D&C Annoyed

I am still cramping and bleeding (not spotting) 3 weeks after my D&C. Is this normal and is it going to ever stop? I am scheduled for a hysterectomy in January and I would love to have a break from it before my surgery. Thanks, Gin

I also had a D & C 3 weeks before my hysterectomy and never stopped bleeding. I had a period that lasted for almost 2 months which is the reason my Dr. did the D & C. I was also on megestrol which didn't stop it either. Now after my hysterectomy I can say there is no more bleeding and I feel great! I hope yours stops or at least slows down by the time you have your surgery. Good luck!!!

Wow, I would check with your doctor.

I had a D&C in late May and had no cramping and no spotting or bleeding at all. I had no pain after my D&C at all.

My D&C actually pretty much stopped my bleeding because my gynecologist removed a big uterine polyp.

Good luck!

I had the D&C for dysfunctional bleeding and well............I guess I still have dysfunctional bleeding. :-) No doubt the decision to go ahead with a hysterectomy in January is the correct one. Thanks you for the input everyone.

yep me too..didn't do anything for me at all...even the Dr told me it should have slowed it up but it didn't....

So sorry you're going through this! I had numerous D&C's done in the past and none of them ever completely stopped my bleeding either. Sometimes it would make it slow down, other times it was like I hadn't had anything done at all. Hang in there.. praying you get some relief before your hysterectomy.
