I just had my D&C yesterday but I had brown spotting for about a week before the D&C. After my surgery yesterday I bled bright red for a little and then haven't had any bleeding since.
My doctor told me that I could expect to have little or no bleeding or spotting up to two weeks. She said everyone is different so she couldn't give me a real answer.

I bled for about two weeks with my 2nd and not at all with my 1st (different docs). My 2nd doc explained that b/c my uterus is tilted, she didn't want to get too agressive... so I guess I had a 1/2 D&C, 1/2 natural MC of sorts...
I had very little bleeding at first and then 5 days later started having a lot of bleeding for a week. I was told when I called that it was normal to have some degree of bleeding for up to 2 weeks. Do you have a follow-up soon that you could ask about it?
TTC#1 starting Feb 2011, BFP #1:5/31/11, CP: 6/6/11; BFP #2: 7/9/11, loss confirmed 8/3 with D&C on 8/12 finding complete molar pregnancy. Forced break until Feb 2012. My blog
I had my D&C on Monday and the bleeding has been very minimal. I only use a panty liner. I could, but don't, wear the same liner all day as it is that light.
BFP#1: 9.16.08 DD: 5.28.09
BFP#2: 7.10.11 MMC: 8.3.11 D&C: 8.29.11
BFP#3: 12.5.11 MC: 12.22.11
BFP#4: 2.14.12 MMC: 3.8.12 D&C: 3.13.12 Loss due to Trisomy 16
BFP#5: 6.11.12 MC: 6.28.12 Loss due to Triploidy
RPL BW, Sonohystogram, Chromosome testing on DH and myself = everything is normal
BFP#6: 12.4.12 EDD: 8.16.13
Things I did different with this pregnancy:
1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
4. Daily lovenox injections
My follow up appointment isn't for a couple of weeks from now.
Meanwhile, I'm still spotting very small amounts of REALLY dark brown.
I will call my doctor today to see what gives with this weird spotting. It has lessened a bit, but it's so unlike any spotting I've ever had.... so dark brown and weird texture. :-(
