And then the Pain

I take it back. Last night I woke up to horrible pain and cramps at 3am. I went to the bathroom and found blood and chunks when I wiped. I considered taking my prescription pain meds, but they haven't really been that great so I went with the old standby: Pamprin. What relief when that finally kicked in!

I guess the bleeding has started. I wonder if it's because I started taking my low aspirin again on Friday. Maybe I shouldn't for a while.

Hope you are feeling better soon. I had 2 D&C's and I wasn't in too much pain or bleeding the first day or so and then I started bleeding a lot and having the pain. Wish you comfort

Shannon-

Delurking to send some love and hugs, and this bit of info:

According to the doctor who did my D and E after the last loss, pain can be very variable for up to 2 weeks afterwards. So it's nothing to worry about if you hurt more on day 5 than on, say, day 2. That said, nothing to worry about is a relative term and I think my MD was kind of an arrogant a-hole, so do with that as you will.

Hope the pain goes away soon.
