1984]

Yes, thank you. Im expecting to spotting soon I guess, many girls say they started to spot later...Im still not spotting...
Anyway, I nearly died there after the procedure because of the anasthesia ..I stopped breathing and docs were fighting for my life.. :) but Thank God, I am ok now.
Docs say that the dosage was too big for my tiny body :(
anyway, I m just trying to move on ...and I really hope to start trying again soon!

Hi Anya! I'm glad the procedure and everything went OK, but I'm sorry you're not feeling to good. I think it is normal to be a little under the weather for a few days after, though, but like the others are saying, take your temperature when you get home...just in case.

I hope you feel better soon!

[Anya1984]

I think I am just hot...cuz my forehead is not that hot :) anyway, I feel like **** :(
Yeah, I took doxycycle for infection, for  3 days as prescribed.

[rene67]

Right, fever is not good, could be sign of infection.  Are you taking antibiotics?

[Anya1984]

Yes, I will do so. but im at work and there is no thermometr here...I feel hot but my body isn't hot. maybe it is just super hot in the office....in any event, i just feel fatige and my doc says its normal, I need to rest...and of course I can't :(
So how are you feeling? How many weeks are you now?

[alikat1205]

If you have a fever, it is VERY important to let your doctor know.  Cramps are normal (did they give you some pain meds?) but fever is NOT, it can signal an infection.  Take your temp and call them back if it is over 99!

[Anya1984]

Thank you, my nurse said that my cervix is closing and that's why i have such horrible cramps....I hope it goes away soon..I think I also have a fever cuz I feel very weak and just horrible..
I wish I can go home now but I have a meeting soon and have so much work to do :(

[rene67]

Glad everything went OK.  I think cramps can be normal even a few days later.  

Maybe take some Motrin and see if they subside. If not, call your doctor. If they are really severe, maybe just call you doctor now.

[Anya1984]

Hello everyone!
My procedure went OK, thanks for the support.
My only problem is now that it has been 2 days since ,no spotting no pain, and only today I am experiencing horrible severe cramps!!
Does anyone know why and what I should do?!

[eternidad200]

I am so sorry this happened to you.

[Anya1984]

WOW!! You are!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im very happy for you, please keep me posted!

[alikat1205]

I got pg four months after my first m/c.  :)  Best of luck.  I am BFP!!!!!!!!  You'll get there, you will.

[Anya1984]

Thank you
I was not only sad, I was depressed in hysteria for 5 days before I let go the fact that Im not going to have this baby....now I just want it over so I can start over....
How are you in your treatment?
You had 2 m/c, were you able to get pregnant asap after your first m/c?
Gosh, I feel so sorry for all those ladies who had to go through with m/c more than 1 time....its heartbreaking!!!!!!!

[alikat1205]

One more thing, being sad is normal and you should allow yourself to feel that, but don't beat yourself up about the procedure too.

[alikat1205]

I do understand that.  I had two natural m/c and two d/c for non m/c reasons.  And it is alot to think about.  But everyone's getting that view when you have a baby, so you're getting over that modesty now!  Really, I spent alot of time horrified over the visual, don't do it to yourself.  It's medical, they're there to take care of you.  This is one step towards your goal try to think of it that way (not easy I know).  Now you can heal, and grieve this baby, and now you will have an angel to watch over you.  That is how I think about it.  I even bought a little baby angel statue, it is a newborn baby angel sleeping with its wings tucked around it, and I wrote the date of my miscarriages on the bottom and it is a reminder of the angel babies I have watching over me.  

[Anya1984]

I know..but I can't help how I feel..its because I hate having anything done down there....and picturing this procedure makes me sick and humiliated..
sorry I ve been very emotional lately....:(

[alikat1205]

Im so sorry.  There is nothing to be humiliated about.  You didnt do anything wrong.  

[Anya1984]

Oh, I see...
Yeah, HSG was horrible experience and I just hope that d&c is a lil better.....I just feel humiliated...

[maybebaby29]

Well for HSG they usually don't give you anything. They rely on you to take your ibuprofin before hand. I asked for the valium because when I told my doc "you know, I"ll probably kick you out of nervousness." he goes "ok one valium coming up". It only took the edge off my nerves. It wasn't anesthesia or pain meds.

[Anya1984]

Yes, it is very painful to know that my baby stopped growing and end of story......
Also Im very freaked out about the whole procedure thing.....its just so unnatural...
anyway, I will have it today so wish me luck :(
