I had a D&C 2/15/08, am still bleeding today 6/5/08, doc put me on birthcontrol, not working what should i do?

Question

The doc said I could take up to 2-3 birth control pills a day to help control bleeding, but all it is doing is making me have crazy mood swings and hot flashes. i am starting to get worried. this was my 3rd miscarraige and I think I just had another one (unconfirmed), they did lab and I had a low level of hcg that was gone the next week when we retested, but then the bleeding increased again. Should I go to another Doctor?

Answer 1

call the doc for sure too much blood is not good. sorry to hear as well

Hun that is terrible and i am sorry to hear about  the miscarriage ... i had a d&c due to three hemmorages after the birth of my twins ...i bled for a few weeks at the most ..you need to see another doctors advice you will end up anemic ....go and see someone you shouldn't go through that much longer !

Answer 4

I say get a second opinion....but in the meantime(because scheduling an appointment might take awhile), I say go to your nearest emergency room and see what they say.

Answer 5

Yes. You should. You need to get a vaginal exam. Something could have gotten torn or damaged during the D&C.

Good luck!
