Sending baby dust ur way🫶🏾

I had my D&C 3 weeks ago after a MMC at 12 week scan. It’s an awful time so heartbreaking thinking off you 💕 i had light bleeding for 17days after. I had a scan today as still testing positive all went well just a few blood clots left which they hope will go by themselves they’re going to repeat the scan in 2 weeks. Hoping to start trying again in the new year.
I don’t know the full details about the blood type but My friend has the same blood type and has 2 healthy boys their pregnancy’s were fine what they do is test babies blood type and according to results she’ll need injections at certain times when pregnant. She didn’t need these with her first 2 pregnancies but with her 3rd she’s currently having now she does.

thank you💕 I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through it as well! Ah I hope they go away on their own for you, I was told to wait 3 weeks as well to test. Sending baby dust for the new year✨
Thank you for sharing your story and your friends!!🫶🏻

curious how far along you were when you had your d&e. I just had one at 17 weeks 3.5 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for my period to come (my hcg zero’d out a couple days ago finally).

Hey, I have a WhatsApp group chat with a bunch of girls who are TTC after a miscarriage if you would like to join

I was 16 weeks

Hello @Elise, do you remember how many days after your HCG dropped you got your period? Just underwent D&C last week n trying to set my expectations right.

my cycle after my 17 week d&e was off because I ended up having a small piece of retained placenta. So basically, I got a “period” back about 4 weeks after my d&e so only a couple of days after I posted here. But it was SUPER light and only lasted 2 days. I ended up going back in for a followup d&c a week later and my cycle came back 2 weeks after that (so all in was a super short, 23 day cycle). And that next cycle I got pregnant and now I’m 24 weeks!

@Elise so are you saying that even after you get your period, there's a chance that you'll have retained placenta? I didn't know that. How am I supposed to know everything is ok without a follow up appointment? My OB didn't tell anything about follow up appointment..
I was under the impression that if I get my period, it would mean nothing is retained and hence HCG drops and I get the period after and I can TTC.

No matter what you should have a follow up appt after a miscarriage. Generally it’s 2 weeks out from an early miscarriage such as yours where you have a d&c or opt to pass tissue naturally or via pills. For a d&e (second trimester), it’s common to have that follow up 4 weeks out. This is standard procedure. If your doctor didn’t schedule a followup, you need to advocate for that with them and honestly I’d consider looking for another doctor.

@Elise thank you for the advice. Let me call my hospital up and try and get a follow up appointment.
