The last time I had a D&C/Hysterscopy/endometrial biopsy I had very very
light bleeding for 2 weeks and felt great. At the 2 week mark I started
bleeding VERY heavy and unbarable cramping. Turns out everything was
ok. My doc said everyone is different??? I thought If I was going to
have pain and bleed heavy it would have been in the first 2 wks not
after. Go figure???
I did see the doc to make sure I didnt develope an infection.
With your depression I think it could be the meds. I know I never feel
quite right emotionally when taking pain meds.
I hope you feel better soon. Lots of luck to you!
