I had the d&c on Friday and then pretty much slept the entire day. I felt pretty good on Saturday and was hardly spotting at all. I am NOT a pain medication person and prefer to avoid it so I never even filled my prescription for the strong ibuprofen that they gave me (I don't take other pain meds). On Sunday though I woke up with horrible pains that were far worse than cramping. I was bleeding heavily and was miserable. When the pain would occur, I couldn't even stand up - it would literally take my breath away.
On Sunday night I couldn't sleep because of the pain and I developed a fever, bodyaches, and had the chills. It was awful! I called the doctor on Monday and they rushed me right in. I was given antibiotics and then I filled my pain medication. During the day, I passed many large clots and the doctor believed that the d&c didn't quite get everything and that I might have to have another procedure done! UGH!
After an ultrasound on Tuesday, they realized that the worst of it was over and that I would not need another procedure (thank God!). I am still on medication for the infection and for the pain. The good news is that as soon as AF shows up I can start the medication for a frozen embryo transfer. The doctors seemed optimistic and hopeful.
