My body is finally cooperating

I'm pretty sure this is not normal by any means, but thought I would share.  I bled for ~53 days after being induced at 14w6d.  It FINALLY stopped last Saturday and I have noticed that I am finally coming out of my funk.  It was like having a constant reminder every day of the m/c.  Here's the whole story if you want to know.  It might be TMI, but read on if you want

 I bled normally for about 10 days right after delivery.  Then I had very light bleeding/constant spotting until AF showed up about 5 weeks after delivery.  AF was pretty heavy at first and then just hung on and on and on.  After 2.5 weeks I called the doctor.  Was told to take ibuprofen and call back in a week if still bleeding.  This is where it gets gross.  4 days later I had to go to the hospital.  I was at work and felt a huge gush.  Ran to the bathroom I was still having "AF" so I had a tampon and actually a back-up pad on too. I had all of a sudden bled through all that (and my pants) and had a constant stream into the toilet for 10-15 minutes.  I thought I was going to pass out and bleed to death in the work bathroom...and how embarrassing would that be!  I was totally freaking out.  It finally slowed to the point that I could get up and get to my purse for new supplies.  I was crying and shaking and totally freaked my boss out.  I went to her office and all I said was something like "I have to go now.  Something is very wrong.  I need to go to the hospital."  I called my doctor on the way home (I wanted to get new pants).  And she sent me to the hospital for blood test and an ultrasound.  It was like clockwork, every 2.5 to 3 hours I would have a huge gush and the whole thing would repeat.  They saw that the lining in my uterus was still really thick and they could see clots.  So they gave me methergine to help stop the bleeding.  I went for another ultrasound 3 days later and it looked much better and then the bleeding stopped the next day! 

So I'm a bit anemic, but other than that it is much better.  Now I feel like I can really move on and every day gets easier.  More people IRL know about all of this than I would like, but at least they know why I've been cranky.

I hope nobody else is going through all of this, but if you are, you can at least know that others have been there

I have not been through that specific circumstance but I wanted to tell you that it sounds terrible and I am so sorry. I am glad that you are finally starting to heal.
