Good news for my update on here. The odor did increase (smelled like something rotting)after my post but only lasted about 2 more days - definately didn't want to stand next to anyone for fear they would smell me like another poster here. I felt so dirty. My doc said to call back in three days for exam if it increased or did not decrease but that some women do experience odor. Doc also said to keep as dry and clean as possible. I was using baby wipes to cleanse between urinating and pad changing but began following the baby wipes by blot drying with tissue after I spoke to Doc. I noticed it decreased significantly as soon as I started seeing discharge of the uterine lining - I can only describe the look of the lining as pieces of steamed apple skin - how it is sorta thin and rubbery looking, not real bright red, but not real pale either. So I feel the odor was the watery discharge (probably was puss because your healing like a burn). It got better for me. Now I'm 11 days post procedure, slight cramps come and go but nothing bad. Still have light yellowish discharge but nothing like I was having the first week (like I was peeing my pants). Today I'm feeling bloated and am anxiously biting my nails to see what my first period is going to be like - alot of people on here say it's really bad and a few it's like nothing....hoping for the nothing!!! HANG IN THERE!!!
