I'm still experiencing my first AF since the D&C. It's been very unusual, but then again, I was warned that it would be unusual. Here's a brief synopsis of the symptoms (in case anyone else is currently going through this and is curious):
2 days of spotting - very very lightly (more brownish discharge-like than actual period)
2 days of a very light flow (it seemed as if AF would start for a teeny bit, stop for a few hours, then start up again for a teeny bit, but there was definitely red blood and not just brownish discharge)
1 day of a medium flow - a definite need to wear a tampon
1 day of a very heavy flow - (woke up and darn it needed to change the bed sheets! Haven't had to do that since I was a teen!)
2nd day of medium to heavy flow (haven't had any "accidents" but definite need to change the tampons every 2-3 hours, again not the norm for me).
So far I have only had fairly mild cramping (just now, which prompted this blog) and on Friday (first day of medium flow). I'm hoping there is an end to this bleeding soon. I'm pretty over having AF.
T-minus 2 days until the big doctor's appointment where we discuss my fibroid situation.
Good luck at the doctors appointment. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy period was very strange right after both D&C surgeries. Long, light, heavy...you name it. I think the second one was pretty close to normal again.
