Anyone have a d&c after a miscarriage and can give me a sense of recovery time? Not sure if I only need to take the day of off work, or the next day too. Thanks.

Sorry for your loss - one day was plenty for me physically. Just came home and slept / relaxed on the couch.

Hi there, i’m really sorry for your loss. I agree with above, the emotional aspect is the hardest. Give yourself grace.

Recovery can depend on how far along you were. I was well into my second trimester for one and had bleeding for 3-4 weeks after but no physical pain at all. It really was a very simple procedure.

Thanks for sharing. It feels rare to hear experiences of other 2nd trimester procedure/ recovery. Appreciate the color.

I’ll be having a D&E soon and doc told me the mental toll would be worse than the physical. Sorry you’re going through this. Wishing you a seamless procedure.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My husband and I took off the full week. I learned of the loss on Monday, the D&C was scheduled for Tuesday, and we just spent the rest of the week together. It’s hard to say what was true recovery vs shock and depression, but at a minimum I needed a full day to recover physically. I was just so sad that I couldn’t function - we spent the days together and just tried to relax and be gentle with ourselves. Mine was a loss right around 15 weeks.

Also, I can’t remember if it was that night or the following, but I bled through the pads and stained our couch - I was a mess. Between the meds and the emotions and the bleeding, there was no way I could’ve gone back earlier.

I scheduled for a Friday so I could have the weekend to recover.

Take next day off too. The medication made me feel terrible and working from home I could barely make it to 5 pm and it was brutal.

I have to go in on Thursday for it. Thankfully I have an amazing boss who asked no questions and told me to take the time I needed for the surgery.

First surgery for me personally. I was able to break it up into 15 payments online which was a little more reasonable. Didn't even talk to a human

Ugh I’m so sorry. I took one full day and had no complications. I think it’s more what you need emotionally. I was fully remote so I could privately grieve when needed.

Sorry for your loss. I took a day and was back online the next day. I recommend taking 2 days to recover physically and emotionally.

So sorry for your loss. I have been through D&C and D&E and remembering feeling fine after a couple days. I took a vacation of 10 days straight after D&C. The food and change of place helped me. I took a week off post my D&E. I took therapy for a few weeks, did some meditations but I believe my 2 months old pup helped me the most as I was so focused on him.

I ended up with inflammation of my uterine lining (endometritis) after my D&C and was placed on heavy antibiotics so I took an entire week off to recover and rest as the antibiotics knocked me out. Agree the mental effects are worse than physical. Sorry you have to go through this.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience with low heart rate at around 6.5 weeks before it stopped. I felt physically fine after my d&c and worked later that day (helped to get my mind off it). I had no bleeding whatsoever and no complications after - mine was also performed by my fertility clinic. Take all the time you need to recover though - everyone is different.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I have had 2 and you need one day for the procedure but recommend taking more time off for emotional healing.

Physically, I was okay the next day. Mentally, I was not okay for at least three days

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had one in 2020 and ended up taking a week off work. I was physically okay after a couple days, but emotionally was not fine at all.

I took off a week after D&C and 3 after D&E. Like other have said above, the mental is definitely worse than the physical but I always react pretty poorly to being put under so wanted to give myself ample time to feel “back to normal”

I’m so sorry for your loss. 😭 I had a D&C and I was physically okay after a couple of days. Emotionally though I was a wreck. I went back to work too soon in order to make myself feel normal again… I regret that. Lol I ended up bawling in a meeting with thankfully just my work bestie. I suggest taking time for your emotions as well as your physical body to heal.

Sending you lots of positive energy of peace & healing. I was too afraid to have a d&c so I took the medication to continue the labor process for 48 hours to allow everything to come out naturally.

For me it was a success. Not too much bleeding, some pain & cramping after wards for about 3-7 days. I was in FMLA (intermittent leave) so I took all the time I needed.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).
